I own the lower trim Ariya and love it. Range was the biggest concern when shopping for an EV. I get 485 mile range on a full charge in the summer and 311 in the winter.

Those are incredible numbers! Good call on the lower trim package. Do you drive highway or back roads for that kind of mileage? -20 weather or milder temps?

@@livewirereview I was shocked by the numbers too! I live in upstate NY so winters can be harsh. I mainly drive city and highway. Its in Eco all the time, e-Pedal step on and I drive in B mode for the regen braking (tip from another KZreadr).

That's excellent! We took the short range in the winter rated for 350km and only got 295km. It's a great car, we're a little surprised to have 2 in stock right now at our Nissan store.

@@livewirereview Yep. My local Nissan dealership has two in stock as well. No one seems to want them.

I have the Ioniq and for me the charging speed was the main factor because I live in rent and I don't have a home charger

Excellent reasoning! I always look at how fast a car can charge when on the road. Check out our latest IONIQ 6 review, it charges in 18 min and goes almost 600km!

The Mach E looks the best IMO

It drives very nicely, too. Very planted without wheelspin.

You should run a cold weather convoy style range test for these vehicles

And yet we have 2 in stock at our Nissan store.. I agree, great car!

Add in the base version of the Cadillac Lyriq and things get even more interesting.

We will try to get our hands on one. Great idea!

That's crazy yet cool that all 3 have notably different battery sizes, YET, very similar ranges in the winter. Can you explain the different cooling / heating systems and how they work, basically?

@livewirereview

Yes of course! The Ioniq 5 will draw any small amount of heat created by using a/c in reverse to transfer and amplify the heat to a useable level in the cabin. Because it draws from the liquid cooling system around the battery, inverters, charger, motors, etc... it has a lot of small sources of heat. The Ariya uses a more basic heat pump that draws from an air to air condenser (evaporator in this case for heating) and is limited in how much heat can be drawn from cold air flowing over it. Therefore it is limited to around -10 in most cases with the resistive heater making up for when the heat pump is lacking in output. The Mach-E has none of these and strictly uses a high powered element like a hair dryer in your home to create heat. This uses a lot of energy.

Nissan Ariya has version w dual motor AWD same performance and most features as Platinum here for $7000 less 😊

That's definitely the one to buy! The Engage was already loaded to begin with.

I appreciate your observations and preferences. The Mustang has s-l-o-w DCFC, but I do like its BlueCruise. The Ariya does not have one-pedal driving all the way down to a complete stop. Since we do not have kids at home anymore, my wife and I would thus opt for the Ioniq 5, but in the Limited edition with AWD. Sooner or later, Hyundai will figure out how to adapt to NACS, I have no doubt.

I would also choose the Hyundai and I believe the engineers are working on adapting to the Tesla network as we speak. Once all the automakers join this network then every EV will be able to get across the country with ease. We recently took a trip to PEI, (kzread.info/dash/bejne/p5uHrZeDosK9lco.html) and it was very easy with the Tesla network as a backup when going through the Eastern provinces. I also agree with your one pedal observation. I found the one pedal driving in these vehicles hard to get used to despite the fact that I use it everyday in the model 3. I find that the accelerator pedal is "loose", not the best word but it describes why it feels awkward. Especially in the Mach E. The Tesla products have a stiff pedal which makes it easier to rest your foot in one place and have better control over deceleration rate. I look forward to hearing when you finally receive your Ioniq 5! Thanks for the comments. :-)

Hyundai and Ford 💪🏽❤❤

That is correct. Everywhere else uses a type 2 connector, so implementing superchargers in the rest of the world is easy.
