Charge Up! Hyundai's New Electric Truck Cuts Charging Time to Just 32 Minutes

Hello.

I am Uniji (Yuka Post), an influencer in the automotive sector.

Hyundai Motor has unveiled the '2025 Porter2 Electric,' aiming to lead the domestic small electric truck market and strengthen its leadership in the electric commercial vehicle sector. This new model actively addresses customer feedback on issues identified in previous versions and is set to compete head-to-head with rival vehicles like the Kia Bongo EV and Chevrolet Bolt EV.

The most significant change in the 2025 Porter2 Electric is its revolutionary improvement in charging speed. Reflecting customer complaints about slow charging, Hyundai increased the battery charging current, reducing the fast charging time from 47 minutes to just 32 minutes. This speed is notably faster than the Kia Bongo EV, which features a new high-performance 60.4 kWh lithium-ion battery providing a driving range of 135 miles (217 km). The new battery cells maximize operational efficiency by enhancing weight reduction and energy density. (Based on 100 kW fast charging)

Additionally, Hyundai added LED lighting to the charging port and optimized the ground clearance to significantly enhance nighttime charging convenience and vehicle usability. The 2025 Porter2 Electric also addresses the inconvenience caused by low battery ground clearance on unpaved rural roads by raising it by 0.4 inches (10 mm) and adding LED lights at the top of the charging port for better visibility during nighttime charging.

Furthermore, Hyundai introduced an economically rationalized trim called 'Style Special' for the 2025 Porter2 Electric, priced at 32,500 USD (4,325,000 KRW), which is 1.35 million KRW cheaper than the Smart Special. This trim is expected to resonate well with cost-conscious customers while maintaining essential features and offering excellent value for money.

The selling prices for the 2025 Porter2 Electric are as follows: ▲Style Special 32,500 USD (4,325,000 KRW) ▲Smart Special 33,500 USD (4,460,000 KRW) ▲Premium Special 34,000 USD (4,620,000 KRW). Additionally, Hyundai will launch a tailored program called 'EV Biz Care' for Porter2 Electric customers, allowing them to choose benefits based on local charging infrastructure challenges, including a 500 USD credit, home charger installation, or additional charging support services. They will also implement a fire safety program that compensates up to 100 million KRW (approximately 75,000 USD) and offer annual free inspections for ten years through the 'Blue Safe Inspection' program.

As a result, with its rapid charging speed, high economic efficiency, and excellent service, the Porter2 Electric aims to establish Hyundai Motor as the frontrunner in the electric small truck market. A Hyundai spokesperson stated, "With faster charging speeds, practicality, safety, and outstanding product quality, we expect the 2025 Porter2 Electric to provide customers with enhanced business opportunities." We appreciate your valuable feedback in the comments, and we wish you a joyful and happy day as we conclude this post.
