How To Charge Your New Hyundai EV And More
Looking to learn how to charge your new Hyundai electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle? Find all the information you need and more about the new Hyundai EV, plug-in hybrids, and our Hyundai EV charging stations. For starters, both the Hyundai EV and plug-in hybrid offer up to three different charging speeds, which we’ve listed below.
Not sure what makes each of these charging levels unique? Let’s break them down.
- Level 1 Charging—often referred to as portable charging. This level is the slowest of the three levels. It uses a 120 volt AC household electrical current, perfect for overnight charging for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, but may take up to 70 hours to fully charge a Hyundai EV depending on battery size.
- Level 2 Charging—using a 240 volt AC electrical current, this level is up to eight times faster than level 1! This level requires a 240 volt charger, which is typically provided in an EV home charging unit or available at a public charging station. This level can take up to 7.5 hours to reach fully charged depending on the size of your vehicle’s battery.
- Level 3 Charging—otherwise known as DC Fast Charging—is the fastest charging solution. Using an industrial level electrical current ranging from 480 to 800 volts, these high-powered charging units are available at public or commercial charging stations. With a charge rate ranging from 50 to 350 KW, this charging level can charge your battery up to 80% in less than one hour!
It’s important to note that all Hyundai electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are compatible with level 1 and level 2 charging, while level 3 charging is compatible solely with electric vehicles.
The time it will take to fully recharge your battery will vary depending on a number of factors. Here are some helpful details about your Hyundai EV or Plug-in hybrid that may help you determine your vehicle’s charging rate, speed, and needs, including:
- When using level 3 charging, your vehicle controls the charge rate so as to maintain your battery’s temperature and voltage.
- Upon reaching 80%, the charge rate significantly reduces to protect your battery’s lifespan and may increase the time needed to fully recharge.
- It is important to stay up to date on what is going on in your local area, since public charging stations may reduce their maximum charging power due to current conditions in their area
