Hyundai Ioniq 5 Notes Limited Charging Power After A Cold Night

In one of the latest episodes, Out of Spec Reviews' Kyle Conner checks the fast-charging performance of a brand new Hyundai Ioniq 5 in cold weather conditions.

We know that most electric cars note a significant drop in the charging power when the battery is cold (this is also why the regenerative braking is limited). The root cause for this is the typical limitations of lithium-ion batteries (not all chemistries, but usually the energy-dense ones, used in EVs).

An active solution for that would be a battery thermal pre-conditioning, which is available in many models, but not yet in the Hyundai Ioniq 5, according to the video. It's expected that Hyundai will add such a feature through an over-the-air software update.
