I purchased an all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 four months ago. I didn't do so because of environmental concerns. I'm over the prices at the gas pump. My electric bill increased by around 30 a month. I have 324 miles range on a full charge. It looks better than most gas cars and I can carry a good amount of cargo in the large hatch. The back seat is larger than most cars. I have a 7500 tax credit I can use next year. The car was 45k. The car comes with rear air conditioning vents which many cars today do not have. I bought the adapter which converts the car into a huge battery backup power source for a single 15 AMP in case of a hurricane: I can run my refrigerator and various lights in my house off an extension cord for days, not hours. With my normal driving habits, I only charge the car on my level 2 at-home charger once every 3 days to top it back off. The car does not heat up my garage when I bring it back home because there is no hot engine cooling down for hours in an already hot garage. This car is more than suitable for 99% of Villagers driving habits.
