What Happens When You Buy an EV?

Are you thinking of switching to an electric car? Just imagine the peace of mind and savings that come from saying goodbye to the pumps and oil changes while also helping create sustainability. However, when you cruise with a Hyundai electric vehicle (EV), your drive feels and works differently when compared to a traditional gas engine. Thankfully, we’re here to help you set your expectations and walk you through the switch. For a firsthand feel of electric excellence, stop by Hyundai of Fort Myers near Bonita Springs, FL, and test drive the Hyundai IONIQ 5.

Is Range Ever an Issue? How Far Can You Travel?

When it comes to cruising with an EV, the first question most drivers ask involves the range—however, once you get the hang of how your battery works, you’ll quickly find the range distance is usually no more of an issue with an EV than with a petrol-powered vehicle. After all, models like the IONIQ 5 can reach up to EPA-estimated 303 miles on a full charge, which is usually enough to run your errands around town and make a couple roundtrip commutes before needing to recharge.

If you need to make a road trip, range anxiety can still be mostly non-existent as 800V DC quick charging stations are located throughout the country—and the IONIQ 5 can recharge from 10 to 80% in as little as 18 minutes, which is faster than the time it takes to stream an episode of your favorite TV show or grab a few groceries while you wait.

Smooth Sailing to Come—But Is It Better Than Gas?

One feature instantly sets an EV apart from a gas engine—instant torque. This means the instant you push the accelerator to the floor, you’ll feel an exhilarating blast off that propels you to city speeds rapidly, helping you make a yellow light in time, turn left at a busy intersection with confidence, or pick up speed to enter a highway with finesse. On top of the instant torque, your transmission is a single-speed automatic, which means you won’t need to fumble with a gearbox to enjoy the drive—and as you pick up speed or decelerate, you’ll feel extra smoothness without a jerky sensation.
