If you’re transitioning to an electric vehicle (EV), a Hyundai EV from Mike Miller Hyundai should top your list. If misconceptions about EVs are holding you back, we’re happy to shine a light on the facts and show you how models like the Hyundai IONIQ 5 are bringing the future of driving to Peoria drivers’ garages. Let’s debunk three of the most persistent EV myths.
EV Models Are Expensive
The technology in today’s electric vehicles is better and more efficient than ever before. That means the cost of these vehicles from years or decades ago is much different than it is today. Not only are the cars more affordable, but you’ll also save on fuel costs when you drive an EV, which can add up.
EVs Can’t Go Far Without Recharging
A new powertrain calls for some minor adjustments, but modern EVs have a range similar to vehicles with internal combustion engines. It’s helpful to research and find out if you can charge at work or school, but you can drive far without stopping to charge.
I Can’t Charge My Vehicle at Home
There are three different levels of EV chargers. Level 1 is standard 120-volt current; it’s useable but slow. A 240-volt Level 2 charging station at home lets you charge faster (you’ll want an electrician to handle the installation).
You can also charge while you're out and about. Level 2 chargers are the most common public chargers, but there’s a faster option too. A Level 3 DC Fast Charger gets you to a full charge in minutes rather than hours, and they’re easy to find with the MyHyundai® app.
