We are considering trading up to an Ioniq 5 from our Bolt, but are leery of decrease in efficiency compared to our Bolt, currently at 5.2 miles/kWh since resetting the trip odometer over 3000 miles ago. This is a mostly rural driving at 45 mph. A few 2-300 mile trips which included highway driving. Some, but mostly no AC. Driving the speed limit on all roads. Tires at 4 psi over recommended. I would like to know what other similarly conservative drivers are getting with their Ioniq 5s. If you have a number to offer, please include whether R or AWD and wheel size. I do realize this is a trade up in size, power and convenience and that should be worth something, but still not quite ready to make the jump.
Long-term miles/kWh average for conservative drivers

I don't drive that much so the 170 miles, 273 km works for me. I still wish that car manufactures try to figure out how to make more efficient EVs than just incenting a bigger battery. I think they will as more people demand it.

Enter the Lucid Air! If I could afford one, it would probably be my #1 EV choice.
However, I do appreciate fitting my goalie bag in the trunk of my Ioniq. That was also a crucial real world decision over the Ioniq 6 at the time. It fit in my 28kW Ioniq but with the rears folded down. What a cruel world of choices lol
That's my biggest gripe about the 6, I just wish they made it with a hatch instead of a trunk. I am really intrigued with the slate because you can reconfigure it the way that works the best for you. Although I would wait a year or two to buy one, just to see if the start up survives and so they can work out the bugs.
Long term (40k km) I'm getting 5.5km/kWh, so about 3.5mi/kWh on an AWD. Distance-wise, there's more miles on motorway than city streets in there. I don't know how some of you are getting such good numbers (probably much more gentle drivers than I am) - but I doff my hat to you
