Checking Basic Information on Charging Your Electric Vehicle

Before charging your vehicle, check and understand the information such as the expected charging time according to the charge type, checking the State of Charge (SOC), and setting the charger lock mode.

Checking charging type and charging time

The charge types for electric vehicle are as follows:

AC charge: The electric vehicle is charged via a Level 2 AC public charger or professionally installed home charger.
DC charge: You can charge at high speeds at public charging stations. Refer to the respective company’s charger app or online information that is provided for each DC charger type.
Portable charge: If the vehicle cannot be moved to a public charging station due to a lack of battery power, the vehicle can be charged with household electricity, using the 120 V ICCB portable charger included with the vehicle.

Type 3R enclosure satisfies the requirements of UL 50E standard when the charging connector is connected to the vehicle side charging inlet. An additional Type 3R enclosure should be provided in the end installation of the vehicle side charging inlet. The "Type 3R" marking can be found on the charging inlet.

What is type 3R?: Performance requirement for enclosures intended for outdoor use that provides a degree of protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, and/or snow.

Risk of electric shock. Do not disconnect under load.
Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5,000 rms symmetrical Amperes, 120 V AC Maximum.
Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 30,000 rms symmetrical Amperes, 1,000 V DC Maximum.

Battery performance and life may deteriorate if the DC charger is used constantly. It is best to occasionally use AC charger to optimize battery life.
The electrical outlet at home must comply with regulations and can safely accommodate the Voltage, Current (Amps), and Power (Watts) ratings specified on the portable charger. If not, the vehicle may not be charged or safety hazards, such as fire, may occur.
If the power distributor exceeds its capacity while charging the vehicle with a portable charger at home, the power to home may be cut off or a fire may occur.
If you use a portable charger to charge your electric vehicle with household electricity, you will be charged on your household electricity bill.

The estimated charging time for each charging type is as follows:

Charging Type		Charging Time		Charge Level (Minimum-Maximum)	Charging Condition (Temperature)
Charging Type		Standard Battery Type	Extended Battery Type	Charge Level (Minimum-Maximum)	Charging Condition (Temperature)
AC charge		About 5 hours 20 minutes	About 7 hours 10 minutes	10-100 %	Room temperature(77 °F)
DC charge	350 kW	About 18 minutes	About 18 minutes	10-80 %
DC charge	50 kW	About 58 minutes	About 66 minutes	10-80 %
Portable charge (ICCB: In-Cable Control Box)		About 46 hours 40 minutes	About 68 hours	10-100 %

The DC charging time may be longer at cold temperature below 20 ℉ (-17 ℃).
Depending on the condition and durability of the high voltage battery, charger specifications, and ambient temperature, the time required for charging the high voltage battery may vary.
If the charger is worn out, exposed, or there exists any type of damage, charging may stop for your safety. Use another charger that works normally.
When charging the battery, an additional 3 minutes may be required to check battery condition.

Checking the charging status

Check the State of Charge (SOC) of the high voltage battery via the charge indicator light inside the charging door.

With the vehicle door unlocked, press the open indicator on the charging door to open the charging door.
Check the SOC referring to the charge indicator light inside the charging door.
- SOC is indicated in 4 levels.

Charge indicator light	SOC [%]
	0-24 %
	25-49 %
	50-74 %
	75-100 %

Checking information on the charging label

Open the charging door and check the information on the charging label on the right side of the charging connector. The charging label shows safety symbols and the rated input specifications for charging.

No.	Name	Description
(1)	Warning for high voltage	Indicates a device with a risk of electric shock.
(2)	Warning/Caution symbol	Indicates a device that may cause property damage, serious injury or death if not operated carefully.
(3)	Rated voltage and maximum charging current	Indicates the type of input current (~, AC) and the rated voltage range (V) and charging current (A) when AC charging.

When the electric charging door closes automatically

The electric charging door closes automatically after certain time in the following conditions. Check the operation conditions and reset the charging door if it does not open under normal use conditions.

When the charging connector is disconnected.
When the charging door is opened and charging has not started.
When the gear is shifted to D (Drive), N (Neutral), or R (Reverse).

Resetting the electric charging door

If the electric charging door malfunctions or if the 12 V battery has been replaced, reset the charging door by turning the vehicle on and off once.

If the charging door malfunctions continuously after resetting the charging door, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Setting charging connector locking mode

You can lock the charging connector during AC charging to prevent unintended detachment of the charging connector from the vehicle.

The connector is automatically locked during DC charging or while using the V2L function, regardless of the settings of charging connector locking mode applied to the vehicle.

When DC charging is complete, the charging connector will be unlocked automatically.
After using electricity, you can unlock the charging connector by pressing the switch on the V2L connector to turn off the power and unlock the vehicle door.

On the infotainment system, select EV > (EV Setting) > Charging Connector Locking Mode to set the locking mode of the charging connector.

The available locking mode options are as follows:

Always: Locks the connector automatically whenever the charging connector is plugged into the charging inlet.
While Charging: Locks the connector automatically only while charging is in progress after the charging connector is properly connected to the vehicle. This is the preferred setting when using public stations to allow for other customers to use charger after your vehicle is done charging.
Do Not Lock: Unlocks the connector regardless of the charging state. Be careful of portable charging cable theft.

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.

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.
