HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 RANGE, CLEAN VEHICLE TAX CREDIT UPDATE, AND MORE

EV Channels Review

This episode of the EV Resource podcast covers several key developments in the EV space. A significant portion is dedicated to the Hyundai Ioniq 6, highlighting its impressive aerodynamic efficiency and a maximum EPA-estimated range of up to 361 miles, which surpasses the Tesla Model 3 Long Range. The reviewer notes that this range is achieved with 18-inch wheels, with larger 20-inch wheels reducing the range by 56 miles. The exterior styling of the Ioniq 6 receives mixed reactions, though the reviewer found it appealing in person, particularly in black. Other news includes New York City's mandate for Uber and Lyft to transition to 100% electric fleets by 2030, the US Treasury's updated vehicle classification standards for clean vehicle tax credits, and Ford's development of a next-generation EV truck platform. The Genesis X Convertible Concept is confirmed for production, and GM is reportedly considering a shift to cylindrical EV battery cells. The reviewer also shares personal experiences from the DC Auto Show, favoring the Ioniq 6 and noting the styling of new Chevy models.
