What's under the bonnet in an EV? A look at a 6 year old Hyundai Ioniq Electric 28kWh.

Подробнее о видео

In this video, I look at what is under the bonnet (or hood) in an electric vehicle - in the case, a 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Electric with the 28kWh battery pack. This is a UK spec car with a heat pump.
Most front wheel drive electric cars are the same or very similar. They have an electric motor, reduction gearbox, power electronics, ECUs, cooling and braking systems up front, with the traction battery traction under the floor. The high voltage battery is mounted under the passenger compartment floor, so it sits between the axles in the passenger safety cell.
