You should redo this test at the Electrify Canada chargers. I was able to get over 130 kW on my Ioniq 5 in similar conditions from a 150 kW charger. People report much lower than expected charge rates for Ioniqs at Petro Can chargers irrespective of temp and starting state of charge.
I've seen elsewhere that, stopping the charge session and then restarting it at a battery temp of 20* will immediately jump the rate to 150 to 175kw. A bit of a work around until an OTR update happens.
A '150 kw' unit is rated to send 150 amps to a 1000 volt battery. That number varies depending on the manufacturer. Look at the name plate on the unit. So if the unit can deliver 150 amps to the ioniq's battery at 700 volt that is 105 kW gross energy. At 650volts which is a low SOC for the ioniq that is about 98 kW (227 kW on a 350 kW unit) . At 800 the max would be 56 kW. The power cabinets which dispense the DC voltage to the unit must also be able to provide the power. Two 200 amp units will be able to provide maximum power to a 350 kW unit. Then the power provided by a 350 kW would give a faster charge for a battery in ideal condition. The car determines the amperage it will take.
Excellent overview guys. The lack of a rear screen wiper is a mistake by Hyundai, I hope they fix it quickly. In a six month winter climate, cleaning the rear window is a constant task and having no wiper is a bummer.
To be honest, I get why car companies want to impress people with "smart" features, but it makes a lot more sense to just give me a button to heat the battery. What if I don't want to use their navigation system, what if the nav system is wrong, I know where I am so just give me a button to preheat the battery when I want.
what I wonder is if the car is plugged in on 120 volt or 240 volts outside and not charging and it very cold like - 20 deg Cel. is the BMS going to maintain the battery at above freezing temp. ?
Awesome review for us Canadians living in colder climates. My only question that you might address in other videos is: what is the range hit in cold temps? How many KM can we expect when it's say...-25?
Thanks for this video. It was very informative. I live in Saskatoon and I'm told by the Hyundai dealer that they are at least 4 years from being able to order an Ionic 5. Do you know if there are cars available in other provinces?
We are not 100% sure about other provinces but it sounds like everyone looking for an Ioniq 5 is facing long wait times. It is a vehicle lots of people want.
Do you have a link to the Hyundai announcement about battery preconditioning being given to 2022 models through an update? Did the announcement indicate the update would be given to all countries?
Here is the link to the article. It is from Hyundai UK. www1.hyundai.news/uk/model-news/battery-enhancements-and-specification-changes-for-hyundai-ioniq-5/ The reporting from Insideevs indicated the announcement is specific to Europe. But I don't see why it wouldn't come to NA. insideevs.com/news/566583/europe-2023-hyundai-ioniq5-enhancements/
I think all EV designers should have to live in Edmonton from October to April before they can start designing! It would give them a clearer picture of what they need to do to help boost EV adoption globally.
It from the UK site, but I don't see why the update wouldn't come to NA www1.hyundai.news/uk/model-news/battery-enhancements-and-specification-changes-for-hyundai-ioniq-5/
So in order to do the passive battery heating do you suggest that we keep the interior temperature a little warmer (more than 20 degrees) and drive a little faster (more than 100 kmph)? Please suggest.
As long as you are sure you have more than enough range, using more power will produce more passive heating. The higher your consumption, the warmer the battery would become. But don't over do it and run out of juice before getting to the charger.
