Report: Hyundai to offer quick-charge for its BlueOn EV

In a move that pushes electric vehicles into mainstream territory, Hyundai revealed its BlueOn electric vehicle in South Korea. What makes this vehicle remarkable is that it has two recharging capabilities: 220-volt household power and 380-volt industrial-strength power.

The BlueOn, which will be produced in a limited run in 2012, is capable of an 85-mile range. Hyundai said that a 220-volt charge takes six hours and that with 380 volts, the battery can be recharged to 80% of capacity in 25 minutes.
