We're in California and just leased a new 2023 Ioniq 5 to get the $7500 rebate. We love it so far! We test drove the Tesla Y and model 3. The Ioniq 5 drives so much better in our opinion, smoother and quieter. We leased the SEL but now I wish we had splurged and gotten the Limited edition with the beautiful roof.

It’s my understanding tge $7500 rebate no longer applies to the Ioniq? Must be a California perk?

I just bought a black SE RWD 2 weeks ago - love it. For many reasons, not the least that this model can tow 2300 and my teardrop is 2000 soaking wet (tongue, etc.) so it buys a little wiggle room.

[@randyrice1429]

I bought Digital Teal Ioniq 5 2023 model. Have had it six months now and love, love, love it! Took it on a 600 mile round trip and had NO PROBLEM finding available fast chargers. I absolutely get 300 mi. on a full charge around town - even in winter. The mileage gauge gives you a reading of how many miles you can travel with the current style of driving and use of climate control. That is why it may seem like it fluctuates quickly. If you are gunning it, running the heat on high, etc. it will use more charge. I purchased in January and we had a cold winter and I did not notice much difference, but I do have an in-home charger. When I was on the open road, it was summer and I had to run a/c. Got much less mileage on the road. Hyundai has a deal with Electrify America for free charging on your Hyundai purchase for TWO YEARS. Has been a great experience and I have never owned a car that I loved more. My Hyundai dealership cannot keep them in stock and doesn't get many. That is Hyundai's fault, I guess. They cannot keep up with the demand.

[@martman123456]

I notice even in the 6 months I've had my EV,, the EA stations are overwhelmed from all the people lined up for free charging. I think EVs are becoming more mainstream, so people don't need to keep doing research. They will get press if someone makes a breakthrough car or adds a fun feature, but now Teslas are everywhere and they're getting really boring to look at.

[@how2what4]

I'm in South Korea and have taken a few IONIQ 5 taxis and wanted to learn more about the car from an American perspective. As a passenger, it's been a good ride, and seeing your review it looks like a good car as an everyday driver. It would be icing on the cake if Hyundai also adopted the Tesla charging port as well.

[@gw7231]

Absolutely a wonderful car. I have the SEL AWD …I absolutely can’t find anything bad about this car. It’s so quiet and fast as heck. It charges so much faster than any car…I usually leave while other cars are still charging at public places. Not sure why Tesla doesn’t have a few buttons like Ioniq 5 as this makes it faster/easier to control a/c, etc. Comfortable and very roomy. Only downside I can find is I had to go to dealer for updates.

[@kevinc6763]

I just leased mine. Why was it not selling? Because first off, it's NOT a 58k car. It's just not. Wayyyy overpriced. That, and the mark-ups on this car a year ago of 5k to 10k was....pure insanity. I leased mine because the dealer took almost 16k off the msrp...a no money down deal with 2 years of free charging. At a fair price.

[@techguyMD]

The only downside I can find to the Hyundai's or KIA's is they don't get the full tax rebate. And this year.. in 2024 the full 7500 can be given directly to the dealer at purchase time cutting the price instantly. What is it for the Hyundai? $3500 or something? Maybe I'll trade in my 17' Elantra for a 2023 Ionic 5 at a discount with the rebate?

I was lucky to be able to try reserving one within minutes.....the project 45 version (limites all opts was the only available version) was sold out in ca 10 to 15 minutes.

[@henryinman2343]

I have watched a variety of reviews on the Ioniq 5 2024 model, I like this review a lot because it's a real opinion. The Ioniq 5 is a great EV, I just wished the mileage per charge was 350 miles or better, here in the Carolinas charging stations are scarce and there are no tax incentives to trade in for an EV.

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. There are waiting lists for these vehicles across the country.

Everything depends on the use case. I live in Europe (Belgium) so distances are limited.I've got a Diesel engine Volvo V60cc. My wife has an EV Hyundai. My cost of ownership is clearly a lot higher. My wife charges at home from our solar panels for about 90% of her annual needs. I have to use gas stations and fuel prices are +- double of what they are in the US / 70% higher than in Canada. I can do 1000 km's on a single tank. My wife her EV has about a 420km's real range average. But does it make such a difference? My daily driving is 50-100 km's a day on average. In weekends it can be a bit more but rarely above 200 km's. I barely did two 400+ km's trips in a single day in an entire year (I work full time, wouldn't know when I would fit in 4+ hours of driving in a single day more often). And in those cases I stopped after about 3-4 hours of driving anyway to stretch my legs / get a coffee / take a toilet break or was at the location for several hours. I could have charged the car to 80%-100% without any issue as it takes only 15-20 minutes. Infrastructure has already developed at a high speed and in 3 years time, all of the key highways in Europe should have a fast charging infrastructure with high speed charging every 60 km's. So I'm switching to an EV as it fits my lifestyle (Ioniq5 - leasing for tax reasons)

[@Yanquetino]

Not selling? Dunno what you're talking about, as I've had a helluva time trying to find one in my preferred configuration. Last quarter they were in 3rd place for EV sales in my state, only surpassed by Tesla and Rivian. If they really aren't selling elsewhere, I'd surmise that it's only because Hyundai needs to join the other automakers that have committed to transition to NACS over the next couple of years. If consumers knew that was going to happen, they'd snatch them up in a heartbeat.

[@Valkyrie11609]

So the four month wait period i just cleared was my imagination?? The dealer had it sitting on the lot the entire time??

[@GeeDeeBird]

I think people will be skeptical about EV's until they drive one. It's the microwave oven phenomenon. It seems like an extravagance, until you have one. Then it becomes a necessity. Beyond that, the conversion to the NACS charging network as the North American standard will make everything go more smoothly.

[@vulpixelful]

Clickbait for an obviously old video. The EV battery drain is minimal when parked and not plugged in. You'd literally have to abandon your car for months at a time to have substantial battery drain that way 😂 You also have to start the engine of ICE vehicles from time to time, and you'd have to do more than just plug them in if there is a problem due to having just sat there. And there's more EVs out now than just Teslas, so of course those videos would no longer hold the market share of views for EV enthusiasts...

[@reiniernn9071]

I'm surprised that you say that when you leave an EV a few weeks alone the battery has lost a lot of power. It's not my expwerience. Next, when heating up the car you'll use up a lot of power extra. On short drives, every time starting cold the range will drop if you use the battery for hearing up. On long drives the loss is not big...at least not much bigger as in petrol cars (they also loose range in the cold)...if you have a version with heat pump. Taking 500-800 watts for the heatpunp usage and 10-16 KW for the engine. It's 5 % loss due to heating during the travel. (And another 5% to 10% because cold air is heavier ...which increases drag...but that loss you'll find with all cars.)

[@Reindrikfredfeldt]

09:40 What a bunch of nonsense. If my car charges to 80% and the temp drops to -30c it will show 78% when I start driving. Its basic chemistry of the battery - if the temperature rises to 30c the battery will show 82%. When cold the battery will not drain just sitting. You make it sound it's like 20% - which it's not. Do you leave your tires plugged in a compressor for the night in case of fluctuations as well? EVs are excellent winter drivers, the most electrified countries in Europe are in Scandinavia where we regularly see temps around -10 to -20 during winter. No more do I need to start my car 15 mins before leaving just to heat the car up. No more do I have to accept that my car consumes about 75% more just because it's cold and its costing me a fortune. With a EV I can accept a higher consumption because electricity is dirt cheap comparing to gas. If I charge during the night it cost me around 1-2 USD to fill the car up. Practical advantages of EVs summarised: Heats up alot quicker than a regular car (no need to wait for a engine to get warm). Better handling because of a lower placement of weight due to the battery. Better ability to modulate the throttle reducing risk of getting stuck in the snow or slipping. More weight on the traction wheels, important if you opt out 4WD which you do NOT need, spend the money on better tires instead.

Otherwise you are charging more often which is still burning fuels elsewhere which voids the whole idea of zero emissions. Charging should also be no more than 5 minutes for full charge. But worst is the damage the environment will take when batteries have to be replaced…. Far worse than any fossil fuel burning have ever done.

How many oil changes. Trans flushes and other types of that maintenance does your ice vehicle require?? Technology has evolved thank goodness.

[@melvinholland9656]

Interesting take. I assume you don't own an EV since they "aren't worth it". I own two. My take....first, 21% of power in the US is produced by renewables and the percentage grows each year. In 2010 it was 9%. 80%-90% of charging an EV is done at home. I have solar and Powerwalls and thereby charge the EVs for free. That means no maintenance and free fuel. OTAs improve my vehicles free of charge. Does your ICE vehicle improve with time and operate for free? Third, 10 year old Teslas are still on the road with 200,000 miles on original batteries. So the battery hell you envision hasn't materialized. They will be recycled just like lead acid batteries. The EU already mandates such. Finally, please don't forget all the pollution ICE vehicles have produced for a century right along with all the catastrophic oil spills and pipeline ruptures that have occurred world wide.

Don't listen to clueless here.. the batteries are already recycled yo! And it only costs me .09c per mile here in California where the grid is 50% renewables. Every year the electric grid is more renewable. Your oil burner is still 100% oil powered. Where we are increasingly sun \ wind powered.

Any sufficiently advanced parody is indistinguishable from real raving lunacy... but you missed a few out of kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYnHfXRsaN-NfKc - nice try though!

[@GeeDeeBird]

This just in.... Buggywhip makers proclaim the range should be minimum of 50 miles for all "horseless" carriages. Otherwise you are refueling more often which still uses horses elsewhere, which voids the whole idea of zero horse manure!

Love this car

[@jamescox2822]

I'm sorry but the prices is three times what you expect to pay for Korean Yugo

[@gabrielflores1149]

I just got one for $12,500 under MSRP.
