Energy consumption is displayed on the dashboard and is re-calculated as you drive. It is different to the WLTP-rated consumption (which measures power from the mains).
This number is estimated by comparing the usable battery capacity against the WLTP range.
An estimate of how far you can drive on one full charge, adjusted for typical local conditions.
Type of driving — slide between all urban and all highway (≈ 100 km/h).
Temperature — pick the outside temperature (‑5 °C – 35 °C).
Energy consumption
How much electricity the car uses while it’s moving.
Use the 🔄 icon to flip between:
km / kWh — kilometres driven per kilowatt‑hour
kWh / 100 km — kilowatt‑hours used per 100 kilometres
Consumption ⚡️
How much electrical energy does the vehicle use while driving?
Higher speeds increase energy consumption (due to aerodynamic drag and reduced opportunity for electricity regeneration). Cold temperatures also increase consumption.
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) ⚡️
V2L allows electricity to flow from the battery to power appliances.
Some vehicles have interior NZ sockets, while others require an adapter be plugged into the Type 2 exterior charging socket.
Tow Capacity
Unbraked (kg) / Braked (kg)
Most EVs can have towbars fitted for carrying bikes (but not for towing loads).
Towing a load will significantly decrease range (typically by 50%).
The maximum charging rate the EV can support at home or public AC charging.
An EV has a built-in charger that converts household AC electricity into DC current that goes into the battery.
This limits the maximum speed you can charge at home - no matter what extra equipment you install. Single-phase power supports up to 7.4 kW - if the EV can take more than this, three-phase power must be available at the property.
Fast Charge ⚡
The maximum charging rate the EV can support at a DC fast charger.
Charging power also is limited by the capacity of the charging station.
In NZ, fast chargers are typically 25 kW, 50 kW, 100 kW, 175 kW, and 300 kW.
Cold temperatures and the vehicle's charging curve also dictate peak speed (i.e. a warm battery at a lower state-of-charge will charge quicker).
The Ioniq 5 was the first of a new generation of EVs from Hyundai (using the e-GMP platform). It was voted the 2021 New Zealand car of the year. Coming in a number of different trims and battery size. In 2025, the Series II facelift arrived with upgraded battery size and numerous trim improvements.
Long range variant, with HTRAC all wheel drive, plus front and rear motor.
In addition there is an upgraded trim available – the N Line. This offers glass vision roof, larger wheels, upgraded interior trim, Bose premium audio, a heads-up display and more.
