The future is electric! Undoubtedly, the entire auto industry is moving towards all-electric vehicles. Hyundai understands this and that's why the Hyundai electric car promises to provide consumers with a powerful, stylish alternative to gas-powered vehicles. One concern for many people considering electric vehicles, such as the Hyundai IONIQ Electric, is where to charge it. This is understandable of course, and it hasn't always been easy. That said, as more automakers introduce EVs, more EV charging locations will become available.

Benefits of Hyundai EVs

Before we get to charging stations, it's good to review the many benefits that come with owning an electric vehicle. The first consideration is financial and that's a big own for most people. Currently, in the US, the average household allocates roughly ⅕ of its annual income for transit. However, an EV can save that same household as much as $1000 every year. In fact, the cost of charging a 60-kilowatt-hour EV is often less than $8. Another benefit it that energy prices are typically much less volatile than oil prices. Maintenance costs are less as well and the cost is also competitive.

EV Charging Locations

The next logical question is, where do I charge Hyundai EVs? Right now, in 2023, there are over 166,000 charging stations in the US. That includes Level 2 and Level 3 EV charging ports and that number will only go up as the number of EVs on US roads approaches two million. Some analysts predict that number could go as high as 28 million by the end of this decade so charging stations will have to meet that demand. In the city of Chicago right now there are over 600 charging ports with many others located throughout Chicagoland with five right here in Algonquin.

Hyundai Electric Vehicles

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is powered entirely by a battery with no gas engine needed. Same for the all-electric Kona. Of course, the automaker also offers plug-in hybrids or hybrids for vehicles such as the Hyundai Tucson SUV and the Sonata sedan. Both the IONIQ and the Kona get to a full charge fast using an 800V DC charger which is among the fastest charging speeds available.
