Our AWD Ioniq 6 with 18" wheels gets 14 - 14.5 kWh/100km highway summer driving here in mountainous BC, Canada. I have driven the Tesla Model 3 (2021) and the Ioniq drives better, smoother, quieter and I like the console better. That being said, the Tesla seems quicker and the software and the charging network are better. The Ioniq 6 drives better and has very good efficiency.

Borrowed my friend's Model 3 for 3 weeks and decided to purchase the Ioniq 6. My main reasons is the Ioniq 6 has buttons and knobs exactly where a normal car would have them (except for the shifter on the steering wheel instead of the middle console) because trying to get my father, father in law and non-tech savy sister in law to feel comfortable with the Model 3 was too much of a hassle and not having access to Android Auto/Apple Carplay made it more annoying to use the tablet to get things done. Also having the Hyundai dealership offer the $7500 fed rebate up front for leasing (Tesla sales person tried to steer me to buying the Model 3 and file my taxes and hope I make enough to qualify for the $7500 fed rebate) and letting me know about the $7500 CA EV rebate plus $2500 Loyalty cash for being a current Hyundai owner made my purchase price (will buy out the vehicles once the lease is up) $41.5k out the door and $34k after my CA EV rebate is approved. The cherry on top is also having 2 years of free charging (unfortunately at Electrify America) so I theoretically can use as many miles as I want with the car and buy it out in the end and not pay for "fuel" for the first 2 years and then use the additional $2k charge card from the CA EV rebate (this is a new incentive on top of the $7500) for the 3rd year. Edit: If I charge at night on a 350kWh charger I actually get the advertised 18 minute charge from 10-80% but if you're looking for an EV you're going to suffer from long waits and downed stations if you try to charge during the day.

Excellent detail I enjoyed your review thanks and just to note reviews don’t seem to notice how intrusive these “bongs” actually are in these new EV’s. I bought one of these cars six months ago and the bongs never stop…it constantly bongs if you put on/off the cruise control, open the door while charging, one km over the speed limit, move into a different speed limit zone, also you have to keep moving the steering wheel or it constantly warns you to put your hands back on the steering wheel by “bonging”. On most trips it warns you to “take a break” if the car wheels go near the roads studs! There appears to be an oppression with bongs!

It's wired CarPlay and Android Auto, not wireless. Hoping they push out an update though to enable it... but not holding my breath.

ya something seems wrong. I have the sel (less efficient wheels) and I just did 4.1 driving mostly highway (65mph). drove from 100% to 5% and got 301 miles, 286 with 15 miles remaining estimate. but my miles per kwh also has gone up since I understood the car better. my drive to work when I first got the car was 3.1, the max i hit now is 4.2. so i think he's just got the settings wrong.

Why compare the charging speed to the entry model 3 which is approx £5000 cheaper instead of the long range which is closer in price and faster?

Not true in the U.S. version and Fremont Factory is just 50 miles away whilst I-6 came from S Korea.

You definitely did something wrong with that efficiency test. I have the less efficient version of that car and my average is 4.1 with the sel.

'Fuel' effficiency / range estimates are such chaos for electric cars. At one point this video is saying "we carefully measured the efficiency at 3.0 miles / kwh" which equates to 222 miles to EMPTY on a 74 kwh FULL charge and immediately then continues talking about the great range as if it's really 300 miles plus. Electric cars have maybe a half or a third the range of gas cars, I get it, it's ok, but this constant obscuring of any sensible comparison between cars just says the industry is a bit of a scam.

I love driving my new Ioniq 5. Great safety features, amazing pickup, plenty of passenger room, room for 2 golf bags and advertised range was comparable with other EVs on the market. When I first got the car I was getting about 3.6 miles/kwh. However, had I known then what I know now about the car, I wouldn't have leased it (thankfully I didn't buy it). What I know now is that Hyundai recommends that it be charged to 80% of full charge to minimize degradation of battery. The dealer also recommended that the battery charge not fall below 20%. What this means is that you only use 60% of the battery's capacity therefore only getting 60% of the advertised range or about 130 miles!! If I wanted to drive my Ioniq 5 from my home in NJ to my home in Florida, I'd have to recharge 10 times adding 5 hours to the travel time best case (assuming charging station was immediately available (which is never the case.) To compound the problem is that the mileage recently dropped from 3.6 miles/kwh to between 1.6 - 2.1 miles/kwh (temperature is now in the 35-45 degree range now.) Now my maximum range is about 78 miles if I keep within to 20%-80% charging suggestion. Keep this information in mind when thinking about purchasing any EV.

​@@ThorpemanThat's less about weight than aerodynamics. I agree that a caravan would be a poor experience right now, I wouldn't bother. On the other hand, utterly loving driving our EV down through France and Switzerland. 😂 Please don't diss Skeggy though, we're heading that way later in August, already done Cornwall back in April. Apparently, none of this is possible in an EV and we're supposed to just stick to going to the local ASDA? I didn't get that memo unfortunately.😊

@djtaylorutube I'm from Nottingham I know skeggy very well but it's not the most scenic place to take your caravan or motor home

Until electric cars are affordable to buy and cheaper to insure, they are a write off for most people. Such a shame.

Now that is one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen! Aero-dynamics be damned - you'd have to drive it around with a bag on your head...
