This isn't specific to the Ioniq but EVs in general: That’s because Level 1 and Level 2 “charging stations” aren’t really chargers. The chargers are built into the car. The thing most of us call a charger is actually known as electric vehicle supply equipment, or EVSE. It’s the cord-set that came in...

It's a good article.... again the advantages of the Ioniq are highlighted! There's no doubt the Ioniq Electric faces a stiff rival in the Chevrolet Bolt EV that boasts a range of 238 miles to the Ioniq's 124, but along with a roomier cabin, lower starting price and arguably sleeker design, the Ioniq...

Interesting to know that Australia has a "fledgling" market. With the expanse of the outback I think it will be a while before anyone can go touring around Australia in an electric vehicle! But in the cities it would sure be an advantage.

Another reference... Ioniq Unlimited+ owners can enjoy their full driving experience worry-free, because there are no mileage penalties during the 36-month subscription period. The program also includes reimbursement for electricity used by the owner, based on the number of miles driven, up to the f...

From my reading, leasing is for a specific vehicle, while subscription allows you to change vehicles a number of times during the year. So you might switch from a car to a van, for example, if you're going on holidays, then switch back to a car. However, the Ioniq subscription doesn't appear to foll...

$100 isn't much to pay... considering that EVs don't contribute through gas taxes. The roads have to be paid for somehow.

I agree - that's the key to everything - producing a battery that's efficient, lightweight and durable.

I agree that people will need to have access to fast charging... and would be willing to pay a premium to get it. Hopefully the providers will see the wisdom in making an investment in fast charging capability - it will pay off in the long run.

Those are pretty good prices... I think the electric isn't due until fall or even early 2018 so it will be a while before we get pricing.

I saw an ad today on tv for the Ioniq. Now that it's becoming available, I think there'll be a big push. It has advantages over the Prius so I think it will be a strong competitor.
