The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5. The contact stated that the electrical charger was overheating, and the 12-volt battery was draining without warning. The contact stated that while charging the vehicle, the contact heard an explosion. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, the message "Stop Driving Immediately - Return to Dealer"; the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle experienced a loss of automotive power. The contact stated that on one occasion after turning off the vehicle, the battery remained active for 3 days, causing the battery to become drained. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the water pump, the EV battery, the charge point, the inside batteries, the sensors, the navigation system, were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

When charging the car on level 2 charger at 40 amps, the connector where the charger plugs in overheats. Based on updated software the car reacts by turning off the charging, but I am concerned it may not always do that and the connector would overheat and fail. Also the car is not fully charged as it should be. This occurs perhaps 1 out of 2 or 3 charging sessions. Hyundai is aware of this but has chosen not to address the issue beyond shutting off charging, which is not an acceptable response. The local dealer appears to be unaware of the problem. They indicated I would have to pay for them to inspect it and only be reimbursed if the issue is under warranty

Known level 2 charging issue with Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles. Overheating issue with charging system, previously the issue shut down charging with a temperature exceeded ~212 Fahrenheit. TSB issued that "throttles" down charging rate, irrespective of the brand of level 2 charger doubling the time to charge the vehicle. Not as advertised and significantly reducing the utility of the vehicle.

We have owned an Ionic 5 for a year. For 8 months the level 2 charging system worked fine. We have two 40 amp level 2 chargers at two different locations which both charge the car at between 9.0 and 9.2 kW, well below the Ionic 5’s advertised capacity of 10.6 kW. After 8 months the charging session began to fail after only 1.5 hours due to the charge port overheating. Initially this seemed to be related to the ambient temperature, but now the failure occurs even when the ambient temperature is below 70. Once the session fails, the charging system keeps cycling between starting and failing, with each cycle lasting only a couple of minuets. Therefore it is very difficult to charge the car to even an 80% capacity. I am also worried about the impact this constant cycling is having on the battery overheating as well as the life of the battery.

Charge port on vehicle overheats when charging on AC charger and stops charging. Anything above 32 amps. The car is supposed to handle 48 amps.

Recently - my car has been encountering an issue and it has been slowly getting worse and worse. I have a 40 amp Level 2 charger I frequently use to charge my car. I first noticed it a few weeks ago, where my car seemingly stopped charging for no reason. I brushed it off, then unplugged it + plugged it back in and the rest of the session went fine. Lately, as temps have been rising I noticed the car failing charging sessions one, or two times per day. After doing some research, it turns out i’m far from the only one having this issue. Many other others have been experiencing the same issue as I, and the same degradation. Some people who were initially able to charge their car at 11kw, are now only to charge around 5kw, otherwise the cars onboard AC charger gets too hot and ends the charging session. I have started to see my car degrade as well, as I have had to lower my charge rate to 32a. I have tested out Level 2 AC charging on other chargers as well to rule out my charger being the problem, and it happens on them too unfortunately. To combat this AC charger overheating issue, Hyundai has released a TSB number 23-EV-003H. Unfortunately, the only thing this TSB does is kneecap the cars ability to level 2 charge at a decent rate. After the TSB is applied, once the car detects an overheating onboard AC charger, it will throttle the AC charge rate all the way down to around 5kw. This is unacceptable, when owners of the Ioniq 5 and 6 were promised a vehicle that is able to do 11kw AC charging, or as claimed on Hyundais website, a Level 2 charge from 10-100 in 6 hours and 43 minutes. With my car throttled to 32 amps, it doesn’t charge nearly as fast adding hours onto the total time required to charge. This is an issue for me because I do not have a place to come home to every single night to charge my car, i’m only able to stop by the charger momentarily which means securing as much energy as fast as possible through Level 2 charging is very important to me.

My car is unable to charge at the advertised 48A charge limit due to overheating of the charge port. Once I start charging, within 30 minutes to 2 hours the car will stop charging abruptly. It appears this is due to the AC Inlet port sensor reading 212F degrees when the issue occurs. The car is advertised as having 48A charging and if it’s not capable of this, Hyundai needs to resolve it.

Charging at home with a 240v level 2 charger overheats the car charging port causing a charge failure. This is a potential fire hazard.

When charging at home on level 2 charger at 40 amps, after 20-30 minutes of charging the charge drops from 9.71kw to 5.51kW. Previously charging at 40 amps the car would just stop charging completely, but after software update the car charge drops dramatically after 20-30 minutes. Research supports similar charging issues with 40-48 amp home chargers. The charge port seems to get overheated and automatically reduces charge speed. The technical service bulletin/software update has not fixed the charging issue.

Level 2 charging fails on warm days if charging above 9kw. I am unable to charge my car on days above 80-90 degrees using my 9.6kw (40 amp) Level 2 charger, as the cars internal will get so hot to the point where it overheats, and force stops charging. Occasionally, I will come back to my car while charging and find it's charging at a much lower speed then it should be. Hyundai claims to have a TSB to fix this issue, but it only neuters the cars charging ability, it doesn't actually fix the ability of the car to charge at 40 or 48 amps on a warm way.

Charging port overheats when charging at rated amperage on a level 2 charger, causing charging to stop repeatedly. Car does not charge consistently over 32 amps, but it’s advertised as charging at 48amps.
