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.
Hyundai can’t use Tesla Superchargers in North America yet, except for the very few locations with Magic Dock. And even those have proven problematic. Hyundai will provide an adapter to allow your car to use many or most Superchargers in Q1 2025.
Adapters to use the slower Tesla Destination Chargers have been available for some time.
