Electric vehicle demand is soaring, and it owes a lot to advances in battery tech. Plunging battery costs have enabled manufacturers to pack longer range into a wider choice of vehicles, and with an ever-smaller price penalty versus petrol or diesel cars. Even the most affordable models are now breaking the 200-mile barrier, and range anxiety isn’t the stumbling block it once was.
However, there’s a bigger picture to consider. With electricity costs on the rise and material supply constraints starting to kick in, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 is going against the grain of SUV-shaped EVs. Its headline-grabbing range results from a ruthless focus on efficiency instead of scaling up to a larger, heavier and more expensive battery pack.
