Hyundai Ioniq 6 in Cold Weather
Excellent cold retention with the heat pump; its low drag helps preserve highway range, though cold still dominates losses.

Cold-weather tips
- 1
Enable battery preconditioning
Navigate to a DC charger with the setting enabled so the pack is warm before you plug in.
- 2
Exploit the low drag coefficient
Keep speed moderate on cold highways — aero efficiency matters more when the battery is already taxed by cold.
- 3
Use driver-only climate
Heating one zone instead of the whole cabin cuts winter consumption noticeably.
- 4
Precondition while plugged in
Use scheduled climate so the cabin warms from wall power before departure.
