The Hyundai IONIQ PHEV Hatchback
The IONIQ plug-in electric car has a 8.9 kWh EV battery with a WLTP zero-emission electric range of 32 miles (could be up to 39 miles under certain driving conditions). Depending on driving style, weather condition and the services used in the EV, expect a real world range closer to 25 miles. However, that would be more than sufficient for most daily commutes using the EV battery i.e. driving emission-free and also saving money (the running cost per mile of an EV is far lower than a petrol or diesel car). Bottom-line driving on electric miles is both cost efficient and eco-friendly!
The IONIQ EV is a practical and affordable electric vehicle (EV), appropriate for families keen to migrate to electric driving, but at prices that are affordable.
