MY HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 ARCTIC BLAST WINTER RANGE TEST! HOW FAR CAN YOU GO WITH THIS EV?

EV Channels Review

This video presents a rigorous winter range test of the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 all-wheel-drive variant during an extreme Arctic blast in Quebec, with temperatures reaching -18°C. The reviewer highlights the car's comfortable interior, with heated seats and steering wheel engaged, and its generally efficient performance in cold conditions, averaging 26.7 kWh/100km. Despite impressive initial results and the reviewer's fondness for the Ioniq 5, the vehicle ultimately failed to complete the planned round trip. The test was cut short at 242 km with 10% state of charge remaining due to rapidly dropping battery temperatures and voltage, leading to a bailout at a public charger. While disappointed by the inability to reach the destination, the reviewer emphasizes safety and acknowledges that such outcomes are part of real-world EV testing in extreme cold.
