EV Range & Batteries

Preston Hyundai proudly offers a robust selection of electric vehicles equipped with cutting-edge battery technology designed to keep you moving further and longer. Hyundai EVs boast impressive ranges, letting you conquer daily commutes and weekend adventures with ease. While official numbers provide a good starting point, it's important to remember that real-world range can vary based on factors like driving habits, weather conditions, and use of climate control. The longevity of an EV battery depends on several factors, including charging habits and overall vehicle care. However, technological advancements in batteries have resulted in significant improvements. Most major manufacturers, including Hyundai, offer warranties on their EV batteries. Hyundai covers them for ten years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. This provides peace of mind, knowing your battery is protected in the long run. At Preston Hyundai, our knowledgeable staff can address any questions you have about EV battery life and lifespan. We're committed to helping you find the perfect electric vehicle that aligns with your driving needs and environmental goals.

EV Service & Maintenance

While electric vehicles offer a more streamlined driving experience compared to gasoline-powered cars, proper EV maintenance is still integral for optimal performance and longevity. We are committed to the importance of keeping your Hyundai running smoothly, and our certified technicians are equipped to handle all your EV service and maintenance needs. Unlike gasoline vehicles, EVs require less frequent maintenance due to the absence of an engine and oil to change. However, routinely scheduled inspections are still recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety. These inspections typically involve checking the high-voltage battery, cooling system, tires, brakes, and cabin air filter. Our service team utilizes specialized diagnostic tools and genuine Hyundai parts to ensure your EV receives the highest quality care. Beyond scheduled service, EV maintenance in your daily routine is essential. This includes practicing responsible charging habits, such as avoiding extreme temperatures and opting for slower charging when possible to prolong battery life. Additionally, maintaining proper tire pressure and regularly inspecting for wear and tear on essential components like brakes and wipers are crucial for ensuring a safe and enjoyable driving experience. At Preston Hyundai, we're committed to empowering you to make the most of your Hyundai EV. Our service department is readily available to address any questions you have about EV maintenance and care, providing you with the knowledge and resources to keep your electric vehicle running smoothly for years to come. Schedule your EV service appointment online today at your earliest convenience!

Charging Your EV

Embarking on your electric journey with a Hyundai EV means understanding and utilizing the various charging options available. We're committed to making the transition seamless, providing you with the information and resources you need to keep your EV charged and ready to go. There are two main charging categories: home charging and public charging. Home charging offers convenience and flexibility. You can install a Level 2 charger in your garage or driveway, significantly reducing charging time compared to Level 1 chargers, which use a standard household outlet. This option is ideal for overnight charging, ensuring your EV is fully charged for your daily needs. Our team can guide you through the process of choosing a Level 2 charger compatible with your Hyundai model and connect you with experts equipped to install your home charger. Public charging stations are conveniently located throughout cities and along major highways. These stations offer various charging speeds, with Level 2 being the most common. Using mobile apps allows you to easily locate nearby stations, check their availability, and even initiate charging remotely on compatible models. As with any technology, staying informed is key. Our knowledgeable staff is here to answer all your questions about EV charging, from understanding different charging levels and their impact on charging times to navigating local public charging networks. We're dedicated to empowering you to make the most of your Hyundai electric vehicle!

EV Environmental Benefits

Choosing a Hyundai electric vehicle is not just a technological leap; it's a conscious decision towards a cleaner future. By opting for an EV, you're contributing significantly to promoting a more sustainable environment. One of the most impactful benefits of owning an EV is the elimination of tailpipe emissions. Unlike gasoline-powered vehicles, EVs produce zero emissions during operation, directly reducing air pollution and its associated health risks. This is especially crucial in urban areas where air quality can be a major concern. Looking beyond individual vehicles, the widespread adoption of EVs has the potential to transform the energy landscape, encouraging investment in renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. As the electric grid becomes cleaner, the environmental benefits of EVs will become even more pronounced. Choosing a Hyundai EV isn't just about driving a car; it's about making a positive impact on the planet for generations to come.

EV Affordability

Transitioning to an electric vehicle is a costly endeavor at first glance. However, at Preston Hyundai, we want to assure you that owning a Hyundai EV can be affordable, especially when considering the long-term savings compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. While the initial purchase price of an EV might be higher than its gasoline counterpart, the benefits over time can outweigh the initial cost difference. Fueling an EV is significantly cheaper than filling your gas tank. The cost per mile of electricity is considerably lower than the cost per gallon of gasoline, leading to substantial savings over the years, especially with rising fuel prices. Additionally, many states offer tax incentives and exclusive credits for purchasing an EV, further reducing the overall cost of ownership. EVs also require less maintenance as they lack complex engine components like oil filters and spark plugs, leading to fewer scheduled service appointments and reduced maintenance costs. Our team can assist you in understanding the available government incentives and tax credits to maximize your savings. Don't let the initial cost deter you from experiencing the future of transportation. Visit Preston Hyundai and explore our range of affordable Hyundai SUVs and sedans. We're confident you'll find the perfect electric vehicle that fits your budget and environmental goals.
