Can I Coast in Neutral with My I5?

[samjames202444]

So I've got this Ioniq 5 AWD and I'm curious - is it okay to shift into Neutral when I'm coasting down a hill? I know for regular cars it's a no-go, but what about EVs like ours? Got any thoughts on that?

That's a big no no. Never ever coast in neutral. That's a red flag when driving automatic trannys.

You can put it in N while sitting at a stoplight that takes forever to turn green. However, cruising in neutral with an automatic transmission is a bad idea. You can coast in neutral if you have a manual transmission though.

I am curious where did this idea come from to you.
