Charging a Hyundai electric vehicle is substantially less expensive than fueling a gas-powered car. On average, the cost of electricity is much lower than gas per mile driven. The exact charging cost depends on electricity rates in your area and the charging level, but expect to save significantly on "fuel" costs with an EV.

Absolutely! With a range of over 250 miles for many models, Hyundai EVs are road trip capable. The key is planning for charging stops along the way using apps and maps of public charging stations. Many Hyundai models also support fast DC charging, which can charge the battery to 80% in under an hour while you take a food or rest break on your journey.

Like all EVs, Hyundai electric vehicles can experience somewhat reduced range in frigid winter weather. However, Hyundai engineers have designed their EVs to handle cold climates as well as possible with thermal management systems for the battery and energy-efficient heat pumps to warm the cabin. EVs are reliable in the snow when equipped with good winter tires.

Finding a place to charge your Hyundai EV is getting easier every day as the charging infrastructure rapidly expands. Several websites and mobile apps are dedicated to maps and public charging station listings. Many new Hyundai electric vehicles come with complimentary access to the Electrify America network of fast chargers. You can also install a Level 2 charger at your home for convenient overnight charging.

Hyundai EV batteries are built to last the life of the vehicle. All Hyundai electric vehicles come with a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty on the battery. In real-world conditions, EV batteries are very durable and may last well over 200,000 miles before noticeable degradation, which means you can enjoy many years of emissions-free driving.

While Hyundai electric vehicles may have a moderately higher sticker price than a comparable gas model, the total cost of ownership is often lower for EVs. This is thanks to significantly reduced fuel and maintenance costs, potential tax credits and other incentives for going electric. As EV tech continues to mature, upfront prices are coming down every year.

Hyundai electric vehicles produce zero direct emissions, a major environmental and public health benefit, especially in urban areas. EVs are much more efficient than gas vehicles and can be powered by clean, renewable energy sources. You are contributing to a more sustainable transportation future by choosing an electric Hyundai.

  • Instant, smooth, and quiet acceleration with no shifting
  • More interior space thanks to the smaller electric motors
