Hyundai Electric Cars

There are several Hyundai electric cars for eco-conscious and family-centric Americans to choose from. Hyundai’s modern cars are appreciated for their build quality and good reliability standards, which wasn't always the case. After forming a reputation for mass-producing cheap, low-quality cars that were prone to breaking down, Hyundai had to amend their tarnished reputation by significantly improving the quality of its cars. To proclaim this betterment to the market, Hyundai ensured peace of mind and confidence in its vehicles by offering the most extensive warranty coverage in the industry.

2021 Hyundai Electric Car Range

Though relatively short, the full list of Hyundai EVs is made up of some really decent models:

• Ioniq Electric - The most affordable offering from the Hyundai EV range, the Ioniq Electric subcompact hatchback offers eco-conscious drivers an adequate EV at a relatively low cost. It’s equipped with an AC electric motor and 38.3 kWh lithium-ion battery that accord it with a rather brief 170 miles of driving range but a green and emissions-free 145/121/133 MPGe city/highway/combined.
• Kona Electric - The Kona Electric is a front-wheel-drive, subcompact crossover SUV that offers surprisingly enjoyable drive characteristics thanks to a 201-horsepower, 291-lb-ft electric powertrain that punts it from 0 to 60 mph in a peppy 6.4 seconds. It’s ideal for driving around in the city, and it is good for up to 258 miles and 132/108/120 MPGe. Despite its small size, the Kona is really spacious and even quite practical, making it the perfect eco-friendly city runabout.
• Nexo Fuel Cell - The Nexo Fuel Cell is actually a hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicle, which means it’s run on a combination of electricity and hydrogen. Performance is lackluster at best but the Nexo is all about comfort and efficiency, delivering strong yet smooth acceleration at city driving speeds and remaining plush and compliant on the road. In terms of efficiency, the base model of the Nexo is expected to supply 354 miles of range on a full tank of hydrogen and is given an EPA-estimated 65/58/61 MPGe.
• Ioniq 5 - The Ioniq 5 is one of Hyundai’s all-new electric cars. It sports a futuristic and attractively minimalist design that proclaims its EV status. That ethos is carried through to the luxury interior, too, which is brimming with contemporary specs and technologies. This includes a 12.3-inch digital driver display and infotainment touchscreen, and heated and reclining front seats with leg rests. Hyundai claims the Ioniq 5 will deliver up to 300 miles of range on a single charge.
