Electric Vehicles from Hyundai: What to Know
Do you want to own an electric vehicle for travel around the Inland Empire and Fontana? Then come to Ontario Hyundai, where our friendly staff can go over the advantages of the fastest-growing automotive market segment.
Ontario Hyundai has a huge inventory of electric vehicles like the Hyundai IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6 and Kona. All of these vehicles have new technology, and luxury features like the Hyundai Digital Key, leather trimmed seats, and touchscreen navigation. There are great options on all of the models.
How can you lower the pricing?
While the costs of owning an electric vehicle (EV) have been dropping, you can lower the amount that you pay even further by taking advantage of state incentives to switch to this high-tech form of transportation. California residents who meet income requirements can qualify for up to a $7,500 rebate for buying or leasing a plug-in hybrid electric, battery electric, or fuel-cell electric. These rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis and require that you apply at the Clean Vehicle Rebate website.
Electric vehicles emit no carbon dioxides or harmful substances from a non-existent tailpipe. Over their lifetime, they produce fewer greenhouse gasses even when manufacturing, charging, and driving are considered, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Electric motors are also quieter than their internal-combustion counterparts, reducing noise pollution and creating a more peaceful environment.
Fuel Freedom
One of the joys of owning an EV is that you never have to visit a gas station again, endure long lines to get to a pump, deal with surly attendants, or risk having cash stolen from you when you use your ATM or credit card on card readers that may have been compromised. Powering up can be as simple as plugging into either your home outlet or in a public charging station while you go shopping or watch a movie. You also free yourself and help alleviate the country from the price fluctuations of oil caused by domestic and international tensions.
Less Maintenance
Electric motors, batteries, and related electronics have significantly fewer moving parts than a gasoline engine, which means little to no regular main maintenance is needed. The fluids, such as engine oil and transmission fluid, that a conventional vehicle needs to lubricate its components are absent from EVs, which removes oil and filter changes from your scheduled service. Finally, regenerative braking reduces wear on the brakes, which gives your braking components a longer lifespan.
Unlike with earlier models, modern EVs have batteries that are designed to last from 100,000 to 200,000 miles or an estimated 15 to 20 years. You’ll barely notice a change in your range when these batteries age because their initial capacity is large, and the losses in that capacity are minor as they age.
What little maintenance is left, you can trust the factory-certified automotive technicians at our Service Department, who are expertly familiar with what your Hyundai Kona Electric or Hyundai Ioniq 5 or 6 requires. We rely only on Hyundai-vetted parts to make any fixes to ensure that your EV runs well for as long as you own it.
