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.

Charging current
ONE1Q011030L
•	 You can adjust the charging  
current for an AC charger. Select an 
appropriate charging current.
•	 If the charging process does not 
start or abruptly stops in the middle, 
reselect another proper current and 
re-try charging the vehicle.
•	 Charging time varies depending on 
which charging current is selected. Winter ModeONE1Q011031L
You can select or deselect the Winter  mode. 
The Winter mode is efficient during  
the winter time when the high voltage 
battery temperature is low. 
This mode is recommended to improve  
driving and DC charging performances 
during winter by raising the battery 
temperature to an adequate level. 
However, the driving distance may be  
reduced as the energy is required to 
increase battery temperature. 
Also, if the battery temperature is low  during driving or when scheduled air 
conditioner/heater is activated, this 
mode is operated to improve driving 
performance.  
However, the mode is not operated to  
ensure driving distance when the battery 
level is low.
 Information
This mode is available for the vehicles  
equipped with the battery heater.

•	 ‘Always lock’ mode : 
The connector locks when the  
charging connector is plugged into 
the charging inlet. The connector is 
locked until all doors are unlocked by 
the driver. This mode can be used to 
prevent charging cable theft.
 - If the charging connector is  unlocked when all doors are 
unlocked, but the charging cable 
is not disconnected within 15 sec- 
onds, the connector will be auto- 
matically locked again.
 - If the charging connector is  unlocked when all doors are 
unlocked, but all doors are locked 
again, immediately, the connector 
will be automatically locked again.
•	 ‘Lock while charging’ mode : 
The connector locks when charg- ing  
starts. The connector unlocks when 
charging is complete. This mode can 
be used when charging in a public 
charging station.
•	 ‘Do not lock’ mode : 
The connector unlocks regardless of  
the state of charging.  
Press the charging connector release  
button, disconnect the connector.  
Be careful to theft of the charging  cable.

How to Connect AC Charger 
1.  Depress the brake pedal and apply the 
parking brake. 
2.  Turn OFF all switches, shift to P (Park),  and turn OFF the vehicle.  
If charging is initiated without the  
gear in P (Park), the charging will start 
after the gear is automatically shifted 
to P (Park).

3.  Open the charging door. 
For more details, refer to ‘Electric  
charging door’ in this chapter.
 Information
If you cannot open the charging door due  
to freezing weather, tap lightly or remove 
any ice near the charging door. Do not try 
to forcibly open the charging door.  4. 
Check if there is dust on the charging 
connector and charging inlet. 
5.  Hold the charging connector handle  and connect it to the vehicle charging 
inlet. Push the connector all the way 
in. If the charging connector and 
charging terminal are not connected 
properly, this may cause a fire. 
 Information
Locking Charging Cable 
Select ‘Settings → ECO Vehicle →

the infotainment. The charging connector 
is locked in the inlet at a different period according to which mode is selected. •	 Always mode : The connector locks  
when the charging connector is plugged into the charging inlet.
•	 While charging mode : The connector locks when charging starts.

9.  Check if the charging indicator light  (
) of the high voltage battery in 
the instrument cluster is turned ON.  
Charging is not active when the 
charging indicator light (
) is OFF.
When the charging connector is not  
connected properly, reconnect the 
charging cable to charge it again. 
 Information
Even though charging is possible with  
the Start/Stop button in the ON/START 
position, for you safety, start charging when the Start/Stop button is in the 
OFF position and the vehicle shifted to P 
(Park). After charging has started, you can use electrical components such as the 
radio by pressing the Start/Stop button to 
the START or ON position. 
During charging, the gear cannot be  
shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.

•	
Distance to empty that is displayed  
on the instrument cluster after 
completing a recharge may vary 
significantly depending on previous 
operating patterns.  
When previous driving patterns  
include high speed driving, resulting 
in the high voltage battery using more 
electricity than usual, the estimated 
distance to empty is reduced. When 
the high voltage battery uses little 
electricity in ECO mode, the estimated 
distance to empty increases.
•	   Distance to empty may depend on 
many factors such as the charge 
amount of the high voltage battery, 
weather, temperature, durability of 
the battery, geographical features, 
and driving style.
•	 Natural degradation may occur with 
the high voltage battery depending 
on the number of years the vehicle is 
used. This may reduce the distance to 
empty.
When destination is set 
When the destination is set, the distance  
to empty may change. The distance 
to empty is recalculated using the 
information of the destination. However, 
the distance to empty may vary 
significantly based on traffic conditions, 
driving habits, and condition of the 
vehicle. 
Tips for Improving Distance to  
Empty
•	 If you operate the air conditioner / 
heater too much, the driving battery 
uses too much electricity. This 
may reduce the distance to empty. 
Therefore, it is recommended that 
you set the cabin temperature to 
22°C AUTO. This setting that has 
been certified by various assessment 
tests to maintain optimal energy 
consumption rates while keeping the 
temperature fresh. 
Turn OFF the heater and air  
conditioner if you do not need them. 
•	 When the heater or air conditioning 
system is on the energy consumption 
is reduced if recirculation mode is 
selected instead of selecting the fresh 
mode. The fresh mode requires large 
amount of energy consumption as 
the outside air has to be re-heated or cooled. 
•	 When using the heater or air 
conditioning system use the DRIVER 
ONLY or scheduled air conditioner/ 
heater function. 
•	 Depress and hold the accelerator 
pedal to maintain speed and drive 
economically. 
•	 Gradually depress and release the 
accelerator pedal when accelerating 
or decelerating. 
•	 Always maintain specified tire 
pressures. 
•	 Do not use unnecessary electrical 
components while driving. 
•	 Do not load unnecessary items in the 
vehicle. 
•	 Do not mount parts that may increase 
air resistance.
