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.

Disconnecting the charging connector in an emergency
If the unlock button is not functioning properly due to a discharged battery or abnormal
electrical wiring, the charging connector cannot be disconnected from the vehicle.
CAUTION Do not disconnect the charging connector forcibly. Doing so may damage the charging
connector or the charging inlet on the vehicle.

If the charging door does not open due to battery being fully discharged or a wiring
failure, open the trunk and pull the emergency cable on the trunk’s right wall.

• If the unlock button still does not operate after pulling the emergency cable, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Using an AC Charger
AC charging is the most common charging method for electric vehicles. Charge your
electric vehicle using an AC charging cable installed in public charging stations or at your
professionally installed Level 2 AC home charger.
• To find a nearby public charging station, refer to the "Searching for nearby charging stations" section in this chapter.
WARNING Before charging the vehicle, carefully read and follow the instructions in “Safety
Precautions for Charging Your Electric Vehicle” to prevent property damage or injury due
to electric shock, fire, explosion, etc.

Information • If the charging connector locking mode is set to Always or While Charging , unlock the door
by pressing the button on the smart key or the button on the driver’s door, and disconnect the
charging connector from the charging inlet.
- For more information, refer to the "Setting charging connector locking mode" section in this chapter.
• During AC charging, the quality of radio reception may degrade in some areas.

Using a DC Charger
If you need to charge the vehicle in a shorter time, you can charge at high speeds using
a DC charger installed in public charging stations.
• To find a nearby charging station, refer to the "Searching for nearby charging stations" section in this chapter.
WARNING Before charging the vehicle, carefully read and follow the instructions in “Setting
charging connector locking mode” to prevent property damage or injury due to electric
shock, fire, explosion, etc.

CAUTION Battery performance and life may deteriorate if the DC charger is used constantly. Use
AC charging unless DC charging is necessary.

6. When charging is complete, hold the charging connector handle with the unlock button pressed and pull on the charging connector to disconnect it from the charging
inlet.
• Depending on the DC charger types, some DC chargers may not have a charger connector unlock button so it may be necessary to stop at the DC charger control
panel or by charger company's app.
CAUTION Before disconnecting the charging connector, check if there is an unlock button on the
connector handle. If the connector handle is equipped with an unlock button, forcibly
disconnecting the connector without pressing the button may damage the charging
connector or charging inlet on the vehicle.

NOTICE • For more information, refer to the “Setting charging connector locking mode” section in this chapter.

7. Close the charging inlet cover.
8. Press the charging door to completely close it.
Using a Portable Charger (ICCB)
If the vehicle cannot be moved to a public charging station, you can charge the vehicle
using a separately purchased In-Cable Control Box (ICCB) in places where general power
(AC 120 V) is supplied.
WARNING Before charging the vehicle, carefully read and follow the instructions in “Setting
charging connector locking mode” to prevent property damage or injury due to electric
shock, fire, explosion, etc.

CAUTION To prevent property damage or injury due to fire or explosion, follow the instructions
below.
• Only use a genuine HYUNDAI portable charger (if equipped).
• Do not let children operate or touch the portable charger. Doing so may lead to unexpected accidents.
• Try to avoid using an extension cord, but if you must use to reach a 120 V outlet, ensure it is a medium to heavy duty grounded extension cord rated at 15 A minimum.
• The charger power you are using must comply with regulations and safely accommodate the Voltage, Current (Amps), and Power (Watts) ratings. If not, the
vehicle may not be charged or safety hazards, such as fire, may occur.
