Thanks Matt for another excellent video. This all helps to educate and counter the anti-EV nonsense out there about batteries. Our 2019 e-Niro (64 kWh useable) is now at 95,000 km here in France and I asked for a battery health check at the 90K service. All 294 cells are reaching their V-nominal but of course that is not the V-max of the cells, the difference between the voltage levels being the 3.5 kWh buffer. I posted a video on my channel back in the summer where I try to make the point that 'battery degradation' and 'range loss' are not the same thing. At nearly 5 years old there must have been some battery degradation on the e-Niro but I have seen no perceptible loss of range, which is all that matters to the owner.
Really? Do a test on a 7 to say 12 year old car and lets see. PS. Its the same battery in your phone (Lithium) and we all know how that goes after 7/10 years. Pretty sure you wouldn't buy a 9+ year old car - certain actually... Plenty of horror stories on out of warranty (10 yrs) electric cars
Hyundai is kinda cheating in stating a SOH of 100% and no apparent loss of range. But the truth is that they quietly move capacity from the buffer to the usable capacity to compensate for degradation.

Yes they are gems on the used market. What Hyundia Motor Group have learned from the Ioniq and first gen e-Niro will serve them well as they bring out smaller cars on the EV only platform. Tesla and HMG seem to be ahead of other OEMS when it comes to EV efficiency.

Great cars. It’s a shame that Hyundai hasn’t brought out a new version and went down the massive crossover SUV and saloon route instead. I’m still hoping they will bring out an efficient C-segment EV hatchback (i.e. a new version of the original Ioniq) eventually, rather than more crossovers and saloons.
Matt I agree with your point that a true SOH of a car is the miles one get from the car. My MG Zs EV after 3yrs is around 93% according to car scanner but my range hasn't changed a bit. With Eco mode on 90km I get almost 300km with A/c off and 264km on motorway which is what MG claim. So yeah.

I'm told you can make this SOH reading more reliable by doing a calibration charge. IE letting it get below 20% then charging to 100% and then letting the BMS tell you the SOH.

I've had an e-Niro (64 kWh) from new since March 2019 and at 95,000 km there is no discernible loss of range. The actual pack size is 67.5 kWh but the BMS limits the max voltage on the cells until one or more cells can no longer reach the nominal cell voltage. Then the BMS cranks up the voltage slightly on all the other cells so as far as the driver is concerned there is still a full 64 kWh pack.

@@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270my Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh loses 1% per year or so. Assuming it is the same for you, , it’s going to take 5-6 years to start affecting the battery beyond the buffer.
@@Nikoo033 That's right in theory but of course no two EVs are driven and charged in exactly the same way and the climate where the car is used will also play a part. 5-6 years of driving for me is about 100,000 km, for some it will be less, for others more. At 200,000 km and 10 years old I would expect to have lost about 5% of the original range of the car. At 300,000 km and 15 years old, allowing for calendar ageing too I would expect the range to be around 80% of its original...but still capable of 350 km. By that time and usage the majority of ICE vehicles are needing serious work to keep them going.
"Rapid" is a bit of a misnomer with the 38 Ioniq when I had mine I don't think I ever saw it peak at much over 33KW and most of the time it charged in the low 20s
It would be interesting to know what the actual usable capacity of the traction battery in kWh is now compared to new. Presumably not actually 38.3 kWh (100%)? Anyway an excellent result in each case here. Presumably the batteries haven't been rapid charged very frequently, and have not been left at very low or very high states of charge for long periods? Would be interesting to also get hold of a high mileage Ioniq of the same age and see how that compares to these, relatively low mileage examples. Very interesting results - thanks.
I've done tests before on our high mileage 28kWh model and the capacity is unchanged. PS. DC rapid charging has zero effect in the real world. Maybe does on a Leaf, but not others.
@@GoGreenAutos thanks, will watch again. Not doubting the results; just interested in the data. All batteries degrade over time so thought it could be useful to measure how much energy it's possible to put into the battery pack compared to what the BMS reports. It won't be as bad as the Leaf of course but some loss should be evident according to what we know about NMC electrochemistry.
I handed my 38kWh Ioniq back at the end of the 3 year lease at the end of July 2023 with 67000 miles on the clock. Such a great car, but the battery coolant issue did keep reoccurring. How have you managed that with your two cars? I now have a Polestar 2, but the Ioniq had many better features than this newer, more expensive car.
Hi, I own an EV so I was interested to know if a State of Health check gives the same readings as when an EV is sitting idle or being driven under load. For example using the heater / air con so wondered if it would highlight a weak cell for instance.
Battery deterioration isn't State of Health. The scanner should have both options. It should show state of health, maximum deterioration, minimum deterioration, cell numbers for min and max. It looks like this scanner doesn't read all data from BMS
Niro has two pack sizes, so the larger pack has a lot more range. Its basically the powertrain with a different body. Niro is a small hatchback and does have more power from the motor, but that ends up making it not so nice to drive in my opinion and less efficient. Both excellent EVs, but the Ioniq wins for me.
So I've had my car for about a week and noticed I've got a reduced range of about 140 miles. The battery charges to 80% as normal but then suddenly says fully charged to 100% in about 10mins on a 2.3kwh charge. Have you heard if this before. Still love the car and it's not a show stopper for me
No. It sounds like you need to do some cell balancing. Use the car and get the battery down below 20%. Then fully charge it to 100% and leave it connected so it does the balancing. Use and repeat.
@GoGreenAutos so.i think this makes sense. I spoke to the previous owner through their registered bluelink email and they said that they consistently charged only to 80%. I'll have a go at this and let you know how I get on
@GoGreenAutos that's what I've been reading. It's such a lovely car I'm thrilled with it to be honest, and the amount of people that have asked me about it has been surprising
Just noticed an Ioniq 38 in a forum post that appears to have SOH at 76.8 %. Maybe battery damage due to being left on 100% (or very low) state of charge too often and for too long, or a faulty cell?
@@WolfgangBothe 77% is really low and not sure if cell balancing will bring SOH above 80% in that case.. best I've got with cell rebalancing is extra 2-3% after repeated deep charging on AC over a few months.
Great video. I have a 21 plate 38 KWH Ioniq. I was wondering if you know why my car won’t charge at the Tesla charging points - even the ones available To non Tesla cars. The app kept Saying “no car found” ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Some owners have had issues with the Tesla CCS plug not pushing home properly. I've not experienced it myself, but I made a video on it ua-cam.com/video/-zOD7SU72yE/v-deo.htmlsi=kugchG2pAggquJGu
Something I will never understand, I bought new energy tires I've done everything I can to make sure I drive efficiently and the most range I ever got out of my 2021 38 kegawatt, was 185 miles of range, I find it so frustrating when I see people like you who have 200 or more. Is there anything else I can do? Is it something in the computer itself?
We get ~220 miles in the summer. Lift each wheel and check the brakes aren't binding and causing drag. The rear brakes can do, see ua-cam.com/video/FYlWAH-CNIk/v-deo.htmlsi=6wM0LirN7KMd4ItD But its typically down to driving style. You need to look at your mpkWh rather than your range.
That's pretty impossible to have 100% SoH after 3 years. I own a 38kwh 2022 Ioniq with 16.000 km and the reported BMS heath is 92.6%. Maximum deterioration is not the SoH. On my OBD tool I have the parameter Maximum deterioration and it's about 10.2% and SoH is a separate parameter and it shows 92.6%
@@benellis7427 It can't be 100%. It's not realistic to have 0 degradation after more than 3 years. All batteries get some degradation after some km. Especially in the first year of usage.
@@ConstantinBanciu I’m well aware of that but you won’t notice it and the BMS SOH on Hyundai’s doesn’t drop for a considerable amount of time. If yours states 92.6 I’m guessing that you have a cell imbalance.
@@thorsrensen3162 I have just watched that video. It looks very much to me that these UA-camrs are simply trying to create a buzz and generate views. First of all, it’s not 50k of US $, but Canadian dollars CAD$. So about £33k. Secondly, if you watch the video, you’ll see that the video talks about 2 different cases: one with a guy called Kyle and another one from a lady. The lady drove over another car’s exhaust! I mean, who does that??? The damages are superficial (video provided) and the car’s battery was fine in the end. It’s just her insurance being fussy. But the UA-camrs are mixing things up to confuse you by then switching to Kyle’s case in the middle of talking about the lady’s case and for which there was no video or photo this time and state a quote by Hyundai that damages were more extensive than previously assessed and that the battery needs replacing, at a prohibitive cost. So your brain goes, “hang on a minute, I’ve just seen a video of underneath the car and these were merely scratches”… but you’ve been conned because they are talking about Kyle’s case, for which you haven’t got any visuals for the damages incurred by the car… Basically, forget about these con artists trying to generate views.
Nope is not like that. Hyundai/Kia are gradually adding capacity from the buffer to keep range and SOH to 100%. So unfortunately those numbers are meaningless. Also, batteries don't age with time but with charge/discharge cycles and the dept of discharge (DOD) of those cycles. So its more the driven mileage and the rule of thumb for thermally well managed batteries (e.g. Tesla) is: 5% degradation after the first 50.000km and then 1% for every 50.000km which follows. My car has done 390.000km and the degradation is 14%.
Buying 2nd hand EV's are a bit of a minefield tbh. These cars are 2 low mileage cars that are looked after & slow charged. Least with an ex lease ice car you know it's in good condition with service history. When buying a 2nd hand EV I don't know if the previous owner only charged on rapids and charged to 100% all the time and run the battery down low all the time.
@@GoGreenAutos Thanks for that info. I always thought rapid charging damaged the battery if it was used a lot. Still there's noway of knowing if the previous owner kept within the 20-80 % or constantly ran low and charged full
Nah, I bought my Hyundai ioniq28 second hand with over 60000 mileage already. One year of ownership, nothing to report apart from a known issue with the charge port for which the warranty kicked in. Nothing to pay. All you have to do is get in touch directly with the place where the EV has been regularly serviced, or last serviced, have an honest discussion with them, ask them about state of health (SoH) of the battery at the time. Then use the dashboard data to work out current actual battery capacity of the EV and if the range corresponds to what is expected for the season according to EV database website. If all checks out, it’s all good. 👌🏻
It’s a shame that other manufacturers weren’t concentrating on the efficiency of their cars. There would be massive savings on resources and customers could buy cheaper vehicles.

@@ConstantinBanciu I’m well aware of that but you won’t notice it and the BMS SOH on Hyundai’s doesn’t drop for a considerable amount of time. If yours states 92.6 I’m guessing that you have a cell imbalance.
@@benellis7427 nope. All cells have the exact voltage
@@ConstantinBanciu I guess you must just be unlucky. Most are still showing 100%
I think the main worry with these is the handles coming off 🤨
There was som Ionics which got a small dent in the battery and had to be replaced the battery for 50.000 usd.
Different Ionic, that’s the Ionic 5.
@@devonbikefilms OK ithe price just scared me and the owners had to make a difficult decision.
The official price for a new battery for the Ioniq 28Wh or 38kWh as announced by Hyundai is £5k-£8k not 50k 😅
@@Nikoo033 Sorry, it was the Ionic 5 battery which cost 60.000 USD, ref. the UA-camr MotorMouth in his video 4 days ago.
@@thorsrensen3162 I have just watched that video. It looks very much to me that these UA-camrs are simply trying to create a buzz and generate views.
First of all, it’s not 50k of US $, but Canadian dollars CAD$. So about £33k. Secondly, if you watch the video, you’ll see that the video talks about 2 different cases: one with a guy called Kyle and another one from a lady. The lady drove over another car’s exhaust! I mean, who does that??? The damages are superficial (video provided) and the car’s battery was fine in the end. It’s just her insurance being fussy. But the UA-camrs are mixing things up to confuse you by then switching to Kyle’s case in the middle of talking about the lady’s case and for which there was no video or photo this time and state a quote by Hyundai that damages were more extensive than previously assessed and that the battery needs replacing, at a prohibitive cost. So your brain goes, “hang on a minute, I’ve just seen a video of underneath the car and these were merely scratches”… but you’ve been conned because they are talking about Kyle’s case, for which you haven’t got any visuals for the damages incurred by the car…
Basically, forget about these con artists trying to generate views.
Nope is not like that. Hyundai/Kia are gradually adding capacity from the buffer to keep range and SOH to 100%. So unfortunately those numbers are meaningless. Also, batteries don't age with time but with charge/discharge cycles and the dept of discharge (DOD) of those cycles. So its more the driven mileage and the rule of thumb for thermally well managed batteries (e.g. Tesla) is: 5% degradation after the first 50.000km and then 1% for every 50.000km which follows. My car has done 390.000km and the degradation is 14%.
Buying 2nd hand EV's are a bit of a minefield tbh.
These cars are 2 low mileage cars that are looked after & slow charged.
Least with an ex lease ice car you know it's in good condition with service history.
When buying a 2nd hand EV I don't know if the previous owner only charged on rapids and charged to 100% all the time and run the battery down low all the time.
DC rapid charging has no effect and does not reduce battery health.
@@GoGreenAutos Thanks for that info. I always thought rapid charging damaged the battery if it was used a lot. Still there's noway of knowing if the previous owner kept within the 20-80 % or constantly ran low and charged full
@@stevebeever2442 It's leaving it at a high or very low state of charge for any length of time that causes deterioration
Nah, I bought my Hyundai ioniq28 second hand with over 60000 mileage already. One year of ownership, nothing to report apart from a known issue with the charge port for which the warranty kicked in. Nothing to pay. All you have to do is get in touch directly with the place where the EV has been regularly serviced, or last serviced, have an honest discussion with them, ask them about state of health (SoH) of the battery at the time. Then use the dashboard data to work out current actual battery capacity of the EV and if the range corresponds to what is expected for the season according to EV database website. If all checks out, it’s all good. 👌🏻
It’s a shame that other manufacturers weren’t concentrating on the efficiency of their cars. There would be massive savings on resources and customers could buy cheaper vehicles.
