How to Maintain Your Hyundai EV

Our electric vehicles have made us the most awarded electric vehicle brand. Most notably, IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 have won World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year respectively.

The capabilities of an infrastructure that supports Hyundai fully electrified vehicles mean they aren’t just for early adopters any more. With range life at an all-time high, and charging times shorter than ever, Hyundai EVs are designed to fit your driving needs. With an all-electric range of over 400 kilometres, you can enjoy longer trips without worrying about running out of power. Choose from flexible battery size and drivetrain options (FWD/RWD/AWD), allowing you to customize your vehicle to fit your needs.

 

The IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 also feature V2L two-way-on-board charger capability, allowing you to use your car as a power source for appliances and devices. Plus, our EV dedicated e-GMP platform ensures the most efficient packaging of the electric motor, battery, and power electric system within the chassis, giving you a smooth and efficient ride.

Experience the future of driving with Hyundai's electric vehicles.

HOW DOES AN ELECTRIC CAR WORK?

Electric cars, or battery electric vehicles (BEVs), have an electric powertrain and motor that is powered by a large battery. These vehicles are 100 per cent non-emitting. You can only “fuel” them by plugging into a wall outlet or electric vehicle charging station to charge up the battery.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHARGE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE?

A Level 1 charger (1.4 kW) which is the standard household outlet, takes approximately 48 hours for a full charge. A Level 2 charger (7.2 kW) can provide a full charge in between 7 to 10 hours. Level 3 (minimum 50 kW) chargers can provide up to 80% charge in between 1 to 2 hours. Charging times are estimates based on manufacturer’s testing, charging output, and vary by model depending on current state of charge. Please consult your Owner’s manual for more information on charging. Models using the e-GMP platform (IONIQ 5&6), have the ability to charge from 10-80% in 18 minutes using a Level 3 charger with 350 kW.

WHAT IS THE RANGE OF HYUNDAI ELECTRIC VEHICLES?

Hyundai Canada offers a variety of electric vehicles with varying ranges. The 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Preferred Long Range RWD has an estimated range of up to 488 km and up to 581 km on the IONIQ 6 Preferred Long Range RWD on a full charge. The 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric has an estimated range of up to 415 km on a full charge. The 2023 Hyundai Tucson Luxury Plug-in Hybrid has an estimated all-electric range of up to 53 km on a full charge. It's important to note that actual range may vary depending on factors such as driving habits, temperature, and terrain.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CHARGE AN ELECTRIC CAR?

The cost of charging an electric vehicle varies depending on the price of electricity in your province and which time of day you choose to charge. A helpful solution for owners to charge during off-peak hours is to set the charging system to accept a charge during this specific time frame. All you have to do is set it and forget it. See your Hyundai dealer for details.

WHAT IS THE MAINTENANCE COST FOR HYUNDAI ELECTRIC AND HYBRID VEHICLES IN CANADA?

The maintenance cost for Hyundai electric vehicles in Canada varies depending on the model and the type of service needed.

WHAT HAPPENS IN RANGE COLD TEMPERATURES?

An electric vehicle can experience a loss of range in extreme cold temperatures. The primary reasoning behind range reduction is that the electric vehicle must power a separate electric heater that draws power from the high-voltage battery. To counteract this natural response, our electric vehicles come with a Heat Pump System, which turns atmospheric heat into cabin heat reducing the use of the HVAC system. In addition, our electric vehicles also come with a Battery Temperature Management System that preheats the battery while charging to aid in reducing range loss. These two systems help take on Canadian winters while providing owners with that extra bit of driving confidence.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND A BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLE?

A Hybrid vehicle uses both a gasoline engine and electric motor for propulsion. An electric vehicle uses only an electric motor for propulsion – no gasoline required. The electric vehicle’s high-density battery needs to be periodically charged through an external electrical power source.

WHAT IS THE WARRANTY ON HYUNDAI ELECTRIC AND HYBRID VEHICLES IN CANADA?

Hyundai electric and hybrid vehicles come with a 5-year/100,000 km comprehensive warranty and an 8-year/160,000 km warranty for hybrid and electric components.
