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.

Virtual Engine Sound System
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestrians
to hear vehicle sound because there is
no sound while the Electric Vehicle (EV)
is operating. • If the vehicle is in the ready (
)
mode and the gear is not in P (Park),
the VESS will be operated.
• When the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
CAUTION
• The vehicle is much quieter while
driving than a conventional gasoline-
powered vehicle. Be aware of your
surroundings and always drive safely.
• After you park the vehicle or while
you are waiting at a traffic light,
check whether there are children or
obstacles around the vehicle.
• Check if there is something behind
the vehicle when driving in reverse.
Pedestrians may not hear the sound
of the vehicle.
Distance to Empty
ONE1Q011049E
The distance to empty is displayed
differently according to the selected
drive mode in the Drive Mode Integrated
Control System.
For more information, refer to “Drive
Mode Integrated Control System” in
chapter 6.
When destination is not set • On average, a vehicle can drive about
199 miles (320 km) (Standard type) /
249 miles (400 km) (Extended type).
• Under certain circumstances where
the air conditioner/heater is ON,
the distance to empty is impacted,
resulting in a possible distance range
from 106 ~ 286 miles (170 ~ 460 km)
(Standard type) / 130 ~ 354 miles
(210 ~ 570 km) (Extended type).
When using the heater during cold
weather or driving at high speed, the
high voltage battery consumes a lot
more electricity. This may reduce the
distance to empty significantly.
• After ‘0 km’ has been displayed,
the vehicle can drive an additional
2~5 miles (3~8 km) depending on
driving speed, heater/air conditioner,
weather, driving style, and other
factors.

Stop vehicle and check power supply
OOSEV040511L
This warning message is displayed when
a failure occurs in the power supply
system.
In this case, park the vehicle in a safe
location and tow your vehicle to the
nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the vehicle inspected.
Check virtual engine sound system
OOSEV040512L
This message is displayed when there is
a problem with the Virtual Engine Sound
System (VESS).
In this case, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Check electric vehicle system
OOSEV040513L
This warning message is displayed when
there is a problem with the electric
vehicle control system.
Refrain from driving when the warning
message is displayed.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Seats & Safety System

Proper seated position for OCS
If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicator is on when an adult is seated
in the front passenger seat, place the
Engine Start/Stop button in the OFF
position and ask the passenger to sit
properly (sitting upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centered
on the seat cushion with their seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended and their
feet on the floor). Restart the engine and
have the person remain in that position.
This will allow the system to detect the
person and to enable the passenger air
bag. If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicator is still on, ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat.
WARNING
NEVER allow an adult passenger to ride
in the front passenger seat when the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator
is illuminated. During a collision, the
air bag will not inflate if the indicator
is illuminated. Have your passenger
reposition themselves in the seat. If the
“PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator
remains illuminated after the passenger
repositions themselves properly
and the vehicle is restarted, have
the passenger move to the rear seat
because the air bag will not inflate.
NOTICE
The “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF”
indicator generally illuminates for
approximately 4 seconds after the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
or START position. But, if the Engine
START/STOP button is pressed to the
ON or START position within 3 minutes
after the engine is turned OFF, the
indicator does not illuminate. If the
front passenger seat is occupied,
the OCS will then classify the front
passenger after several more seconds.
