Hyundai BlueOn

The Hyundai BlueOn was a limited-production five-door hatchback battery electric city car built by Hyundai Motor Company in 2009 and 2010, the company's first production electric car. According to Hyundai its all-electric range was 140 km and its top speed was over 130 km/h. It was based on the first generation i10, a model not sold in South Korea, and qualified for the South Korean light car category through its small exterior dimensions. The prototype, an electric version of the i10, was first shown at the International Motor Show Germany in Frankfurt in 2009, and the pre-production model followed in Seoul in September 2010, when the first of 30 units went to South Korean government agencies for field testing. A 16.4 kWh lithium polymer battery charges in six hours from a 220 V outlet. Hyundai planned 2,500 units by the end of 2012, with sales limited to the South Korean market.
