Great EV (but I have some notes :))
Overall, the Ioniq 6 is one of the best EVs on the market. The range and charging speed it offers is unequaled, except for cars outside of it's price class (see: Lucid). The exterior appearance of the Ioniq 6 is somewhat polarizing: you either love it or you hate it. BUT, either way, if you own an Ioniq 6, you own a car that looks unlike any other car on the road.
I have taken my Ioniq 6 on a 1600-mile road trip, and it performed beautifully. The comfortable interior and highway-driving assist really helped the miles pass by quickly, comfortably, and safely. The main concern I have with the car is that battery preconditioning—critical for doing fast, Level 3 recharging with a battery that isn't warm—can be tricky to initiate. I wish that Hyundai trusted its EV owners (generally a very knowledgeable and thoughtful bunch) to initiate preconditioning manually, rather than relying on a Byzantine series of conditions that must be met. This, coupled with the general poor state of fast charging infrastructure in the US, can make road trips in the Ioniq 6 frustrating for those (e.g my wife) who are accustomed to and need for it to be as seamless and thoughtless as with a non-EV vehicle. I hope (and suspect) future Ioniq models have manual preconditioning and that the EV infrastructure will get built out at a faster rate than EV adoption.
