Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Hyundai Ioniq Electric 38 kWh

The Hyundai Ioniq Electric 38 kWh achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 9.6 seconds (placing it at â„–438 among 572 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 103 mph.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 100 kW (134 hp) and a torque of 218 lb-ft.

Real-world range of Hyundai Ioniq Electric 38 kWh

Hyundai Ioniq Electric 38 kWh achieves a real-world range of 148–180 miles, placing it at №451 among 572 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

  • Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
  • Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

Hyundai Ioniq Electric 38 kWh charge port type?

The Hyundai Ioniq Electric 38 kWh in the USA comes with a CCS Type 1 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 7.2 kW, resulting in approximately 28 miles of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 44 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
