Owning an electric vehicle

We encourage you to satisfy your curiosity about electric cars at the Hyundai Explore Electric Event.

Reasons to drive an electrified vehicle

There are many reasons to go electric: from the driving experience to reduced tailpipe emissions – explore everything about going electric and find out what kind of electrified powertrain best suits your lifestyle.

  1. Performance

    Electric vehicles provide a remarkable level of performance and agility. The absence of a 6-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine does not equate to being slower. EVs deliver instant torque and rapid acceleration. Despite the added weight of the battery, EVs exhibit swift acceleration from a standstill and maintain a seamless as well as consistent speed.

    Spacious

    Electric vehicles don’t have a transmission like petrol or diesel cars. Not having a big centre tunnel or gear shifter inside the car lets us create a flat floor and more room for passengers.

    Nice and quiet

    Due to their low-noise electric motors, electric vehicles produce minimal sound at lower speeds in contrast to their internal combustion counterparts.

    Agility

    Electric vehicles are typically equipped with a single-speed reduction gear, so there’s no more shifting. As a result, the ride is smooth and the response is almost instantaneous.

Petrol/Diesel ban

The UK Government plans to ban all petrol and diesel vehicles in 2035. Getting an EV today has never been easier and will give you plenty of time to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of electric vehicle ownership.

Operating costs

There may be financial benefits in making the switch to electric. While the purchase of an electric vehicle can be more expensive, the operating costs are typically lower. Unlike a petrol or diesel car, electric vehicles have fewer moving parts.

Charging infrastructure

The network of electric charges in the UK and Europe is ever-growing. For example, Charge MyHyundai gives you access to over 44,000 charging stations in the UK (and over 730,000 across Europe). 

Comprehensive Guide to Electric Cars: Charging and range explained

There are two types of electric vehicle charging: normal alternating current (AC) charging and fast direct current (DC) charging. Normal AC charging is typically less energy-intensive which makes it much slower. When you charge at home using a conventional plug or home EV charger, or even at some public stations, you will be using AC. Fast DC charging can be completed in under an hour and is typically only found at public charging stations.

    Normal charging with alternate current (AC).

    Home EV chargers typically provide up to 22 kW. The on-board charger converts AC into the DC energy that is stored in the vehicle's high voltage battery. Plugging into a regular home socket also charges with AC current.

  1. The fast-charging direct current charging symbol for the Hyundai electric vehicles.

    Fast-charging with direct current (DC).

    When charging with direct current (DC) the vehicle’s on-board charger is bypassed, so charging can be much faster. As a general rule of thumb, DC fast-charging is defined as everything in the range of 50 kW to 150 kW. 
  1. 1
  1. The ultra fast-charging direct current charging symbol for the Hyundai electric vehicles.

    Ultra-fast charging with direct current (DC).

    As a general rule of thumb, DC ultra fast-charging is defined as everything in the range of 150 kW to 350 kW. When connected to an ultra-fast 350kW charger, IONIQ 5 & IONIQ 6 are capable of charging from 10-80% in as little as 18-36 minutes. 1

Factors that affect charging times

Many factors affect how fast your car can charge:  the size and state of the battery, the charging rate of the vehicle as well as the charge point. Environmental factors also come into play, such as extreme cold or heat.

How long is your daily commute?

Set the bar according to your daily commute and calculate the number of days between charges.

Just as there is a range of factors that affect the fuel efficiency of an internal combustion engine (ICE), the total electric driving range will be affected by the size of the battery, your driving style, the outside temperature, any passengers you are carrying and more.

    Ohme

    Find out more about our recommended home EV charger provider

    A Hyundai KONA Electric on charge.

    The best way to minimise your electric car charge cost is to charge at home. 

    Hyundai recommend Ohme as our preferred home EV charger supplier.

    Ohme's unique tech integrates with all energy tariffs, including Intelligent Octopus and OVO Charge Anytime, so that you can charge at the cheapest and greenest times available. Running a Hyundai IONIQ 6 Single Motor RWD with its 77.4kWh battery (WLTP range: 338mls) and an Ohme smart charger on Intelligent Octopus Go*, for example, could cost £116.80 for a year for an average UK driver doing 6,800 miles. By comparison, charging on the Standard Variable Tariff would cost £451.62 for the same distance and an equivalent petrol car would be more than £1,200.

    Your local Hyundai Retailer can help you order 7.4 kW Ohme Home Pro or 7.4 kW Ohme ePod at a price, reserved to Hyundai customers.

    You may be also eligible for the EV chargepoint grant (1)⁠⁠⁠ to help you with your electric car charger installation cost if you own or rent a flat (you can get either £350 or 75% off the cost to buy and install a socket, whichever amount is lower.) Ohme team will help with this process too.

      *Maximum range according to WLTP combined cycle. Specification dependent. Actual range will vary depending on factors including road conditions, outdoor temperature, driving style, use of climate control and battery condition.

      **350kW ultra-fast charger required for quickest charge times - chargers are currently available on selected arterial routes – see Charge myHyundai map for details. Not currently available in Northern Ireland.

      Hyundai test data for comparison purposes. Actual time will vary and is dependent on several factors including battery temperature, condition and age, ambient temperature and the power provided by the charger. Charge time increases in cold weather and if battery temperature activates safeguarding technology.

      In optimal conditions, the latest IONIQ 5 is capable of accepting power at up to 260kW and IONIQ 6 at 239kW.
