About Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles near Columbus OH


Hyundai continues to produce electric vehicles (EVs) near Columbus, Ohio, that stand out among the crowd of other EVs. You’ll find all-electric models and hybrid ones that can be your entry into another world of driving.

To learn more about each kind of EV, count on Germain Hyundai of Columbus to tell you more in this quick guide.

About Our Electric Vehicles

We proudly present the Hyundai all-electric lineup. These include Kona Electric, IONIQ 5, IONIQ 5 N, and IONIQ 6.* They’re built for efficiency so that you can get to the game at Ohio Stadium on time and not worry about stopping for gas along the way. Just charge and go.

If you prefer the midway between all-electric and gas-powered, consider these hybrid models. They include the Elantra, Santa Fe, Sonata, and Tucson. Plug-in hybrid models, such as the Santa Fe and Tucson, round out the lineup of these gateway vehicles.

Why Drive Electric?

Electric vehicles (EVs) represent the next step in automotive innovation, combining sustainability, technology, and performance into one package. Hyundai’s EV lineup is designed for drivers who want to reduce emissions without sacrificing style or power.

Models like the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 deliver thrilling acceleration, smooth handling, and impressive driving ranges, all without a drop of gasoline.

EVs rely on an electric motor powered by a rechargeable battery pack. This eliminates the need for oil changes and traditional engine maintenance, saving you time and money over the life of your vehicle. Additionally, with the increasing number of public charging stations throughout Columbus, charging has become easier than ever.

If you’re commuting downtown or heading out toward the suburbs, you can enjoy quiet, responsive driving and zero tailpipe emissions.

What’s the Difference Between Hybrid and Electric Vehicles?

Electric vehicles only use an electric motor paired with a battery pack to get to your destination. They can be charged at a public charging station, or you may prefer to get a charging station installed in your home. As charging stations continue to pop up near Cap City, you’ll find it’s easy to stop by on your way to work or another place you need to be.

Hybrid vehicles combine a gas-powered engine, an electric motor, and a battery pack for power. You can switch between the power sources, depending on the drive you plan to take.

For instance, if you’re going a long distance and traveling on I-70, you’ll want to put the pedal to the metal and use your gas engine. If you’re going for a quick trip to your local grocery store, rely on the electric motor and battery pack for convenience. While you’re driving with either powertrain at the helm, the regenerative braking builds energy to go back to the battery.

Buying an EV Online

Your hunt for an EV can start right within our inventory. Select the electric fuel type or hybrid if that’s what you’re looking for, and your screen will show all the current Hyundai models available.

Since we have several EVs, it’s best to pare down your prospects by using the filters. These filters can pinpoint exactly which cars are best suited to your lifestyle. Perhaps you’re looking for a compact SUV like the Kona Electric. When you choose different features from the menu, this can help you determine if you should stick with that model or switch to an IONIQ model.

EV Financing Tools and Resources

Just as our dealership offers a range of gas-powered, hybrid, and electric vehicles to cater to the diverse needs of our customers, we also provide a variety of finance plans. To determine which strategy works best for you, consult with a finance advisor at our dealership.

When you’re ready to bring home an electric vehicle, our team provides online tools and expert resources to simplify the financing process. For example, we offer a trade-in value tool that lets you see what your current vehicle may be worth, which can help you apply that value toward your new EV purchase.

If you’re new to financing an electric vehicle, our advisors can explain available tax incentives, rebates, and state or federal EV credits that may reduce your overall cost.

Before you do anything, however, ensure that you apply for financing on-site.

Electric Vehicle Finance and Lease Offers

We regularly feature electric vehicle finance and lease offers to make going electric more affordable. These special offers can include low annual percentage rates (APRs), flexible lease terms, and competitive down payments on popular models such as the Hyundai Kona Electric, IONIQ 5, and IONIQ 6.

Leasing an EV may be the right choice if you enjoy upgrading to the latest technology every few years, whereas financing lets you build long-term ownership and equity. Our team will guide you through both options, allowing you to make an informed decision.

We also encourage shoppers to take advantage of Hyundai’s EV incentives, which may include bonus cash or special lease pricing for qualified buyers. We offer updates frequently, so check back often or contact our finance department to learn about the latest deals available near Columbus, OH.

FAQs

Can I install a charging station at home?

Do electric vehicles require less maintenance?
