Running Cost

Electricity unit cost (default {defaultPrice} c/kWh) multiplied by the car's WLTP consumption rating.

WLTP Consumption

The EV's dashboard shows energy consumed from the battery.

Running cost uses the WLTP electric energy consumption rating that includes power consumed during charging.

Economy

Electrical energy consumed from the battery over a given distance.

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.

See more about WLTP range and efficiency.

Range (WLTP)

Range is from the manufacturer's WLTP range specification.

Highway Range

Highway range is an estimate if most of your travel is open road (100 km/h).

WLTP range is helpful if most of your travel is 80 km/h and under, but not so good for open road estimates.

See more about WLTP range and efficiency.

Vehicle-to-load (V2L) ⚑️

If the EV has V2L capability, the max. output (kW) is listed.

V2L means appliances can be plugged into the EV.

Some vehicles have interior NZ sockets, while others require an adapter be plugged into the Type 2 exterior charging socket.

Tow Capacity

Unbraked (kg) / Braked (kg)

Most EVs can have towbars fitted for carrying bikes (but not for towing loads).

Towing a load will significantly decrease range (typically by 50%).

See all EVs ranked by tow capacity.

Boot Space 🧳

Seats up (Litres) / Seats down (Litres)

The volume of space available.

Frunk

Volume (Litres)

The American term "front trunk" indicates how much storage space is available under the bonnet of the car.

Battery Capacity πŸ”‹

Total (Gross) kWh / Usable (Net) kWh

Usable battery capacity is the number of kilowatt-hours that the vehicle can access.

Complete guide to EV batteries.

AC Charge

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 also limited by the capacity of the public charger. In NZ, fast chargers are typically 25 kW, 50 kW, 100 kW, 175 kW, and 300 kW.

Temperature (20Β°+ is ideal) and battery state-of-charge affect speed (an empty battery charges faster).

Hyundai IONIQ 5

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.

The IONIQ 5 has won multiple 'car of the year' awards in NZ. The first EV from Hyundai to be built on an electric-only platform, the mid-sized SUV is impressive in many ways.

Unfortunately, supply issues during 2022 hampered the sales numbers.

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,"

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is BRILLIANT!

"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."
