Electric Vehicle
An electric vehicle is driven using a  
battery and an electric motor. While 
general vehicles use an internal 
combustion engine and gasoline as fuel, 
electric vehicles use electrical energy 
that is charged inside the high voltage 
battery. As a result, electric vehicles are 
eco-friendly in that they do not require 
fuel and do not emit exhaust gases.
Characteristics of Electric  
Vehicles
1.  It is driven using the electrical energy that is charged inside the high voltage  
battery. This method prevents air 
pollution since fuel, like gasoline, is 
not required, negating the emission of 
exhaust gases. 
2.  A high performance motor is used  in the vehicle as well. Compared to 
standard, internal combustion engine 
vehicles, engine noise and vibrations 
are much more minimal when driving. 
3.  When decelerating or driving  downhill, regenerative braking is 
utilized to charge the high voltage 
battery. This minimizes energy loss 
and increases the distance to empty. 
4.  When the battery charge is not 
sufficient, AC charge, DC charge and 
trickle charge are available. (Refer to 
“Charge Types for Electric Vehicle” for 
details.)
 Information
What does regenerative braking do?  
It uses an electric motor when decelerating  and braking and transforms kinetic 
energy to electrical energy in order to 
charge the high voltage battery. (Torque 
is applied in the opposite direction when 
decelerating to generate braking force and 
electric energy.)
Battery Information
•	 The vehicle is composed of a high  
voltage battery that drives the motor 
and air-conditioner, and an auxiliary 
battery (12 V) that drives the lamps, 
wipers, and audio system. 
•	 The auxiliary battery is automatically 
charged when the vehicle is in the 
ready (
) mode or the high 
voltage battery is being charged.

Main Components of Electric  
Vehicle
•	On-Board Charger (OBC) : A device  
that charges the high voltage battery 
by converting AC power of the power 
grid to DC power. 
•	 Inverter : Transforms direct current 
into alternate current to supply power 
to the motor, and transforms alternate 
current into direct current to charge 
the high voltage battery.
•	 LDC : Transforms power from the high 
voltage battery to low voltage (12 V) to 
supply power to the vehicle (DC-DC). 
•	 VCU : Control the various controls on 
the vehicle.
•	 Motor : Uses electrical energy stored 
inside the high voltage battery to drive 
the vehicle (functions like an engine in 
a standard vehicle).
•	 Reduction gear : Delivers rotational 
force of the motor to the tires at 
appropriate speeds and torque. 
•	 High voltage battery (lithium-ion 
battery) : Stores and supplies power 
necessary for the electric vehicle 
to operate (12 V auxiliary battery 
provides power to the vehicle features 
such as lights and wipers). 
 
à OBC : On-Board Charger
 
à LDC : Low Voltage DC-DC Converter
 
à VCU : Vehicle Control Unit
 WARNING
•	 Do not intentionally remove  
or disassemble high voltage 
components and high voltage 
battery connectors and wires. Also, 
be careful not to damage high 
voltage components and the high 
voltage battery. It may cause serious 
injury and significantly impact the 
performance and durability of the 
vehicle.
•	 When inspection and maintenance 
is required for high voltage 
components and the high voltage 
battery, contact an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
High Voltage Battery   
(lithium-ion battery)
•	The charge amount of the high  
voltage battery may gradually 
decrease when the vehicle is not 
being driven. 
•	 The battery capacity of the high 
voltage battery may decrease when 
the vehicle is stored in high/low 
temperatures. 
•	 Distance to empty may vary depending on the driving conditions 
(such as outside temperature), even 
if the charge amount is the same. 
The high voltage battery may expend 
more energy when driving at high-
speed or uphill. These actions may 
reduce the distance to empty.
•	 The high voltage battery is used when 
using the air-conditioner / heater. 
This may reduce the distance to 
empty. Make sure to set moderate 
temperatures when using the air-
conditioner/heater.

Utility Mode 
The high voltage battery is used instead  
of the 12V auxiliary battery for operating 
the convenient features of the vehicle. 
When driving is not necessary such as 
while camping or when stopping the 
vehicle for a long time, it is possible to 
use the electrical devices (audio, lights, 
air conditioner, heater, etc.) for long 
hours.

When the remaining battery is lower than  
10 % on the SOC gauge, the warning light (
) turns ON to alert you of the battery 
level. 
When the warning light (
) turns ON, 
the vehicle can drive an additional 18 ~  
25 miles (30 ~ 40 km) depending on the 
driving speed, heater/air conditioner, 
weather, driving style, and other factors. 
Charging is required.
NOTICE
When the high voltage battery range  
shows 25 ~ 30 miles (40 ~ 50 km), 
the vehicle speed is limited and then 
eventually the vehicle will turn OFF. 
Charge the vehicle immediately.
Aux. Battery Saver+
The Aux. Battery Saver+ is a function that  
monitors the charging status of the 12 V 
auxiliary battery. 
If the auxiliary battery level is low, the  
main high voltage battery charges the 
auxiliary battery.   
 Information
•	 The Aux. Battery Saver+ activates  
maximum of 20 minutes. If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function activates 
more than 10 times consecutively, in 
the Automatic Mode the function will 
stop activating, judging that there is 
a problem with the auxiliary battery. 
In this case, drive the vehicle for some 
period of time. The function will start activating if the auxiliary battery 
returns to normal. 
•	 The Aux. Battery Saver+ function 
cannot prevent battery discharge if the auxiliary battery is damaged, worn out, 
used as a power supply or unauthorized 
electronic devices are used. 
•	 If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function was activated the high voltage battery level 
may have decreased.

If an Accident Occurs
 WARNING
•	 When a vehicle accident occurs,  
move the vehicle to a safe place, 
turn OFF the vehicle and disconnect 
the high voltage cut-off switch from 
the auxiliary battery (12V) to prevent 
high voltage electricity from flowing. 
•	 If electric wires are exposed from 
inside or outside the vehicle, do not 
touch the wires. 
Also, do not touch the high voltage  
electric wire (orange), connector, 
and all electric components and 
devices. This may cause electric 
shock and lead to injuries. 
 WARNING
•	 When a vehicle accident occurs and  
the high voltage battery is damaged, 
harmful gas and electrolytes may 
leak. Be careful not to touch the 
leaked liquid.
•	 When you suspect leakage of 
inflammable gas and other harmful 
gases, open the windows and 
evacuate to a safe place. If any 
leaked fluid comes in contact with 
your eyes or skin, immediately clean 
the affected area thoroughly with 
tap water or saline solution and 
have doctors inspect it as soon as possible.
 WARNING
•	 If a small scale fire occurs, use a fire  
extinguisher (ABC, BC) that is meant 
for electrical fires. If it is impossible 
to extinguish the fire in the early 
stage, remain a safe distance from 
the vehicle and immediately call your 
local fire emergency responders. 
Also, advise them that an electric 
vehicle is involved.
•	 If the fire spreads to the high 
voltage battery, large amount of 
water is needed to put out the fire. 
Using small amount of water or 
fire extinguishers not meant for 
electrical fires could cause serious 
injury or death from electrical 
shocks.
 WARNING
If you cannot put out the fire  
immediately, the high voltage battery 
may explode. Evacuate to a safe place 
and do not let other people approach 
the site.  
Contact the fire department and notify  
them of an electric vehicle fire.  •	 If the vehicle is flooded with water,  
immediately turn off the vehicle and 
evacuate to a safe place. Contact 
the fire department or an authorized
