If you’re considering buying a Hyundai electric vehicle like the Hyundai IONIQ 5, this is a wise choice for many reasons. In addition to helping the planet, you will help yourself financially by never again needing gas. If this is your first time purchasing an EV, these tips will help you prepare for what’s next.
Consider the EV’s Driving Range
Different Hyundai EVs have different EPA-estimated driving ranges, and it’s important to know what these are before deciding which one to buy. The 2023 Hyundai Kona, for example, can go up to 258 miles when the battery is fully charged, while the 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 has a driving range of 361 miles.
Know Where to Charge Your Battery
Gas stations are everywhere, but finding a charging station for your EV can be trickier. This is why you need to know where the public charging stations are in and around Van Nuys or elsewhere along your route. Fortunately, the Hyundai Bluelink® app will help you locate them and help with other aspects of your EV’s power management.
Think About a Home Charging Station
To ensure that you can always charge up the battery in your EV, it could be wise to install a charging station in your home. Site concerns and some homes’ electrical systems can complicate matters, so you must speak to an electrician before doing anything. However, if your house can handle a Level 2 charger (a 240-volt outlet), you’ll have an excellent option for charging your vehicle overnight.
