Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review, as requested:- The Hyundai Ioniq, 28-kilowatt hour, is being tested on the motorway, specifically its performance at higher speeds.
- The test speed is 110 km/h (approximately 68 mph), although it can reach 120 km/h.
- Recent tests show the Ioniq battery is good for high discharging and high charging speeds.
- It has lower heat loss due to lower internal resistance compared to other EVs.
- A comparison with Leaf showed the Leaf's battery suffers when discharged driving at high speeds.
- The Ioniq is slick and slices through the air easily.
- During the test, settings included heater on driver only in Eco mode at 20 degrees Celsius.
- At this point, consumption is 233 Wh/km and expected to stabilize.
- There was a slight headwind.
- The tester drove for almost 20 minutes (35 km) and used 20% of the battery.
- He estimates range for the Ioniq to be about 170 km or 105 miles.
- After 35 km of driving, the range calculated to 140 km.
- On the return, the test showed consumption rate decreased to 204 watt hours per kilometer.
- With 50% of the battery remaining and driving back, the estimated range was 128 km.
- Estimated range at 115 km per hour on motorway driving in cold weather is 160 km (100 miles).
- Arriving at fast charger at Nebenes, 28 km remaining. State of charge is 21%.
- As usual a math test was done. He did some quick math and its turns out, wow, you can do 140km or 87 miles in this high speed ish run.
Conclusion:
- The ionic is awesome; he's really puzzled by the results because usually there is heat loss.
- The battery, gear box, and motors are fully warmed up and still there is very good range.
- Earlier the test on the battery was flawed, but here the ionic really shines.
