Can Electric Cars Really Make a 250 Mile Journey Without Recharging? Well, Hyundai seem to think so!
Hyundai could be set to be the next big name in the world of electric vehicles if they can deliver what they are proposing. Their mega plan is to introduce a whole range of green models including plug-ins, hybrids, and hydrogen fuel celled cars (26 different in total) by 2020. The South Korean multinational automotive manufacturer is also planning to unveil a revolutionary electric vehicle that could travel up to 250 miles on one single charge. That is a pretty amazing feat by anyone’s standards!
Rival manufacturers Chevy and Tesla are both competing in the same race as Hyundai, but both of those are reaching for the 200-mile mark opposed to the 250 milestones. But, Hyundai is already on par with them on this level also as they are set to market a 200-mile electric vehicle for 2018, which was recently revealed by ‘top boss,’ Hyundai’s director, Byung Ki Ahn.

So, the automotive world as we know it could all be set to change in the next few years. Will Hyundai revolutionize the electric vehicle market and could we see diesel and petrol cars become a thing of the past? Many people will be adamant that this could only be a good thing as there will be less noise, less pollution, and running costs will be much lower. However, there is also the other side of the coin, where people who enjoy driving for different reasons may miss the sound, smell, and feel of an ‘old school’ engine. What will happen in the future is yet to be determined, so watch this space!
