EV Ownership FAQs
Are electric vehicles reliable for everyday use?
Absolutely! Cutting-edge technology and advanced engineering guarantee a smooth, dependable ride for everyday commutes and daily drives. Connecticut Hyundai fans love the quiet, efficient performance of new electric cars like the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6, and so will you!
How far can I go on a single charge in a Hyundai EV?
Hyundai electric vehicle range options vary depending on the model. The Hyundai Kona Electric, for example, offers an impressive EPA-estimated range of up to 258 miles on a single charge. The IONIQ 6 range maxes out at an incredible 361 miles -- more than many cars can go on a single tank of gas. This should comfortably cover most daily commutes, local driving and even weekend trips.
Is it easy to charge an EV?
Yes! Charging a new Hyundai EV near Killingly is easy. Many drivers rely on the following two charging options:
- Home Charging: You can plug your EV into a standard 120-volt outlet in your garage or driveway and immediately start regaining range. For faster charging, you may want to consider installing a 240-volt Level 2 charger at home.
- Public Charging Stations: There are numerous public charging stations available, including Level 2 and DC Fast Charging stations. You can use the Hyundai app or other third-party sources to locate these convenient public EV chargers in Connecticut.
Do EVs need maintenance?
Hyundai EVs have fewer moving parts than gasoline-powered vehicles, which means simpler service schedules. The best part? EVs don't require oil changes! However, routine maintenance such as tire rotations and brake inspections should still be carried out as recommended in your owner’s manual.
What happens if I run out of charge?
The thought of running out of charge, also known as range anxiety, is a common concern for first-time EV buyers. Thankfully, new Hyundai EVs minimize this risk thanks to available features like a built-in navigation system, which can help you plan trips accordingly. Onboard computers can also track your car's remaining range in real time, so you'll always know when to make time to charge.
