The 2016 Sonata Plug-in Hybrid comes with a high-capacity
lithium-polymer hybrid battery system that delivers an all-electric
range of 27 miles before switching to hybrid mode. The Sonata
Plug-in Hybrid also comes with a lifetime hybrid battery
warranty.
The AeroVironment 240-volt TurboCord and the EVSE-RS charging
station can charge the Sonata Plug-in Hybrid in less than three
hours versus the approximate nine hours needed using a standard
120-volt charging cable. AeroVironment’s UL-listed products can be
installed indoors or outdoors, making it easy to locate the station
in the most convenient location.
”Having your own charging station right in your garage or
driveway gives Hybrid and EV drivers a special kind of freedom. It
makes charging a car as easy as charging a cell phone,” said Ken
Karklin, AeroVironment senior vice president and general manager of
its Efficient Energy Systems business segment. “AeroVironment’s
portfolio of EV charging solutions gives the Hyundai Sonata Plug-in
Hybrid and other EVs the benefits and convenience of faster
charging and cleaner driving at home and on the road.”
Hyundai owners can purchase AeroVironment home chargers and
installation when purchasing their vehicles at the Hyundai
dealership. AeroVironment-certified, licensed electricians, who are
also specially qualified to support EV drivers, perform on-site
installation and services.
AeroVironment is the preferred integrated home charging solution
supplier for seven global automakers and their growing fleets of
plug-in electric vehicles. The company’s broad line of charging
systems includes the 240-volt TurboCord and the EVSE-RS home
charging station, which can be ordered online. More information on
