REVIEW OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Review of Electric Vehicle Characteristics of Electric

Vehicles

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 stored 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.

1. It is driven using the electrical energy that is stored 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, normal charge, quick charge and trickle charge are available. (Refer to “Charge Types for Electric Vehicle” for details.)

Note

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.)

REVIEW OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE

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

WARNING - Repair of

high voltage components

The high voltage battery in your system in very dangerous and can cause severe burns and electric shock. Never inspect, remove or disassemble any of the high voltage components in your vehicle. Kia recommends that all inspections and repairs be performed by an authorized and trained Kia dealer.

High Voltage Battery (lithium-ion polymer)

• 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.

OPSE0Q44001

• 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 quick speed or uphill.These actions may reduce the distance to empty.

• When the charge capacity and distance to empty keep falling, we recommend that you contact an authorized Kia 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 to store the vehicle for an extended period of time, immediately charge to enough state of charge and store the vehicle.

MAIN COMPONENTS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE

High V oltage Battery Warmer System

• Normal 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.)

• If the vehicle is in a collision, we

recommend that you contact an authorized Kia dealer to inspect whether the high voltage battery is still connected.

CAUTION - Damaging

high voltage battery

• 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 voltage battery charger gauge does not reach SOC 0% on cluster gauge. If the vehicle is kept at SOC 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.

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.

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 -31°F (-35°C)
