The Hyundai Ioniq 6 addresses range anxiety the right way.
, the Ioniq 6 draws inspiration from art-deco streamliners like the Stout Scarab, Phantom Corsair, and Saab's first prototypes. It's also easy to see shades of Hans Ledwinka's influential Tatras and the Porsche 356, while the spoiler on the leading edge of the trunk recalls that of many 911s.
Of course, it takes a lot more than aping the looks of old streamliners to make a car slippery. To that end, almost the entire underbody of the Ioniq 6 is covered, helping smooth out airflow. Active grille shutters direct air to the radiator when necessary, but otherwise stay closed, diverting air towards vents called"curtains" that keep the airflow attached around the front wheels.
In and around Phoenix, mainly on long straight roads in rainy mid-60-degree weather, the Ioniq 6 SE Long-Range RWD gave us no reason to doubt its ability to hit the 361-mile figure. Doing those sorts of roads, I saw efficiencies in the low 5-mile/kWh range, and after a spirited drive on a canyon road, that dropped to around 4.8 mi/kWh. In my personal experience, I've never seen anything close to this in an EV.
When it arrives at dealers, the Ioniq 6 SE Long-Range RWD will tie the Lucid Air Pure and Touring for being the most efficient new car on the U.S. market. Both those versions of the Air offer more than 400 miles on a charge, but they use a larger 92-kWh battery. Plus, the Ioniq 6 costs about half as much as the cheapest Lucid, so it'll make a much bigger impact in the greater scheme of things, impressive though the Air is.Let's consider the EPA's 33.
If we must chase longer range for EVs—and it seems like we must—other automakers should follow the path taken by the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Find range by subtraction, not addition. Anything else just feels wasteful, and isn't that defeating the purpose of switching to EVs in the first place?
