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 deceler-
ating 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
• 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 mainte-
nance is required for high
voltage components and the
high voltage battery, we recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
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).
• 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 polymer) : 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).
❈ OBC : On-Board Charger
❈ LDC : Low Voltage DC-DC Converter
H5
High Voltage Battery
(lithium-ion polymer)
• The charge amount of the high
voltage battery may gradually
decrease when the vehicle is not
driving.
• 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, 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.
• 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 the charge capacity and distance to empty keep falling, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
inspection and maintenance.
• If the vehicle will not be in use for
an extended period of time, charge
the high voltage battery once every
three months to prevent it from discharging. Also, if the charge
amount is not enough, immediately
charge to full and store the vehicle.
• AC charge is recommended to
keep the high voltage battery in
optimal condition.
If the high voltage battery charge
amount is below 20%, you can
keep the high voltage battery performance in optimal condition if
you charge the high voltage battery
to 100%. (Once a month or more is
recommended.)
H6
High Voltage Battery Warmer
System
The high voltage battery warmer
system prevents reduction of battery
output when battery temperature is
low. If the charging connector is connected, the warmer system automatically operate according to the battery temperature.
Charging time may shorten compare
to vehicles without the high voltage
battery warmer system. But, electricity charge may increase because of
high voltage battery warmer system
operation.
• Make sure to use a designated
charger when charging the
high voltage battery. Using different types of chargers may
have a serious impact on vehicle durability.
• Make sure that the high volt-
age battery charger gauge
does not reach ''L (Low) or 0".
If the vehicle is kept at ''L (Low)
or 0" for a long period, it may
damage the high voltage battery and the high voltage battery may have to be replaced
depending on the level of
degradation.
• If the vehicle is in a collision,
we recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer to inspect whether the
high voltage battery is still
connected.
CAUTION
The high voltage battery warmer
system operates when the charging connector is connected to
the vehicle.
However, the high voltage
warmer system may not operate
when battery temperature drops
below -35°C (-31°F).

Charging Precautions
Actual charger image and charging method may vary in accordance with the charger manufacturer.
• Electromagnetic waves that
are generated from the charger can seriously impact medical electric devices such as
an implantable cardiac pacemaker.
When using medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker, make sure
to ask the medical team and
manufacturer whether charging your electric vehicle will
impact the operation of the
medical electric devices such
as an implantable cardiac
pacemaker.
• Check to make sure there is
no water or dust on the charging cable connector and plug
before connecting to the
charger and charging inlet.
Connecting while there is
water or dust on the charging
cable connector and plug may
cause a fire or electric shock.
WARNING
• Be careful not to touch the
charging connector, charging
plug, and the charging inlet
when connecting the cable to
the charger and the charging
inlet on the vehicle.
