Excellent video. Using the "Tell'em what you're gonna tell 'em" style intro, you get the viewers mind in gear for what's about to happen. Then you show the steps. I can imagine that in colder climates like yours and when charging away from home, having the heating on will be VERY useful.
How do I go back to the original setting screen just like you have where it shows battery and gas percentage? On the right side where it says remaining time
great video, thanks. I'm trying to learn how my 2018 Ioniq 28 Premium uses the heat pump and the resistor heater together during cold starts, do you know if they both use the high voltage battery or does one of them use the 12 volt battery? As far as I know it uses both heaters in the beginning and when the heat pump is warmed up it uses only the heat pump.
From what I know about the car, anything above -10c it will use the heat pump, below that it uses a PTC heater, a type of electric heater. It does not use both at the same time. Only the high voltage battery is used.
I hope you can help me with this: I recently took possession of my 2018 Ioniq EV and I’m loving it! The consumption at 20C is insane, I’m averaging 10.6 km per kWh :) anyhow, my question deals with winter driving. I’m in Ottawa and travel to Montreal regularly (190km). There is a DC fast charger 120km away from Ottawa and I’m wondering if I can get to the fast charger traveling at highway speeds (100km/hr) when our temperatures are -15c to -20c. Any input is much appreciated!
I'm in Ottawa as well and have just clinched a deal on an Ioniq electric. Plans are not to use it for long journeys (like you) but I'm wondering how the -20's affects the range you have seen so far? Is that charger (120 Kms from here) the closest one? (for highways) Tks
Did you purchase the Cold Climate Package? If so does the car have to plugged in for this to maintain the battery temperature in ambient temperatures below -15 Deg. C.?
Yes I did get the cold climate package. I am not sure how the temperature management for the battery works yet. I have been trying to find info on that but I would assume that it does need to be plugged in.
I believe it uses a water block, heater element, and circulating pump, heating winter cooling summer, system similar to the Tesla battery temperature management system.
Yes, we still have the car. It is a really good car and am not planning on getting rid of it. As a mater of fact we are looking to buy another car and I am hoping it will be another EV.
@@ehoek thanks for the quick reply..that's good to know. The leaf is 4-5 grand cheaper but I think the ioniq would make more sense. Added range better battery management. Anyways thanks again. God Bess
No. The car needs to be on in order to heat while charging. The car will not allow you to lock it with the car on and the key fob out of the car. You can try, but I don't think it will work.
Can you preheat the car and that preheat energy comes from the charging and not battery, leaving you with a warm car and 100% charged battery in the morning? OR does it pull the energy from the fully charged battery? My i3 does this and I love that feature, our Nissan Leafs don't do that they deplete the battery to heat the car.
Are you sure this is good? The heater works off the 12V battery. When you're charging the traction battery, does it replenish the 12V battery? If not, then you may not be able to start if you leave the heater on too long. Have you tried testing your technique while leaving the heater work for a very long time? Say an hour?
The heater works off of the traction battery, not the 12v battery. Charged and heated this way for over an hour many times, never a problem. And yes, the 12v battery is being maintained while charging.
I see that your Ioniq starts it's day at +4* C in the garage. I live further north in an appartment where it has gone down to -32* C outside. I understand negative temperatures will negatively affect the efficiency of the power delivery therefore the range. Are you willing to show us a range test at a really low temperature like -15 to -20 in your region by starting with an 80% charge but leaving it outside all night? Hyundai Canada simply will not give use the true data on this issue I'm guessing because of the possible negative effect on they're marketing pitch.
ioniq has too small range to be parked and driven in climates like that. I would look at cars with rated range of 400km. At -20C parked outside you'll have half range in the morning( 2/3 at best ). Remember that battery keeps heating it self up to avoid damage. It can be parked outside but it should be plugged to 240v outlet.
I have parked my car outside for 10 hours many times at -20c. Yes, you will lose some range just being parked. I have never lost more than 10 Km while being parked.
@@ehoek and what do you usually have your Heater control set to Because I’m interested in buying one and I’m trying not to lose battery range as much but I don’t wanna sacrifice not using my climate
@@Kimbrough87 I have it set on auto at 22c. The car is preheated using house power and is at temp when I leave. Note that every time you let the cabin cool down you will take a bit on range. When it is really cold outside I can lose 15 km or so. For me I don't care. In the winter I charge it every night and my commute daily is 60km. I never worry about range. Also, the newer Ioniq has a larger battery and more range than mine.
Pre heating isn't really as big of a deal as you might think. My Ioniq is making really good heat 30 seconds after I start it.. Its not like an ICE car that takes 15 minutes before you get any heat.
