A Hyundai Ioniq 5 in South Korea has impressively surpassed 400,000 miles (approximately 666,255 kilometres) in just over three years, averaging about 378 miles (608 kilometres) per day.
Maintenance and Repairs
- Battery Replacement: At around 360,000 miles (579,363 kilometres), the vehicle’s high-voltage battery was replaced free of charge at Hyundai Motor’s Namyang R&D Centre. Notably, the original battery still retained 87% of its health at the time of replacement. InsideEVs
- Charging Component Issue: The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) malfunctioned, rendering AC charging unavailable. This component requires replacement.
- Routine Maintenance: Regular changes of differential oil and brake fluid were conducted.
Charging Habits
The owner frequently utilised DC fast chargers and often charged the battery to 100%.
Warranty Considerations
In the UK, Hyundai’s battery warranty covers up to 100,000 miles (160,934 kilometres) or 8 years, whichever comes first. Therefore, a battery replacement at 360,000 miles would typically fall outside standard warranty coverage
Conclusion
This high-mileage achievement underscores the Hyundai Ioniq 5’s durability and the potential longevity of electric vehicles when properly maintained.
