Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Hyundai Ioniq Electric Gen 1 (2016-2019) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 88 kW (118 hp) of power and 218 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 9.5 seconds (ranked №561 out of 693 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 103 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Hyundai Ioniq Electric Gen 1 (2016-2019) falls between 114–140 miles, ranking it №607 out of 693 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

  • Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
  • Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
  • Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
  • Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Hyundai Ioniq Electric Gen 1 (2016-2019) 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 6.6 kW, resulting in approximately 27 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 69 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
