2022 hyundai ioniq 5 fast charging cuv exposed

The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 ultra-fast charging crossover utility vehicle was revealed yesterday, highlighting its Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP).

Ioniq 5’s 300-mile range, and 10-to-80 percent ultra-fast charging in 18 minutes showcases E-GMP technology.

Outside, the ’45’ EV concept influenced the Ioniq 5’s design, while the chassis design adds more interior space.

Ioniq 5 has the longest wheelbase in Hyundai’s U.S. product lineup at 118.1 inches.

Introducing 23 battery electric vehicles (BEV) by 2025, Hyundai expects sales of 1 million units.

“Ioniq 5 introduces the Hyundai brand to a whole new set of buyers,” said José Muñoz, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor America.

“Once behind the steering wheel, the range, power, comfort, interior space and advanced technology are shocking.”

“Owning one is going to be a new experience and lifestyle that only the Ioniq brand can provide.”

Six Ioniq 5-exclusive exterior colors, include Phantom Black Pearl, Cyber Gray Metallic, Atlas White, Digital Teal, Lucid Blue Pearl, and Shooting Star Gray Matte.

Obsidian Black Monotone, Dark Pebble Gray/Dove Gray, and Dark Teal/Dove Gray are the interior color choices.

Three drive motor arrangements exist. There’s a 77.4 kWh battery pack with to two electric motors, a single rear motor, or front and rear motors.

The all-wheel drive (AWD) dual motor combo produces 320 horsepower (74 kW front + 165 kW rear) and 446 ft-lbs of torque. With AWD, the Ioniq 5 will do 0-60 MPH in under 5 seconds.

The 2WD single rear motor makes 225 HP (168 kW) and 258 ft-lbs of torque. With a single motor, 300 miles is the targeted driving range. The AWD dual motor setup has a 269-mile targeted range, and the Limited AWD model has a 244-mile range. Top speed is 115 MPH for all Ioniqs, and they have a trailer towing capacity of 1,500 pounds.

With a 350-kW charger, Ioniq 5 can go from 10-80 percent in 18 minutes. If there’s only five minutes to recharge, the Ioniq 5 can recoup 68 miles of range using a fast charger.

Hyundai took the opportunity to announce an agreement with Electrify America to provide Hyundai Ioniq 5 drivers with two years of unlimited, 30-minute charging sessions at Electrify America charging stations.

This announcement is a continuation of an agreement to provide 250 kilowatt-hours of complimentary charging on Electrify America’s network for 2021 Kona Electric and Ioniq Electric owners.

Ioniq 5 goes on sale this fall, with undisclosed benefits for early adopters.

With a father who owned a dealership, I literally grew up in the business. After college, I worked for GM, Nissan and Mazda, writing articles for automotive enthusiast magazines as a side gig. I discovered you could make a living selling ad space at Four Wheeler magazine, before I moved on to selling TV for the National Hot Rod Association. After that, I started Roadhouse, a marketing, advertising and PR firm dedicated to the automotive, outdoor/apparel, and entertainment industries. Through the years, I continued writing, shooting, and editing. It keep things interesting.

The future of EV's is exciting to say the least. The future of the electric grid, not so much. Until I'm more confident that the grid can handle this infusion of EV's and home heat pumps, I'll stick with a gas car.

Akear The Germans will strip mine the company just like they did with Chrysler a quarter century ago.
3-On-The-Tree Theflyersfan. Agreed, I grew up as a teenager in the late 80’s, early 90’s. My dad is a baby boomer and had the classic cars. He had a 1957 Corvette with a 283 with 2-4 barrel carbs, 68 Plymouth Belvedere with 383 V8. I had a 1973 Duster with a slant six, really wanted a 340 V8 in it. And a 74 Dodge dart custom with a 318 and last was a 1969 T- Bird with a 429. I got commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant and sold all those cars. Fast forward 22 years post army retirement and I bought that Vette and had bought a 1985 FJ60 Land Cruisers. In addition to a 2002 Suzuki Hayabusa, 1989 Suzuki GS1000G, 1986 Suzuki GT750. So my boys appreciate the older cars and bikes, simplicity of V8’s, naturally aspirated non turbos. I also bought a 1970 7up vending machine and it’s still running with original compressor/condenser. So my boys appreciate the quality of American manufacturing both in cars and commercial items.
FreedMike An EV DeLorean definitely won't have any problems getting up to 88 and a half miles per hour. And that's a good thing - the original was a complete dog, and that was a big reason why they didn't sell.
ToolGuy The interesting thing about Foley's rental Bronco is how it has been retrofitted with 4-wheel steering with tiller fire truck levels of rear steering angle -- that or the world's slowest smoothest drift. (For clues to what is actually going on, notice the ride height relative to surrounding traffic, suspension movements and steering inputs with the 'in-car' shots of the daughter's convertible.) Does anyone watch anything anymore, or you all buried in your phones lol.
Duties Just a comment on auto names vs alpha-numerics. I totally agree names are sexier and more memorable than meaningless letters and numbers. However, coming up with fresh names based on animals or geography is harder to come by since so many are already taken. Secondly, securing worldwide copyright is difficult or don’t translate well. Remember the famous Chevy Nova (No Go). In the meantime, it’s fun to reminisce about the great names over the years: Thunderbird, Barracuda, Sting Ray, Mustang, Legend, Vigor, Integra, Toronado, New Yorker, Continental, Newport, Land Cruiser, Galaxie, Impala, Comet, LeBaron . . .
