Is Electric Right For Me?

REASONS TO DRIVE AN ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE 

There are many reasons to go electric: the driving experience, sustainability, and reduced emissions - explore everything about going electric and find out what kind of electrified powertrain best suits your lifestyle.


Nice and quiet
Nice and quiet
Due to their low-noise electric motors, electric vehicles produce minimal sound at lower speeds in contrast to their internal combustion counterparts.
Spacious
Spacious
Electric vehicles don't have a transmission like petrol or diesel cars. Not having a big centre tunnel or gear shifter inside the car lets us create a flat floor and more room for passengers. 
Agility
Agility
Electric vehicles are typically equipped with a single-speed reduction gear, so there's no more shifting. As a result, the ride is smooth and the response is almost instantaneous.
Performance
Performance
Electric vehicles provide a remarkable level of performance and agility. The absence of a 6-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine does not equate to being slower. EVs deliver instant torque and rapid acceleration. Despite the added weight of the battery, EVs exhibit swift acceleration from a standstill and maintain a seamless as well as consistent speed. 
Petrol/Diesel ban
Petrol/Diesel ban
The UK Government plans to ban all petrol and diesel vehicles in 2035. Getting an EV today has never been easier and will give you plenty of time to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of electric vehicle ownership
Operating costs
Operating costs
There may be financial benefits in making the switch to electric. While the purchase of an electric vehicle can be more expensive, the operating costs are typically lower. Unlike a petrol or diesel car, electric vehicles have fewer moving parts. This helps reduce the maintenance cost and likelihood of faults.

COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO ELECTRIC CARS: CHARGING AND RANGE EXPLAINED

There are two types of electric vehicle charging: normal alternating current (AC) charging and fast direct current (DC) charging. Normal AC charging is typically less energy-intensive which makes it much slower. When you charge at home using a conventional plug or home EV charger, or even at some public stations you will be using AC. Fast DC charging can be completed in  under an our and is typically only found at public charging stations.

  • Normal Charging with alternate current (AC)
  • Fast-charging with direct current (DC)
  • Ultra-fast charging with direct current (DC)
  • The normal alternating current charging symbol for the Hyundai electric vehicles.

    Home EV chargers typically provide up to 22 kW. The on-board charger converts AC into the DC energy that is stored in the vehicle's high voltage battery. Plugging into a regular home socket also charges with AC current. 
  • The fast-charging direct current charging symbol for the Hyundai electric vehicles.

    When charging with direct current (DC) the vehicle's on-board charger is bypassed, so charging can be much faster. As a general rule of thumb, DC fast-charging is defined as everything in the range of 50kW to 150kW.
  • The fast-charging direct current charging symbol for the Hyundai electric vehicles.
    As a general rule of thumb, DC ultra fast-charging is defined as everything in the range of 150kW to 350kW. When connected to an ultra-fast 350kW charger, IONIQ 5 & IONIQ 6 are capable of charging from 10-80% in as little as 18-36 minutes.

Ohme

Hyundai recommend Ohme as our preferred home EV charger supplier.
Ohme's unique tech integrates with all energy tariffs, including Intelligent Octopus and OVO Charge Anytime, so that you can charge at the cheapest and greenest times available. Running a Hyundai IONIQ 6 Single Motor RWD with its 77.4kWh battery (WLTP range: 338mls) and an Ohme smart charger on Intelligent Octopus Go*, for example, could cost £116.80 for a year for an average UK driver doing 6,800 miles. By comparison, charging on the Standard Variable Tariff would cost £451.62 for the same distance and n equivalent petrol car would be more than £1,200.

We can help you order 7.4 kW Ohme Home Pro or 7.4 kW Ohme ePod at a price, reserved to Hyundai customers. You may be also eligible for the EV chargepoint grant(1) to help you with your electric car charger installation cost if you own or rent a flat (you can get either £350 or 75% off the cost to buy and install a socket, whichever amount is lower.) Ohme team will help with this process too.

1. The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) replaced the Electric Vehicle Homecharge scheme (EVHS) with the new EV charge point grant. The Government grants are subject to full terms and conditions and eligibility may be revised or withdrawn at any time without prior notice. This information is correct as of December 2023.
