Hyundai Ioniq 6 AWD Techniq review

EV Central

The only cars available to test were AWD Techniqs with 20-inch wheels – same as the first batch coming to Australia. Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto was also lacking in our test cars – cable only instead, but there is wireless phone charging. A personal favourite is how the Ioniq 6 exudes Knight Rider vibes.

EV Central

Little things adding personality. Let’s start with Australia’s best-selling EV, the Tesla Model Y. There’s no wireless charging or wireless smartphone mirroring (you must cable-in for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), no head-up display and no Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality. The rear lights are even better.

So far Israel, Denmark, Australia , Hawaii and California’s Bay Area have plans to implement the Better Place model. But after interviewing Ford’s Nancy Gioia at the recent Detroit Auto show, I’m now unsure of both the timescales involved, or how much the power and auto companies are behind it as a fundamental concept.
