For months now I’ve been torn between buying a Model Y and buying one of Hyundai’s Ioniq models. Today I pulled the trigger and bought my first EV, an Ioniq 6 SEL. Overall I just felt like I was getting more car for the same price. I’m absolutely blown away at how much Hyundai has turned their brand around compared to 5 years ago. The 5 year 60k mile bumper to bumper and the 10/100k battery with two years free charging and 3 years free maintenance is what ultimately sold me. But dang if those Tesla seats aren’t the most comfortable things in the world.
I’m making weekly 400 mile round trips in the EV I got with free EA charging. So far I have had to wait to charge once in 7 or 8 attempts. Not too bad. EA horror stories appear to be overblown, at least in my region.
Free EA charging has been a boon for my budget.
