Charging while you rent
-
Use CCS fast chargers. In Salem: Electrify America at the Walmart on Lancaster Dr NE, and EVgo at the Pilot on Brooklake Rd (I-5 exit 263). Both go up to 350 kW, which is where this car shines.
-
Tesla Superchargers: the Ioniq 5 can use many of them with a Hyundai-approved NACS adapter and the Tesla app. It charges slower there (up to about 135 kW). Check your trip details in the Turo app to see if an adapter is in the car. Our guide explains how: Charging a non-Tesla at a Tesla Supercharger.
-
On road trips, stop at about 80%. The last 20% is the slowest part.
-
Charging costs and return battery level: check your trip details in the Turo app.

First-time Ioniq 5 tips
-
The key. The key is in a lockbox on the car. Check your trip details in the Turo app for how to open it. Keep the key with you while you drive.
-
Starting it. Foot on the brake, press the start button. Wait for "READY" on the dash.
-
Shifting. The gear selector is the stalk on the right side of the steering column. Twist it forward for Drive, back for Reverse, and press the P button on its end to Park.
-
Regen paddles. The paddles behind the steering wheel set how much the car slows itself when you lift off the accelerator. Left = more, right = less.
-
One-pedal driving (i-PEDAL). Pull the left paddle until you reach the strongest level (3), then pull it once more. "i-PEDAL" shows on the dash, and the car will slow to a stop when you lift off the accelerator. Pull the right paddle to turn it off.
-
No app needed. You don't need Hyundai's Bluelink app to drive or charge.
-
Pets welcome. Bring your dog along.
-
Returning it. Grab your things and follow the return steps in your trip details in the Turo app.
