I have an Ioniq 6 since December. It’s my first EV and the experience has been great.

We had a pretty severe heatwave last week and It got me thinking. Heat is usually the enemy of the batteries. I try to park the car in the shade/parking garage most of the time, but sometimes you just can’t. I’m lucky we have a free parking garage near our office so that’s not an issue, but if I travel somewhere, the car could be parked in the sun for a couple of days.

Does the car cool the battery automatically if it gets too hot on the parking lot? In general, what are your experiences?

Thanks.
