According to the official EPA stats -
Looking at my data with from the recent trip I just took in an Ioniq EV.
The Ioniq EV does particularly well when driving fast. Here are the Distance and Energy Economy stats.
The 3516km is of course a glitch in the trip computer, I actually did 351.6km
On the 21st September I drove on a fairly empty freeway for 343km fast.
Weather conditions were perfect, 24C, dry, no wind.
The speed limit was 110 km/h but I was often driving at 120 km/h or above.
City traffic at the end meant my speeds for the last hour were significantly slower.
I set off with 100% charge. I drove more than 200km at speed before needing to recharge.
On the 22nd September I drove on a fairly empty freeway for 265km slowly.
Weather conditions were perfect, 24C, dry, no wind.
The speed limit was 80 km/h but I was often driving slower.
For the Ioniq EV 265km was easy to do on a single charge. (I would have begun to worry at 300km)
This road was a 220 km stretch between chargers, hence in this specific circumstance having an Ioniq EV or other longer range EV is essential.
Here's the best range I saw on the car, after a full charge. In reality you can do more than this, if you drive slowly.
The Trip stats on my car give one value for each day. That value is not shown until the next day, hence I do not have the complete trip stats for my trip in this format. I tried to find a setting to change this back to the older format that lists each separate journey as a trip, but couldn't find it. The older software is shown in the manual. (Kia Soul EV still has the older version). It may be that cars outside of Korea come with this version.
