America’s Most Awarded EV Lineup. Plus, hybrids and plug-in hybrids, too.*
If you’re thinking about making the switch to an electrified vehicle, you’re not alone. More and more people are discovering the benefits of driving electric, from reducing their carbon footprint to saving money on fuel and maintenance. At Hyundai, we offer a wide variety of electrified options, with four different powertrains to choose from. And to help you make an informed decision, we’ve gathered all the information and resources you need right here in one convenient place.
Not sure if what you’ve heard about electric vehicles is true? Here are some common beliefs along with the actual facts.
Myths about electric
1 of 4
Thanks to instant torque, electric vehicles give you quick yet smooth acceleration that makes them a blast to drive. In fact, the most powerful Hyundai ever built is an EV: the 641-hp IONIQ 5 N (when N Grin Boost is engaged).*

Hyundai electric models come with cutting-edge battery technology that can give you hundreds of miles on a single charge, comparable to many gas-powered vehicles.

All Hyundai EVs have advanced pre-conditioning systems, which help keep batteries at their optimal temperature in colder climates.

The vast and fast-growing network of public charging stations means you’ve got plenty of charging options nearby. Coupled with the ease of charging at home or work, it’s never been easier to keep your EV powered up.
Using motors entirely powered by batteries, electric vehicles can drive farther than you’d expect—up to an EPA-est. 342 miles for IONIQ 6. Regenerative braking helps extend range, but the battery is mainly recharged by plugging into an outlet. Charging speed depends on the vehicle and charger type. For instance, IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 can use an 800V DC charger for ultra-fast charging, making them among the fastest charging EVs.*
With a battery-powered motor and a gas engine, plug-in hybrids have bigger batteries than hybrids, so you actually have the option of driving in all-electric mode. You also get an impressive combined range too—as high as an EPA-estimated 419 miles with 2025 TUCSON Plug-in Hybrid. The battery can be recharged with an electrical outlet, and regenerative braking helps extend driving range.*
Hybrids use their gas engine and electric motor separately or together, depending on the speed. The motor’s battery is recharged by only the regenerative brakes, so there’s no need for you to plug in to an outlet. For these reasons, hybrids tend to have better fuel efficiency than their gas-only counterparts. The 2026 PALISADE Hybrid, not only offers best-in class interior space, but also an EPA-estimated range of up to 619 miles.*
Our month-to-month subscription program, Evolve+ is a perfect fit for those who want to try out our electric vehicles without being tied down to a purchase or a long-term lease. Currently available at select dealers in AL, AR, CA, HI, MD, MA, NJ, VA, and WA. Vehicle availability is extremely limited.*
Going electric isn’t just about more innovation, it’s also about less maintenance. Simply put, electric powertrains are simpler than their gas counterparts. There’s no exhaust system or transmission. Zero oil changes. And while an internal-combustion engine typically has over 2,000 parts, an electric motor has 20 or less. Fewer moving parts means fewer potential issues, possibly saving you both time and money.
Make your house as electrified as your electric vehicle. With Hyundai Home, you’ll have the power to take charge of your electricity with solar panels, energy storage systems and a 240-volt (Level 2) charger.*

FAQ
The actual charging time varies based on a number of factors, including the vehicle model and trim, current battery charge level, output of the charging unit, vehicle and battery settings, and outside temperature. Level 1 is the easiest home charging option—you simply plug into a standard 120V AC outlet with the portable charging cable that comes with select Hyundai models. But it takes significantly longer than other charging options. Level 2 charging can fully charge your vehicle in as little as 4 hours 55 minutes (2025 KONA Electric SE Standard Range) depending on the model and various conditions. For Level 3 charging, DC fast chargers can take your vehicle from 10% to 80% in as little as 24-73 minutes, depending on model. Even better, a 350-kW, 800V DC ultra-fast charger can power up 2025 IONIQ 6 from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes.*
The cost to charge an electric vehicle (EV) depends on several factors, including local electricity rates, the type of charger used, where you charge (home vs. public charging station), and the vehicle itself.

During braking or coasting, regenerative braking turns the wheels’ rotations into electricity, which is then stored in the battery. IONIQ 5, IONIQ 5 N, IONIQ 6, KONA Electric and NEXO Fuel Cell have control paddles behind the steering wheel, which let you choose from different levels of regenerative braking.
Unlike gas-powered vehicles, EVs have no transmission. So, this means no oil changes.
With zero tailpipe emissions, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and higher energy efficiency than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, electric vehicles (EVs) are an important step in reducing our environmental footprint.
