ELECTRIC VEHICLE GUIDE
Review of Electric Vehicle
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 charged & 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.
Characteristics of Electric Vehicles
It is driven using the electrical
energy that is charged & stored
inside the high voltage battery. This
method prevents air pollution since
fuel, like gasoline, is not required,
negating the emission of exhaust
gases.
A high performance electric motor is
used in the vehicle as well. Com
-
pared to standard, internal combus
-
tion engine vehicles, engine noise
and vibrations are much more mini
-
mal when driving.
When decelerating or driving down
-
hill, regenerative braking is utilized
to charge the high voltage battery.
This minimizes energy loss and
increases the distance to empty.
When the battery charge is not suf
-
ficient, AC charge (L2-Normal), DC
charge and Trickle charge (L1-
Trickle) are available. (Refer to
"Charge Types for Electric Vehicle"
on page 1-13.)
NOTICE
What does regenerative braking do?
It uses the electric motor when
decelerating and braking and recap
-
tures & transforms kinetic to elec
-
trical energy in order to charge the
high voltage battery.
Battery Information
The vehicle is composed of a high
voltage battery that drives the
motor, air conditioner, and charges
an auxiliary battery (12 V) that
drives all other 12 V systems.
The auxiliary battery is automati
-
cally charged when the vehicle is in
the ready ( ) mode or the high
voltage battery is being charged.

vehicle to operate (12 V auxiliary
battery provides power to the
vehicle features such as lights and
wipers).
* OBC: On-Board Charger
* LDC: Low Voltage DC-DC Converter
* VCU: Vehicle Control Unit
WARNING
䳜Do not remove or disassemble
high voltage components and high
voltage battery connectors and/
or wiring (orange cabling). Also, be
careful not to damage high volt
-
age components and the high
voltage battery. It may cause
serious injury and significantly
impact the performance and
durability of the vehicle.
䳜When inspection and maintenance
is required for high voltage com
-
ponents and the high voltage bat
-
tery, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
High Voltage (HV) Battery (lithium-
ion polymer)
The HV battery powers the vehicle
and peripheral devices.
The charge amount of the HV bat
-
tery may gradually decrease when
the vehicle is not driven or charged.
The battery capacity of the HV bat
-
tery may decrease over time when
the vehicle is stored in high tem
-
peratures and temporarily in low
temperatures.
Distance to empty may vary
depending on the driving conditions
(cargo, rain, snow, wind, road sur
-
faces), even if the charge amount is
the same. The HV battery may
expend more energy when driving a
fast pace or uphill. These actions
may reduce the distance to empty.

Main Components of Electric Vehicle
The high voltage battery is used
when using the air conditioner /
heater. This may reduce the dis
-
tance to empty. Make sure to set
moderate temperatures when using
the air conditioner / heater and/or
use the pre-conditioning prior to
departures.
Natural degradation may occur with
the high voltage battery depending
on the number of years the vehicle
was used and/or the number of
charging cycles. This will reduce the
distance to empty over time.
When the charge capacity and dis
-
tance to empty keep falling, contact
an authorized Kia dealer for inspec
-
tion 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, immediately
charge to full and store the vehicle.
AC (L2-Normal) charging is recom
-
mended to keep the high voltage
battery in optimal condition.
If the HV battery is only charged to
80%, and you minimize the number
of DC fast charging, you can keep
the HV battery performance in opti
-
mal condition. (vs charging the HV
battery to 100% an/or charging
every drive cycle.)
CAUTION
䳜Make sure to use a designated
charger when charging the HV
battery. Using different types of
chargers may have a serious
impact on vehicle durability.
䳜Make sure that the HV battery
charge gauge does not reach E
(Empty). If the vehicle is kept at E
(Empty) 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.
䳜If the vehicle is in a collision, con
-
tact an authorized Kia dealer to
inspect whether the high voltage
battery is still connected.
NOTICE
The high voltage battery warmer
system operates when the charging
connector is connected to the vehi
-
cle.
However, the high voltage warmer
system may not operate when bat
-
tery temperature drops below -95
󳚛F (-35 󳚛C).

Electric Vehicle Guide Charge Types for Electric Vehicle
Warning (if equipped)
Range Warning:
If the destination set in the naviga
-
tion cannot be reached with the
remaining battery, a warning mes
-
sage is displayed.
EV Route (if equipped)
You can apply electric car-related
functions for guiding the route. It
allows you to check the distance
that you can go with the current
battery amount. Travelable and
non-travelable sections on your way
to the destination are displayed on
the screen. The search station icon
is also displayed so that you can find
nearby stations immediately.
Charge Types for Electric Vehi
-
cle
The types of charging include AC
charge (L1-Trickle or L2-Normal)
and DC charge are available.
AC Charge
We recommend using AC (L2-nor
-
mal) charging for charging of the
vehicle. You can use a AC charger at
public charging stations but charge
nozzle should always be checked for
damage, prior to connecting to vehi
-
cle. Trickle charging cable (if
equipped) in the cargo compartment
of your car, can be used, but charge
times will be long. (Refer to
"Charging Electric Vehicle (AC
Charge)" on page 1-22)
DC Charge
You can DC charge at high speeds at
public charging stations, but always
confirm the charge nozzle is not
damaged, prior to connecting to
vehicle. Refer to the respective
company䳓s manual that is provided
for each DC charger type.
Battery performance and durability
can deteriorate if the DC charger is
used constantly.
Use of DC charge should be mini
-
mized in order to help prolong high
voltage battery life.
