As a former European Automotive correspondent for Reuters, I’ve a spent a few years writing about the industry. I will penetrate the corporate hype and bluster and find out how these gigantic enterprises are really doing. I also love to drive their magnificent machines, and their more modest ones. I’ll be telling you if the technology works, too.
, like a majority of electric vehicles, has many outstanding qualities but like most of the others also suffers from exaggerated battery capacity claims and a poor high-speed cruising range.of Korea ’s EV brand, looks impressive, goes like the wind, has a terrific interior, and oozes quality. The trouble is, it won’t last long travelling along Europe ’s high-speed motorway system where the speed limit is 130 km/h or just over 80 mph.
Ioniq claims a more modest 322-mile everyday range, but again under real-world conditions this wasn’t possible. After driving the car for a week and charging it five times, the average maximum charge the battery accepted was only 270 miles. That’s a 16% shortfall compared with the claim, and almost 30% below the WLTP figure.
BCG used the EPA figure for the Ioniq 6 SE RWD Long Range for our research. We understand that others have conducted real-world testing that indicates that the real-world range for the Ioniq 6 may be below the EPA figure, though others have also conducted real-world tests that indicate they achieved > 350 miles.”The Ioniq 6’s range capability is close to the mainstream for EVs, although the Tesla 3 and Y are much better than most other competitors.
Taganza said the size of the Ioniq 6 places it in the same category as the Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4 and the more expensive VW ID.7 and the Chinese Nio ET5. The competition is very harsh, and the models which can boast the best technology will win.Looking for winners in this sector it’s hard to see any other than Chinese ones.
