Energy consumption is displayed on the dashboard and is re-calculated as you drive. It is different to the WLTP-rated consumption (which measures power from the mains).
This number is estimated by comparing the usable battery capacity against the WLTP range.
The maximum speed the EV can charge at home or a public AC charger.
An EV has a built-in charger that converts household AC electricity into DC current that goes into the battery.
This limits the maximum speed you can charge at home - no matter what extra equipment you install. Some public chargers (such as at motor camps and shopping malls) are also AC only.
Fast Charge ⚡
The maximum speed the EV can charge at a DC fast charger.
Speed is limited by the capacity of the charger.
In NZ, fast chargers are typically 25 kW, 50 kW, 100 kW, 175 kW, and 300 kW.
Cold temperatures and the vehicle's charging curve also dictate peak speed (i.e. a warm battery at a lower state-of-charge will charge quicker).
The Ioniq 5 is the first of a new generation of EVs from Hyundai (using a new platform). It was voted the 2021 New Zealand car of the year.
It has a body shape that is similar to both hatchback and SUV. It is larger than the Kona EV, with the same wheelbase as the Santa Fe. The vehicle is offered in a number of combinations, allowing the customer to choose battery size, two or all wheel drive, and other performance enhancements. There are three trims; the base model, Elite, and the top end Limited.

Close Encounters of the 5 Kind: Hyundai IONIQ 5 Review
"It was quite difficult not to like Hyundai’s new UFO for the road. Some ergonomics could be improved, but overall, the IONIQ 5 is a very well sorted and stunning looking bit of a kit,"
"It has more angles than Lara Croft in 1996 and it's just as captivating... It's been a fun couple of days - it's been an epic day driving this thing down here to Taupo."

The Unicorn: Hyundai IONIQ 5 Limited Review
"The IONIQ 5 is very intelligent and looks eye catching at the same time. Those are the upsides but what about downsides? Well, I couldn’t really find any."
