2016 hyundai sonata plug-in hybrid: a relief for range anxiety - lithium ion polymer battery
San Diego, California. —
Are you thinking about an electric car, but are you worried about getting stuck with your battery running out?
You're not alone.
It is called "range anxiety", which is the reason for the plugin
Hybrid cars attract buyers. A plug-
The hybrid car can be plugged into the home power supply to charge the battery to meet the daily commute.
When the battery runs out, it returns to hybrid-
An electric vehicle using an ordinary gasoline engine.
Hyundai will sell its first plug
In the car later this summer.
Sonata Plug-in Hybrid.
The price of its or regular Sonata Hybrid has not yet been announced, but it is expected to sell for about $6,000 to $7,000 more than the price of the top modelend Hybrid.
That means it could cost about $42,000.
Depending on which province you live in, it may be eligible for a government rebate. Its 9. 8 kWh lithium-

But Hyundai hopes there may be some room for maneuver in this recognition.
The battery pack gave the plug.
The pure electric range of Sonata is about 39 km kilometers.
It can be charged within 3 hours of the 240 V power point, or it can be charged for less than 9 hours on a regular 120 V power outlet.
Unlike standard hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles can only travel at a very short distance or under taxiing conditions, plug

When it really needs it, like using electricity in traffic on Don Valley Avenue.
"Charging" will transfer some energy from the gas engine to regenerate the main battery and can fully charge the flat main battery in less than an hour.
It uses some extra gas to do this, but that means the driver can leave home in kidina and just run through the city by electricity and charge on the highway.

The hybrid is best suited for drivers who mainly commute to the city, who can charge at work if necessary, but can also drive to the cottage or further on weekends.

The loaded version of the hybrid.
The company believes buyers who are willing to spend extra on electric vehicles will want the highest possible car prices.
Only a handful of dealers can offer services to electric vehicles, but the choice is growing steadily.
While natural gas is cheaper, the technology may be costly and difficult to justify at a price, but it won't go away.
Now is the future.
Inside, the car feels like a normal Sonata sedan, even though it's high

But when you step on the accelerator
Well, there is no gasoline when the car is in electric mode.
This is a 50 KW motor that produces maximum torque from a stationary state, so the tires will be chirping on asphalt and Sonata will pass through six gears like a racing car.
Maximum speed at all
The electric mode is 120 km/h.
No other electric vehicle has an automatic transmission.
They all have a continuously variable transmission, so it's like driving a fast golf cart with one gear.
Sonata Plug-
In hybrid cars, however, it's like driving a fast electric car --powered Sonata.
Not a complete silence.
There are some small external speakers that make a slight rumble so that pedestrians can hear it coming.
Otherwise, the only sound comes from the tires rolling on the road.
While it is quite different under the hood, there are only a few discreet differences compared to the ordinary mixed sonatas.
For example, there is no panoramic skylight because the glass is heavy and the extra weight consumes power.
There is no adjustable back headrest as there is an extra battery at the back of the back seat.
This reduced cargo space by 100 liters to 280 liters, but it is still nearly 50 liters higher than Ford Fusion Energi.
Another part of Sonata's battery is hidden in the wheel.
I drove part of this route last year --
Electric Kia Soul
On that smaller car, as we drove to our destination, I watched the central reading of the range of the vehicle drop, eventually arriving from a distance of 120 with only 8 kilometers of electricity left. Kilometers by car.

In Hybrid, I did the same thing, watching the electric range decrease as we navigate through the charging station marked on the map of the screen.
However, there is no anxiety.
On the contrary, after about 30 kilometers of pure
Electric driving, I switched the system to "charge" and the car turned into an ordinary hybrid car that drove nearly a thousand kilometers before it needed more gas.
The battery is automatically charged in less than an hour.
Of course, all of this magic comes at a cost, and when you buy a vehicle, whether it's in a showroom or in a service bay, you'll have to go back to the dealer for the easiest solution.
But if you really don't like to use gasoline, discharge contaminants, or just want a car that's fun to drive, the price can be worth it.
