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.

In the 1.5 years since I bought the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (new vehicle) there have been three instances where the car has failed to turn on or off due to rapid discharge of the 12 V battery. In all three occasions, the main battery was fully charged; however, the 12V discharged rapidly. The first two times this happened it took about 20 to 30 minutes of waiting for the main battery to charge the 12V battery before the car would start; however, on the most recent occasion, I had to call a tow truck in order to get the car jump started. I am very concerned about the safety of myself and my young children as I regularly use this car to go to work and take my kids to school. The only warning sign was a yellow light on the dashboard of the car—the indication that the main battery is charging the 12 V battery (this was happening more frequently leading up to the 3 instances, which tells me that the 12V battery needed charge, but was being insufficiently charged by the main battery). Because of the poor 12V battery, I avoid using functions that could deteriorate the 12V battery, such as air conditioning, and the GPS system. Hyundai recently sent a letter/safety notice about a faulty ICCU and fuse, and I will be taking the car in soon to get this repaired, but the repeated discharges of the 12V battery in the last 1.5 years has deteriorated the 12V battery enough that Hyundai should be proactively replacing it (not just the ICCU and fuse).

While driving on the highway on 8/12 at around 4pm, with another passenger, doing approximately 65 MPH I received a "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning on my dashboard. The car showed no prior warnings, no other lights were on. MyHyundai app was also showing no diagnostic issues with the car. The car battery was showing a 77% charge at the time. I swerved on to the shoulder, putting myself in danger as this is a really busy highway. I checked the car and could not find anything wrong. Hyundai had not contacted me regarding any recalls. I decided to keep driving to see if I could make it home to diagnose the issue. I made it another 20 minutes and as I was about to exit the highway at around 60MPH the car completely slowed down to 20MPH suddenly, and I was forced to swerve onto the shoulder once again. The car would not accelerate past 20 MPH. Fearing an accident, I called a tow truck and had the car towed back to my house. There were no warnings lights/signs prior to this event. The car completely slowed down from 60-65MPH to 20MPH in the middle of the highway and I was forced to make an emergency stop putting myself and my passenger at risk. The car was brought to the dealership on 8/14 which is the first time I was alerted that there had been a recall on my car and that the ICCU would need replacement. At no point did Hyundai ever contact me via email, text, call, or mail alerting me there was a recall prior to this scary experience. This is gross negligence on the part of Hyundai, as my vehicle could have been rear ended and caused a major accident on the highway.

The car will only charge at half of the advertised Level 2 AC charging rate. It advertises it can charge at 48 amps; however, we cannot charge above 24 amps. If we charge above that rate the charging will stop. The issue appears to be well documented in online forums where if the charging port reaches about 100 Degrees C it will fault. There is a TSB they are installing but it just makes it automatically derate to ~24 amps which other than providing 15 minutes of higher power it doesn't at all solve the situation. Hyundai has recently stated that they are aware of the issue and they expect people to live with it and re-adjust their expectations; but it is fair to expect the car to perform as advertised. I also don't think any caveats about charging speed for weather or state of charge would be specific to level 3 charging; I am not aware of another EV in existence that doesn't provide its advertised AC charging level. It pretty clearly appears to be defective hardware. We also have friends who bought their car a month later (July 2023) and they are having the same issue; albeit they can still charge at 32amps. To answer the questions directly. - Charge Port - The cars cannot charge in time advertised making people drive without buffers and could run out of power on trips because they can only charge at half the rate advertised and couldn't charge overnight. - We are getting the TSB that will automatically reduce the charging rate this week. we had to wait over a month for an appointment. - It has not been inspected yet but all they are going to do per the TSB is if we say we have the problem they do the software update. - There are no customer facing error codes. The issue first started in March the first day it was over 70 degrees. We did not have an issue last summer or over the winter. The longest we can charge since then at 40 amps is about 15 minutes. We have never even charged the car at 48 amps which is what it is supposed to be able to do.

On October 3, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened PE24028 to investigate alleged failures of Enel X Way's JuiceBox Level 2 residential EV chargers. The allegations were described as thermal incidents and electrical malfunctions, which could trip the circuit breakers in Juicebox owners’ homes and disrupt electric vehicle charge cycles. On October 2, 2024, Enel X Way posted on its website that Enel X Way North America would cease operations in the United States and Canada on October 11, 2024. The closure would potentially impact the charging app and supporting software. ODI sent Enel X Way an Information Request (IR) letter on October 21, 2024. Enel X Way provided an incomplete response to the IR on December 9, 2024. Enel X Way later provided a complete response to the IR on January 24, 2025. ODI reviewed Enel X Way’s IR submissions to determine whether further action is required. Based on ODI’s analysis, there was no clear trend in the cause of the failures described in customer complaints and warranty reports. Additionally, there have been no recent reports alleging safety issues. The available information does not warrant further action at this time. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will continue to monitor for any safety trends and reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the ODI reports cited in this Closing Resume, go to NHTSA.gov.
On June 8, 2023, the Office of Defect Investigation (ODI) opened PE23011 to investigate allegations of loss of motor power on model year (MY) 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles. Some consumers reported loss of motor power immediately after a warning lamp illumination or reduction of motive power while the vehicle was in motion. This investigation found that the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may be subject to various conditions such as overcurrent, overvoltage induced at the end of charging, and certain thermal loading during operation that can damage its internal components and open the ICCU fuse, resulting in an inability to charge the 12-volt battery. The vehicle could eventually lose all motive power, increasing the risk of a crash. In July 2023, Hyundai issued a service campaign to address certain MY 2022-2023 Ioniq 5 and MY 2023 Ioniq 6 vehicles that may have low 12V auxiliary battery charging occurrences due to an ICCU fault and may set the DTC P1A9096 “DC/DC Converter Input Voltage Sensor Fault”. On March 15, 2024, Hyundai filed Safety Recall 24V-204 for 98,878 MY 2022-2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles and MY 2023-2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6, Genesis GV60, Genesis GV70 “Electrified” and Genesis G80 “Electrified” vehicles. The recall remedy provides an inspection, and if necessary, a replacement of the ICCU and the associated fuse. The ICCU software reduces the risk of overcurrent and implements voltage peak reduction at the end of EV battery charging. The recall also includes a software update that revises the electric water pump operational threshold to reduce thermal loading during charging and driving. In view of the recall action being taken by Hyundai, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.
