Hello! I just wanted to say that Hyundai Ioniq (first generation) is the best EV ~~for me~~

Reasons:

  • Quite cheap (compared to other EV's)
  • Great range (if only it mattered this much)
  • Good cargo space

And the most important thing

  • KNOBS! (oh god I hate and obsolutely despise touchscreen-only controls)

I acknowledge Nissan Leaf exist and I give it superiority over ioniq in design but only the pre-facelift model. Haha funny frog car. I love it :)

That's it. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

If you know any more EV's with knobs and buttons, share your sacred knowledge in the comments.

๐Ÿ˜‡I love my 4yo Dacia Spring

๐Ÿ˜i guess for the similar reasons:

  • navigation / entertainment is disconnected from internal car computer
  • Still, has Carplay / Android Auto
  • can be opened and started using a real hardware key
  • monitors the distance to car in front and warns if I am to near to be able to react (and actively breaks if necessary)
  • heating can be started via app (but setup of temperature, airflow and where are hardware nobs that preserve their state)
  • It is only about 1000 kg
  • mostly drives 200km (depending on weather and speed)
  • can easily be parked due to small size
  • has ISO-fix child seat mounting
  • can charge to 80% in 50min (if fast charging option is chosen)
  • has only one up-sale add-on option (fast charging)
  • has a feature to set max speed while driving on steering wheel
  • internet features can easily be enabled and disabled (even while driving)
  • speakers are ok (not too bad)
  • eco mode that prevents you from accelerating to fast and making your co-passengers sick
  • has back peeping as well as build-in cam
  • can easy be charged over night using 230v16a plug (adapter had to be bought separately, tho)
