E-GMP EFFICIENCY SHOOTOUT: IONIQ 5 VS GV60 VS EV6 - ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION & CHARGING COMPARED

EV Channels Review

This video pits three E-GMP platform siblings against each other in an efficiency and charging test: the Kia EV6 GT Line, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Genesis GV60. The reviewer, Dave, collaborates with a subscriber, Paul, for the initial leg. Key findings reveal the Ioniq 5 and EV6 are considerably more efficient than the GV60, attributed to the GV60's larger 21-inch wheels compared to the 20-inch wheels on the others. A peculiar discrepancy in trip odometers between the EV6 and the other two Hyundai/Kia/Genesis models is noted, with the Ioniq 5 and GV60 aligning perfectly. Charging tests from 10-80% show impressive speeds, with the Ioniq 5 achieving Hyundai's claimed 18 minutes under favorable 79-degree conditions, while the EV6 also performed exceptionally well. The GV60, despite its premium feel and faster acceleration, is deemed a less efficient road tripper due to its wheel size and potentially larger motors. The reviewer also touches on the opportunistic selling of his Ioniq 5 due to market conditions and the premium feel of the GV60, though he expresses a desire for longer range vehicles.
