Electric Vehicle FAQ
Electric vehicle charging time varies depending on the type of charging station being used and the specific model of your Hyundai. Level 1 charging, 120v, can take up to 24 hours. Level 2 charging, a unit installed at home and used at many public charging stations, can fully charge the battery in 6 - 8 hours. Level 3 charging is a DC fast charge option. While this method can be used to charge your EV battery up to 80% in as little as 20 minutes, it is not the preferred method and should be used sparingly to prolong the life of your battery.
While the amount of maintenance an electric vehicle requires is far less than that of a combustion engine, regular maintenance is required to keep it running its best. With fewer moving parts, there is less service required to maintain the engine, they don’t require oil changes, and with regenerative braking, your brake pads will last longer. Overall, the cost of maintaining a Hyundai EV is significantly lower than that of a combustion engine.
Hyundai’s standard EV safety features include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and more. Many Hyundai EVs have received high safety ratings from organizations like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), making a Hyundai EV the top choice for a safety conscious driver.
The answer is a resounding yes. The increased infrastructure of charging stations means you can drive up to 300 miles between charging. Navigation systems have made it easier than ever to plan your route by pinpointing charging stations en route to your destination, and fortunately, Hyudai has its own navigation system to help you along your way. With a bit of planning, you’ll hardly notice the difference on long trips, but you will notice how quiet and peaceful the drive will be.
Hyundai motors offers one of the most comprehensive warranty packages in the automotive industry for our EVs. Our typical EV coverage provides a basic warranty covering the entire vehicle for a certain number of years or miles, as well as additional coverage for the battery pack. For example, as of 2022, the battery in many Hyundai electric vehicles is covered by a warranty for up to 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Always consult your Hyundai dealer for the most up-to-date warranty information.
