Electric vehicles tend to struggle in the cold. It’s one of the most challenging environments for them. One of the primary reasons is that electric vehicles rely on chemical reactions in their batteries to generate electricity. These chemical reactions are slowed down in colder temperatures, which reduces the amount of energy that can be produced and delivered to the vehicle’s motor.
EV owners do have some workarounds, though. Setting charge timers so that the vehicle finishes charging right before departure helps keep batteries warmer. Pre-heating the cabin helps reduce the need for the heater, and you can even get away with using heated seats sometimes. In some cases, using a garage is an even better option.
Hyundai Motor has integrated its Electrified-Global Modular Platform with N’s cutting-edge motorsport technologies and expertise for the IONIQ 5 N, creating an electrified high-performance vehicle that sets a new standard and offers year-round performance for driving enthusiasts. The engineers at N brand have thoroughly fine-tuned IONIQ 5’s E-GMP dual-motor architecture to deliver remarkable high performance in all driving situations, including extreme conditions like the frozen ice lakes of Arjeplog. Knowledge transfer from the all-surface AWD capabilities demonstrated by the Hyundai i20 N WRC Rally 1 car in Sweden was applied to optimize the IONIQ 5 N’s capabilities across all surfaces.
The N Drift Optimizer in the IONIQ 5 N enhances the vehicle’s corner-carving abilities by combining front and rear torque distribution, torque rate, suspension stiffness, steering effort, and the electronic-Limited Slip Differential system to create a specialized driving mode designed for drifting. This feature is tailored to drivers of all skill levels, offering an enjoyable drifting experience, particularly for those new to the sport.
Damn straight, saw plenty of them happily eating miles in the winter here
