Hyundai Ioniq Numbers Flatten Chevy Bolt, Toyota Prius

[oilerlord]

Heck, *I* am thinking about buying a used LEAF - at $7K-$8K for a low-mileage 3-year-old vehicle I am rather tempted.

In a few years, I may be tempted to buy a low-mileage Ioniq for $10,000.

I'd be curious to hear info on the plug-in hybrid version. When, what states, and what the all-electric range is. I *may* end up buying a PHEV, but it has to have a min of 30 miles electric range (40 would be better) or I won't buy it (so the Prime is out). It also has to have an efficient, low-emission gas engine (unlike the i3).

Specs show the PHEV to have a 8.9 kWh battery. Hyundai estimates "greater than 27 miles. Given the Ioniq PHEV will weigh ~3200 pounds, and have great aerodynamics, 30+ miles of all-electric range should certainly be possible.
