Understanding Your Electric Vehicle
Electric vehicles are driven using a battery and an electric motor. Understand the
characteristics of your electric vehicle and check the features that you must know before
driving it.
Characteristics of Your Electric Vehicle
The characteristics that differentiate electric vehicles from gasoline vehicles are as
follows:
• Electric vehicles are eco-friendly because they do not use fossil fuels for driving. Additionally, unlike gasoline vehicles, noise and vibration are minimal, and the
vehicle’s lifespan is relatively long.
• When slowing down or driving downhill, regenerative braking is used. Regenerative braking charges the high voltage battery and minimizes energy loss.
• If the high voltage battery is running low, you can charge the vehicle using the AC charger, DC charger, or portable charging cables. For more information, refer to the
"Charging Your Electric Vehicle" section in this chapter.
Information Regenerative braking uses an electric motor when decelerating and braking, and it transforms
kinetic energy to electrical energy in order to charge the high voltage battery.
Battery information
The batteries used in the electric vehicle are as follows:
•High voltage battery (high capacity) : Drives the motor and operates the air
conditioner and heater. It can be charged via an AC charger, DC charger, or portable
charger.
• 12 V battery : Operates all lights, wipers, and audio system. The 12 V battery charge can
also be maintained by the high voltage battery at parked condition at certain
conditions.
Main components of your electric vehicle
The main components of your electric vehicle and their functions are as follows:
• On-Board Charger (OBC) : Charges the high voltage battery by converting the power
grid’s AC power to DC power.
• Inverter : Converts power from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) and
supplies power to the motor, and converts power from AC to DC to charge the high
voltage battery during deceleration and braking.
• Low Voltage DC-DC Converter (LDC) : Converts the high voltage battery’s power
source to a low voltage (12 V) power source for supply of power to the electrical devices
on the vehicle.

Information Be aware of the followings when using battery conditioning mode.
• The driving distance may be reduced as energy is required to increase the battery temperature.
• If the battery temperature is low during driving or when the scheduled air conditioner/heater is activated, the battery conditioning mode is operated to improve driving performance. To ensure
driving distance the battery conditioning mode will not be operated when the battery level is too
low.
• If you set the DC charging station as your destination while using the battery conditioning mode, the battery temperature is optimized for charging and you can shorten the charging time after
you arrive and start charging.
• Battery conditioning mode is available for vehicles equipped with the battery heater.
Setting Utility Mode
Utility mode allows the high voltage battery to be used instead of the 12 V auxiliary
battery for purposes other than driving. You can use the audio and lights of the vehicle
without discharging the 12 V auxiliary battery and even use the indoor V2L feature.
Information • You cannot drive the vehicle while the utility mode is activated, and the gear can only be shifted to P (Park).
• You can use every electric device in the vehicle while the utility mode is activated.
• When the utility mode is activated, the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is applied automatically.
Follow the instructions below to set the utility mode.
1. Check the operation conditions of the utility mode. • The (ready indicator) is displayed on the instrument cluster.
• The gear is shifted to P (Park).
2. On the infotainment system, swipe the Home screen to the left to display the All menus screen.
3. On the All menus screen, select EV > (EV Settings) > Utility mode and select Activate
Utility mode to activate the function (Utility Mode: ON).
