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.
