DC FAST CHARGING HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 FROM 0-100% - ANALYZING MULTIPLE CHARGING SESSIONS

EV Channels Review

This video delves deep into the DC fast charging capabilities of the Hyundai IONIQ 5, focusing on its charging curve from 0-100%. The reviewer highlights that while the IONIQ 5 boasts a peak charging speed of 235 kW and can achieve 10-80% in as little as 18 minutes under ideal conditions, its charging performance is highly sensitive to battery temperature. The reviewer notes that the car lacks on-route battery preconditioning, making it challenging to achieve optimal charging speeds consistently, especially in cold weather. Despite these thermal challenges and occasional dips in charging speed, the IONIQ 5 is praised as a 'charging monster,' significantly outperforming competitors like the ID.4 and Mach-E, and even rivaling the Model Y in charging speed. The reviewer recommends charging to 80% and unplugging for road trips, emphasizing that even 'bad day' charging sessions are still very good. Key desired features for future updates include plug-in charge capability with Electrify America, on-route battery preconditioning, and an improved route planner.
