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.

    From what I understand Hyundai can also use Tesla’s network. They have a charging station section on their website that shows them on a map and there’s probably 30 within 20 miles of me and it includes Tesla stations as well.

    There are a handful of “magic dock” chargers that may appear there. Those are pretty rare in most states, but they’re rolling out.

    I don’t expect them to continue to roll out. CCS is a dead-end plug, so you’ll likely be fast charging almost exclusively with an adapter in the next 2-3 years.

    You’ll likely need to carry two adapters, one for L1/L2 and one for L3 charging.
