Korean drove 660 thousand km on Hyundai Ioniq 5: That’s what broke

On social networks, the posts of the winner of the electric car of 2021 of the release, which managed to wind incredible 666,255 kilometers, were enclosed. What kind of modification has withstand such a serious load is not specified, but there is a list of works that had to be done. The main malfunction is the refusal of the original traction battery on a mileage of 580 thousand kilometers.

The owner of the electric car regularly changed the brake fluid and oil in the differential, but otherwise no additional regulatory work was required. However, the failures happened: the original battery failed with a mileage of 580 thousand kilometers, preserving 87 percent of the capacity, the control unit (ICCU) also broke. Once Hyundai Ioniq 5 moved to emergency mode.

The ICCU refusal means that it is impossible to charge a car from alternating current sources, and this is the smaller of the evils – on some Hyundai/Kia electric cars, a similar defect completely disabled the machine. It is curious that the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 battery received free of charge, although the warranty is only 160 thousand kilometers. Perhaps the car manufacturer decided to study the battery, perhaps we are talking about a marketing action.

If the story is true, then the reliability of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is quite worthy, only the demand for the model remains at a low level, and the conveyors have to be stopped. The statistics are such that the average driver does not go so much: for example, Americans pass only 22 thousand kilometers a year.
