  1. Hyundai electric model lineup

    Fully electric.

    Fully electric cars use zero combustible fuel, running solely off an electric battery, meaning your drive is tailpipe emission-free. This doesn't hinder performance as EVs also deliver an exciting drive with instant torque and acceleration from a standstill.

  1. Hyundai PHEV lineup.

    Plug-in hybrid.

    The best of both worlds. Recharged like a fully electric and refuelled like a combustion. Plug-in hybrids give you all the flexibility you need with the ability to seamlessly switch between the combustion engine and electric motor.

    Hybrid.

    With an internal combustion engine and electric motor, hybrids do all the work for you, naturally switching between the equipped electric motor and petrol engine. Charged by regenerative braking, hybrids don't require you to recharge your car, only refuelling at petrol stations.

    Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), is an automobile that runs purely on electricity and uses a rechargeable battery to power an electric motor. But there are several types of “electrified powertrains”. Electrified powertrains in our production cars include all-electric (BEV), hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and 48V mild hybrid (MHEV). Find out more in our “powertrains explained”.

    The charging time of an electric car varies depending on several factors such as the size of the battery, the charging power, and the type of charger used. Let's take the Hyundai IONIQ 5 as an example. Its 800V battery system and as a range of up to 354 miles2 long-range 84 kWh battery rear-wheel drive. It supports charging at up to 350 kW at a DC ultra-fast charging station.

    All our Hyundai electric vehicles are flexible when it comes to charging, you can charge at home overnight or top up at a fast charging station on the road.

    That said, if we take the Hyundai IONIQ 6 as an example, it gives you a driving range of up to 338 miles3 when equipped with the 77 kWh battery version (RWD) according to WLTP cycle.
