Video Summary
Here is the summary of the electric car video:- The car, a Hyundai Ioniq classic with a 28 kilowatt hour battery, has 92,300 kilometers.
- Range and degradation tests are being performed.
- An OBD link LX is used and the CAN IONIQ app, to help with readings.
- During a test drive of almost 19 km, the app appears to be stuck and not correctly measuring distance.
- In the CAN app, the distance appears to be frozen at 3.3 kilometers; the app indicates a 97% state of charge, and all values appear frozen. The car's display shows 91%.
- Ioniq is the true efficiency king, with tail wind helping the efficiency.
- Energy consumption is very low for propulsion and electronics, and no energy is needed for climate.
- Going downhill, the Ioniq picks up speed fast. There is low friction in the drivetrain, and it has low drag.
- The car had about 8% degradation of the battery.
- The car delivers 24.8 kilowatt hours to reach a 94% charge from 4%, when the nominal charging value should be 28 kilowatt hours.
- The car has a simple air-cooled battery.
- Charging reaches about 49 kilowatt, already starting fast at the bottom range.
- The car has an active cooling.
- As the test concludes, the reviewer seems to think 8% degradation is a reasonable and good amount.
