You've got charging questions. We've got answers.
With electrified vehicles you no longer have to rely on gas as the only source of power. In fact, electric and fuel cell models don’t use fossil fuel at all. Which is why two of the most important questions many shoppers ask is, “How do I keep my electrified vehicle charged?” and “How does it fit into my life?” We’re here to answer these questions and more.
What affects range
Outside temperature
As with gas vehicles, EVs are also affected by extreme temperatures. Both cold and very hot weather impact the battery’s performance, reducing range. Low temperatures also cause the tire pressure to drop, which means more rolling resistance.
Climate control
Running the A/C, heater, or using the heated seats can drain the battery. To conserve energy, pre-heat or pre-cool your EV while plugged in, which can be done remotely with the Hyundai Bluelink app.
Driving style
Aggressive driving such as quick acceleration and hard braking uses up more battery power. To maximize your range, try gradually increasing your speed and anticipating stops to slow down smoothly.
Speed
If you want to maximize range, moderate speeds are key. Higher speeds mean more wind resistance, which requires more power to compensate. This causes the motor(s) to heat up and become less efficient. Plus, the battery doesn't get as much charge back from regenerative braking.
Terrain
If your route goes through a hilly or mountainous area, your current range will drop faster than normal since driving uphill consumes more energy than traveling on level ground.
Other factors
An electric vehicle’s driving range is also impacted in a number of other ways, including the weight it's carrying, the tire pressure, and battery condition.

MPGe
What’s MPGe, exactly?
Making the switch from a gas to an electrified vehicle is a big decision. One great reason to go electric is lower overall energy costs. To make it easier to compare electric with gas models, the EPA created MPGe which stands for “miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent.”
As an example, here’s a comparison between the 2025 KONA Electric and our gas-powered KONA:
Range
2025 KONA Electric SE: 118 MPGe (EPA-est.)
2025 KONA SE (gas): Up to 31 MPG (combined)
Cost to travel 100 miles
2025 KONA Electric SE: $4.00 (at $0.14 per kWh)
2025 KONA SE (gas): $10.01 (at $3.10 per gallon)
You can also use MPGe to compare different types of electrified vehicles. For instance, 2025 IONIQ 5 SE Standard Range RWD has 114 Combined MPGe while 2025 TUCSON Plug-in Hybrid has 77 Combined MPGe.
Charging your Hyundai
Charger types
At home or on the go.
If you’re considering an EV or a plug-in hybrid, it’s important to understand the different types of chargers out there and how long each takes to power up your vehicle.
Level 1
The easiest home charging option—you simply plug into a standard 120V AC outlet with a portable Level 1 charging device. However, Level 1 charging takes significantly longer than other charging options.
Level 2
The faster way to charge at home. Level 2 charging requires specialized equipment that plugs into a 240V AC outlet, like Hyundai Home’s ChargePoint® Home Flex EV charger. Fully charging your vehicle can take as little as 7 hours depending on the model and various conditions.
Level 3
Found at public locations like charging stations and shopping centers—check charging capabilities in your area using our map link below. Using over 480 volts, DC fast chargers can take your vehicle from 10% to 80% in as little as 25-64 minutes, depending on model. Even better, a 350-kW, 800V DC ultra-fast charger can power up a 2025 IONIQ 6 from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes. And you get about 68 miles of range after 5 minutes of charging.

Getting charged has never been easier.
Charging convenience
Charging on the go that puts you in charge.
Charging your Hyundai on the road just got a whole lot easier. You get access to a bigger network, including Tesla Superchargers, an all-in-one Bluelink app that manages everything, and effortless Plug & Charge that makes payment a breeze.
Powering the future of electrification.
Hyundai and IONNA are rolling out a nationwide EV charging network designed for speed and simplicity. Plug and Charge technology and renewable power make it easy to stay on the move while driving toward a cleaner future.
Fuel cell charging
Electrified vehicles you fuel at the pump.
Fuel cell vehicles use an electric motor powered by hydrogen, allowing for fast, gas- like refueling in about five minutes.
Battery health
Smarter battery care. Longer battery life.
Rest assured, when it comes to your Hyundai EV’s lithium ion battery, you can always count on our 10-year/100,000-mile Limited Battery Warranty. For even more peace of mind, here’s how your battery stays healthy: 
Protect your battery from heat
During very hot weather, shaded spots or staying plugged in when parked help your vehicle’s thermal management system run more efficiently.
Ideal charging range
A 100% charge is there when you need it, but the optimal range for better battery life is between 25% and 75%.
Standard chargers
While DC fast chargers are great for road trips and saving time, for everyday charging, standard chargers are much better for your battery’s long-term health.
Timed chargers
Going on vacation? A timed charger helps keep your battery at an ideal charge level between 25-75% while you’re away.
Going electric with Hyundai.
Hyundai Home
Make your house as electrified as your electric vehicle. With Hyundai Home, you’ll have the power to take charge of your electricity with solar panels, energy storage systems and a 240-volt (Level 2) charger.
FAQ
Have questions about charging?
How long does it take to charge an EV?
The actual charging time varies based on a number of factors, including the vehicle model and trim, current battery charge level, output of the charging unit, vehicle and battery settings, and outside temperature. Level 1 is the easiest home charging option—you simply plug into a standard 120V AC outlet with the portable charging cable that comes with select Hyundai models. But it takes significantly longer than other charging options. Level 2 charging can fully charge your vehicle in as little as 4 hours 55 minutes (2025 KONA Electric SE Standard Range) depending on the model and various conditions. For Level 3 charging, DC fast chargers can take your vehicle from 10% to 80% in as little as 18-73 minutes, depending on model. Even better, a 350-kW, 800V DC ultra-fast charger can power up 2025 IONIQ 6 from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes.
How much does it cost to charge an electric vehicle?
The cost to charge an electric vehicle (EV) depends on several factors, including local electricity rates, the type of charger used, where you charge (home vs. public charging station), and the vehicle itself. To help you calculate your possible fuel savings by switching to an electric vehicle, please use our estimated savings calculator.
Do all electric cars use the same charger??
Not all electric vehicles use the same charger. Different charging connectors and standards are used by manufacturers and regions. To accommodate a variety of vehicles, public charging stations usually offer multiple connector types. For Level 1 charging via a standard 120V AC outlet, your Hyundai includes a Level 1 charging cable. However, a Level 2 charging cable is not included.
Can I charge at a Tesla charging station?
Starting with the 2025 IONIQ 5, Hyundai electric models will come equipped with NACS ports standard, enabling you to use Tesla Superchargers. Each 2025 IONIQ 5 will also come with a CCS adapter, so you can still charge at non-Tesla DC fast charging stations.
How many EV charging stations in the U.S.?
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, there are over 65,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the United States. Hyundai is joining seven other global automakers to build an unprecedented charging network. With BMW Group, General Motors, Honda, Kia, Mercedes-Benz Group, Stellantis NV, and Toyota—we’re installing at least 30,000 high-powered DC chargers across North America. Most importantly, our network will be open to anyone who drives electric. Learn more here.
