Hyundai Electric Vehicles
We're streamlining your journey to electrification.
Let the journey begin...
For us, electricity is more than a form of energy. It's an expansive vehicle lineup that has four different kinds of electrified powertrains. It's a complete range of energy products that helps you take charge of your home's electricity. It's an ingenious EV platform that's flexible enough to be used for our entire IONIQ series. Electricity powers our belief in the future, which is why our goal is for every Hyundai to be electrified by 2040.
There are so many questions surrounding EVs and what their environmental impact is or whether a hybrid is also classified as an electric vehicle. Let our specialist, Don Cullen help answer some of your most common EV questions.
Our electrified powertrains.
Electric
Using motors entirely powered by batteries, electric vehicles give you instant acceleration and nimble handling on the road. They also have bigger batteries than plug-in hybrids or hybrids. This means a much longer electric range—up to an EPA-estimated combined All-Electric Range of 303 miles for IONIQ 5 and 261 miles for KONA Electric. Regenerative braking helps extend the range.
The battery’s recharged by plugging into an outlet, with charging speed depending on the vehicle and type of charger. For instance, IONIQ 5 is capable of ultra-fast charging with an 800V DC charger, which makes it one of the quickest charging EVs. Plus, our KONA Electric Limited trim can power devices that need electricity with its "Vehicle-to-Load" recharge mode.

Plug-in Hybrid
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 440 miles with SANTA FE Plug-in Hybrid. The battery can be recharged with an electrical outlet, and regenerative braking helps extend driving range.

Hybrd
Hybrids use their gas engine and electric motor separately or together, depending on the speed. It’s why they tend to have better fuel efficiency than their gas-only counterparts. The motor’s battery is recharged by only the regenerative brakes, so there’s no need for you to plug in to an outlet.Explore hybrid models >
Electric, Plug-in Hybrid, and Hybrid Advantages
Find out why electric vehicles are generally more efficient and less expensive to own than cars that use only gas. Even then it still may not be a simple decision, so we'll explain other things to consider like MPGe and the actual costs of electricity.

Electric vs. Plug-In Hybrid vs. Hybrid: What's the difference?
Electric vs plug-in hybrid: What are the differences?
Electric vehicles use motors entirely powered by batteries, while plug-in hybrids use both a motor and gas engine. EVs have larger batteries than plug-in hybrids--which means longer all-electric range. Plug-in hybrids can go in all-electric mode for a shorter range compared to EVs but can then travel in hybrid mode.

Hybrid vs plug-in hybrid: What are the differences?
While both hybrids and plug-in hybrids use a battery-powered motor and a gas engine, plug-in hybrids have bigger batteries than hybrids, which provides you with the option of driving in all-electric mode for a limited range. So while both vehicles recharge with regenerative braking, plug-in hybrid batteries should be recharged with an outlet.

FAQs
Q: How do I qualify for an electric vehicle tax credit?
A: The amount of tax credit or incentives you qualify for depends on where you live. Click here to find Maine state incentives.
Q: How many electrified vehicles does Hyundai have?
A: The amount of tax credit or incentives you qualify for depends on where you live. Click here to find Maine state incentives.
Q: How many electrified vehicles does Hyundai have?
A: We currently have 9 electrified models in our lineup: 2 electric vehicles, 2 plug-in hybrids, 4 hybrids, and 1 fuel cell vehicle (not currently available other than in California).
Q: What warranties are available on Hyundai electrified vehicles?
A: Every new Hyundai comes with America's Best Warranty. Additionally, Hyundai electrified vehicles include a 10-year/100,000-Mile Limited Battery Warranty.
Q: How can I find local electrified vehicles for sale?
A: Shop electrified Hyundai models on our Inventory search page for availability and pricing.
Q: Which vehicles get carpool sticker access?
A: Several states allow electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and fuel cell vehicles to qualify for carpool.
Q: What is regenerative braking?
A: During braking or coating, regenerative braking turns the wheels' rotations into electricity, which is then stored in the battery. IONIQ 5, KONA Electric, and NEXO Fuel Cell have control paddles behind the steering wheel, which let you choose from different levels of regenerative braking.
Q: How do I calculate fuel savings by switching to an EV?
A: To help show you your possible savings by switching to an electric vehicle, please use our estimated savings calculator.
