What Is the Hyundai Ioniq 5 Charging Calculator?
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 Charging Calculator is a tool designed to estimate charging times and costs based on battery capacity, charging power, current charge level, and environmental conditions. Since the Hyundai Ioniq 5 supports fast charging and offers multiple battery sizes, this calculator helps owners efficiently plan their charging sessions.
By using this calculator, Ioniq 5 drivers can reduce charging costs, plan trips effectively, and extend battery lifespan by adopting best charging practices.
How to Use the Hyundai Ioniq 5 Charging Calculator
To determine your estimated charging time and cost, enter the following details:
1. Battery Capacity (kWh)
- Select your Hyundai Ioniq 5 battery variant:
- Standard Range: 58 kWh
- Long Range: 72.6 kWh
- North American Standard Long Rang: 77.4 kWh
- The larger the battery, the longer the charging time but also the greater the driving range.
2. Current Charge Level (%)
- Enter the battery’s current charge percentage.
- Example: If the charge level is 20%, enter 20.
3. Desired Charge Level (%)
- Enter the target charge level.
- Example: If charging from 20% to 80%, enter 80.
4. Charging Power (kW)
- Enter the charger power output:
- Level 1 Charger (120V home outlet): 1.5-3 kW
- Level 2 Charger (240V home charger): 7-11 kW
- DC Fast Charger: 50-350 kW
- The Hyundai Ioniq 5 can accept up to 350 kW DC fast charging, allowing for ultra-fast charging when available.
5. Temperature Condition
- Choose from Normal, Cold, or Hot.
- Cold weather slows down charging and can reduce battery efficiency.
Additional Optional Settings
6. Battery Health (%)
- 100% represents a new battery.
- Over time, battery degradation may slightly reduce charging efficiency.
7. Electricity Cost ($/kWh)
- Enter your electricity rate per kWh.
- Helps estimate the total charging cost.
8. Time-of-Use Rate ($/kWh)
- If your utility provider offers off-peak electricity rates, enter the lower cost.
- Charging during off-peak hours can significantly lower costs.
9. Battery Preconditioning
- If enabled, preconditioning warms up the battery before charging, improving efficiency in cold weather.
Once all values are entered, click Calculate to get your estimated charging time and cost.
How Charging Time Is Calculated
The calculator estimates charging time using the following formula:
Charging Time Formula:
\[ \text{Charging Time} = \frac{\text{Battery Capacity} \times (\text{Desired Charge Level} – \text{Current Charge Level})}{\text{Charging Power} \times \text{Charging Efficiency}} \]Where:
- Battery Capacity = 58 kWh (Standard), 72.6 kWh (Long Range) or 77.4 kWh (North American Standard Long Rang)
- Desired and Current Charge Levels = Expressed as percentages
- Charging Power = Charger output in kW
- Charging Efficiency = Estimated power loss (~90%-95%)
Example Calculation:
- Battery Capacity: 72.6 kWh (Long Range model)
- Current Charge Level: 10%
- Desired Charge Level: 80%
- Charging Power: 50 kW (DC Fast Charger)
- Charging Efficiency: 90%
Thus, it would take approximately 1 hour and 8 minutes to charge a Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range from 10% to 80% using a 50 kW DC fast charger.
Why Use the Hyundai Ioniq 5 Charging Calculator?
