2020 HYUNDAI IONIQ ALL-ELECTRIC REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a highly positive assessment of the 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Electric, particularly praising its exceptional real-world range and efficiency. Despite initial skepticism, the reviewer was won over by the vehicle's performance, noting it exceeded EPA estimates significantly. The larger 38.3 kWh battery pack is highlighted as a key improvement, enabling over 300 kilometers of range on a full charge and allowing for a full week of normal driving without needing to plug in. While the fast charging speed was somewhat disappointing, topping out at 48 kW instead of the claimed 100 kW, the reviewer suggests the extended range minimizes the need for frequent charging on longer journeys. The car is described as comfortable, quiet, and purposeful, akin to the 'Honda Civic of EVs' in its reliability and straightforward functionality. The reviewer concludes with a strong recommendation, emphasizing the Ioniq Electric as a reliable, efficient, and outstanding all-purpose vehicle, especially for those looking beyond mainstream EV brands.
