I’m going to be buying a 2025 Ioniq 5 this year. I’m wondering if anybody has had any issues parking their car for an extended period of time (let’s say 2 weeks) in cold weather. We like to go away for a few weeks in the winter and park our car at an outdoor airport parking lot in below freezing conditions. Is it difficult to start in cold weather after sitting so long? Does it hold its charge over that period of time in that kind of weather? Input from anybody who has had the experience would be be much appreciated.
It's best to plug in the Ioniq 5 to keep the 12V battery charged but for only 2 weeks, you won't have an issue until that 12V battery is at the end of its lifecycle. No concerns for the HV battery. In 2 months my HV battery dropped from 80% to 77% while stored outside in 2 weeks of -20C temps.
