- foxyv 2y agoIoniq has MUCH better fast charging. Their high voltage batteries allow them to charge at 104 miles per 10 minutes or 640 miles per hour. The new Toyota and Hondas only charge about 60 miles per 10 minutes or 360 miles per hour. Also, I'm really hesitant to try anything from Toyota or Honda that is brand spanking new. First adopters tend to get hosed. Also it's easier to get parts and repairs for the Ioniq since it's been around for so much longer. However the Hyundais are a lot less reliable than I would like. My hands down favorite is the Prius Prime PHEV. Toyota's two motor E-CVT is probably the best transmission in the world and their motors are bomb proof with appropriate maintenance. Some people report refueling once a year.
- jfim 2y agoI got a plug in hybrid (Lincoln Corsair) and I like it. If you can charge at home, most of your errands/commute is within the electric range, and you can set it to run solely off the battery, you can go several months without having to put gas in it. At the same time, if you do a road trip, you just put gas in it, no need to find chargers that work and install charging apps on your phone.
- foxyv 2y agoI think plug in hybrids are the best compromise we could ask for at this point given current infrastructure. If we see a large public investment in charging, I think we would be seeing electric car adoption across the board. But until that happens, PHEVs are a good deal.
