I seem to be losing range while the car is sitting outside at work. The car was parked for 10 hours in -8c weather and lost 16 km of range. I think it is normal but am not sure.
Thank you for sharing the real world performance of your EV. I will be going from driving a Honda Odyssey into a 2018 EV. Your videos really are inspiring. i am also located in southern Ont.
I am glad to see that the distance the car claims it can drive is so accurate when you get in. It does appear to be a good idea to not park the car low on power when it's cold expecting to make it to a fast charger after work though, as that might end in trouble Thanks for sharing this info :)
Great video. Does your employer have a plug in the parking lot that you could use. I was under the impression that every parking spot in Eastern Canada (everything east of BC) had outlets so all the cowboys could plug in their block heaters :).
Takes for info, so much better than my 4 year old leaf which gets 75 kilometers at -15 c , I waiting on the new battery which is 46 kilowatt battery to get mine, here in Canada we have at least 3 months of winter. New I would get 80 km so it stiĺl has 95 capacity after 80 000 km.love my leaf in summer but a little short in winter.
Excellent video. How well does the window defrosting work when front window is icing. Have you had any experience with this? Having trouble deciding whether to buy a Hyundai plug-in hybrid or a BEV for our climate. In the plug-in version, motor comes on if heater used.
The heater for the cabin should not kick in while parking unless you programmed it to do so. If this would happen automatically, you would lose heaps of range and potentially could not make it to your next destination any more. It would be unpredictable how much km you still have left after a cold day. And the same with the battery heater, as per manual it only operates while the car is plugged in to an external charger to maximise charging speed and performance. Only the battery cooling will operate while driving in summertime and the battery reaching temperatures above ~30°C (temp is unconfirmed though). A 16km loss while parking is still a lot though... And there is nothing to worry about having less range in winter. Every ICE car has the same/similar problem in Winter: less performance, less range and increased consumption. Just like a human or animal... ;)
unplugged EV I know it will not heat the car when not plugged in. I was thinking that with the cold climate package it might be heating the battery a little. I have not seen anything in the manual on how the battery temperature management system works. I am just trying to figure this out.
It's apparently on page H6 of the manual: www.ioniqforum.com/forum/258-hyundai-ioniq-features-equipment/1994-ioniq-electric-battery.html and www.ioniqforum.com/forum/234-hyundai-ioniq-electric-ev/8874-management-battery-temperature-4.html Very interesting stuff...
Actually the heater in this car with heat pump it's really efficient all ioniq need bigger battery like 60kwh comparing your car to my bolt the heater in your car at least 50% more efficient
Don't look at the GOM (kilometer left), look at SOC %. The batteryheater could have been on. But if you had the old Leaf (as I have) it wouldn't be. I believe the battery (not air-temp) has to get down to -20C for the heater to kick in. Not sure on the Ioniq. I guess you CAN loose 10% when changing to wintertyres. All depend on tyres, actually you can loose 10% the other way if you choose the wrong tyres. In my testing, there is now difference in consumption between the two. But there is however a huge difference in driving in cold weather vs hot weather. Don't remember exactly, but I believe I saw something like 20-30% increased consumption in -10C vs +10C, when NOT using the heater! The reason is cold air is more dense = higher windresistance. I believe that's where the myth comes from.
