Ownership summary

Verdict:

Hyundai IONIQ Electric 2016 makes the most sense as a FWD electric liftback built around compact daily use rather than frequent highway travel. The official NEDC range is a useful headline, but the BEVDB mixed estimate of about 187 km and the 154 km cold-highway scenario are better planning figures.

In daily use, home charging takes about 4 h 49 min from 0-100%; on trips, the 10-80% DC estimate is about 18 min (est.), which should make highway stops manageable. The practical side is documented with 5 seats and 350-1410 L cargo. The main caveat is that real-world planning should use the BEVDB mixed estimate rather than the official NEDC figure. Range confidence is high, while specs completeness is partial.

Estimates of actual range. The values given here are BEVDB estimates calculated from WLTP data and usable battery capacity, based on the BEVDB model. The BEVDB real-range card uses four fixed reference scenarios: City (Mild), Highway (Mild), City (Cold), and Highway (Cold). Mild means +20°C (70°F) without intensive climate-control use; cold means -10°C (14°F) with cabin heating. City speed is 50 km/h (30 mph), and highway speed is 110 km/h (70 mph). These figures are not official test results. Actual range will vary depending on speed, temperature, road conditions, road profile, load, tires, and driving style.

Estimated charging times are based on usable battery capacity, charging power and vehicle charging limits. Peak DC power is usually reached only briefly; average 10–80% power is more useful for estimating real charging time. Actual charging speed can vary by charger output, battery temperature, state of charge, weather, software and battery condition.

BEVDB model

Combined real range (estimate)187 km
Combined Energy Use (estimate)14.9 kWh/100 km

BEVDB estimates use WLTP-rated (or derived; falls back to NEDC when WLTP is missing) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value is a weighted mix of city/highway and mild/cold scenarios. See the methodology and data sources for inputs, official source boundaries, fallback rules, and versioning.
