Many Hyundai electric vehicles for sale offer enhanced fuel efficiency and impressive all-electric range. Proper maintenance and charging can extend their lifespan. Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River has prepared this guide with essential EV ownership tips to consider.
Range and At-Home Charging
Most Hyundai electric vehicles can travel an EPA-estimated range of over 250 or 300 miles on a full charge. Level 1 Charging lets you recharge your vehicle’s battery using a standard 120-volt wall outlet, reaching full capacity within 24 to 48 hours. Level 2 Charging uses a 240-volt AC circuit, letting you fully charge your battery in seven to nine hours. Actual charging times will vary depending on vehicle, battery size, and equipment.
EV Maintenance
Hyundai EVs require less frequent maintenance than gas-powered models since they have fewer moving parts. During an EV battery inspection, technicians evaluate the condition and performance of the high-voltage battery and related systems to help ensure proper operation and charging performance. Replacing your coolant can help prevent the battery pack from overheating. Other essential maintenance tasks include suspension inspections, tire rotations, and brake inspections.
Preserving Battery Longevity
Charging your vehicle to 80 percent helps you avoid stressing its battery cells. Parking in a garage or in the shade can reduce the battery’s exposure to extreme temperature conditions. Other ways to preserve battery longevity include avoiding rapid acceleration and minimizing fast charging.
Long Trip Planning and Public Charging
When planning a long trip, map out your route to familiarize yourself with nearby public charging stations. Use DC Fast Charging for quick top-offs and public Level 2 Charging when you’re near hotels or nearby attractions. We also recommend fully charging your vehicle before your trip to avoid frequent stops.
