The Hyundai Ioniq 5 charging power declining from 229 kW to 184 kW at 52% state of charge.
At 52%, the battery’s charging power drops from 229 kW to 184 kW.

At 52%, the battery starts tailed-back charging power from 229kW down to around 184kW—an expected efficiency drop for the sake of preserving battery life.

Thermal Management: The Impact of Battery Temperature

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 reducing charging power to 154 kW at 70% state of charge due to thermal management.
At 70% SoC, thermal management reduces charging power to 154 kW.

At around 70%, the Ioniq 5’s thermal management becomes more conservative; that is, it reduces charging power to 154kW, modulating between speed and battery health.

The Final Stretch: 10% to 80% in 18 Minutes

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 reaching 80% state of charge in 18 minutes, providing 67 kWh.
The Ioniq 5 reaches 80% in 18 minutes, providing 67 kWh.

Even with thermal limitation, the Ioniq 5 hits 80% in 18 minutes and 14 seconds, providing 67kWh— an astonishing measure of its fast-charging capability.

Overall comparison of Ioniq 5  Charging Curve

Graph comparing the 150 kW and 350 kW charging curves of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, with power on the x-axis and battery state of charge on the y-axis.
Charging Curve Comparison: 150 kW vs. 350 kW
  1. Time Difference: Charging at 350 kW was only about 3-4 minutes faster than at 150 kW.
  2. Efficiency: Both sessions stayed under the 30-minute complimentary charging window typically provided by fast-charging networks.
  3. Cost: For those using complimentary sessions, there’s minimal difference in charging time, making both options viable depending on availability.\

Charging methods to benefit from the Ioniq 5 Charging Curve

  • Level 1 Charger is standard 120V, while Level 2 Charger is standard 240V home chargers. This operation is much more gentle on the batteries and is ideal when overnight charging or if an individual doesn’t need a full charge immediately.
  • DC fast chargers, which are Level 3, are designed to quickly replenish the battery. Best for long trips or when you need to get a quick boost; however, frequent use will put additional stress on the battery over time.
  • Use quick charge for long road trips or in times when you need quick charging. Avoid continuous fast charging with daily top-ups since this may increase additional wear on batteries over time.
  • The health of your battery can be kept in the best condition by limiting fast charging applications. Repeated recharging at a fast speed will bring about faster degradation of the batteries.
  • For everyday use, maintain a charge in your battery between 20% and 80%. Charging to 100% is best kept for long journeys or special cases since it gives more stress to the batteries, thereby reducing their life.
  • You can monitor the temperature and charging rates via the Bluelynk app or the vehicle’s onboard display. For instance, when you notice your battery temperature is a little higher than usual, you may want to adjust your charging plan or park in a cooler environment.
