Hyundai Ioniq's global sales top 500,000 units
Hyundai Motor Co.'s Ioniq series have sold over 500,000 units globally, the group said Sunday, reaching a milestone for the first time since its launch of the Ioniq 5 four years ago. According to the company, it had sold a cumulative 514,588 units of its Ioniq series, consisting of the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and Ioniq 9, as of last month. The series, which began with the launch of its very first Ioniq 5 in 2021, saw its sales gradually increase year after year, with 65,906 units sold in 2021, 114,548 in 2022 and 169,812 in 2023. Sales dropped to 121,375 last year amid a temporary drop in demand for electric vehicles, with signs indicating a potential rebound this year. Last month alone, 16,368 vehicles from the series were sold, up 41 percent compared with the same period last year. The most popular among the series was the Ioniq 5 and its high-performance version, the Ioniq 5 N, which have together sold 407,607 units, accounting for 80 percent of the total accumulative sales. "We will strive to keep up the popularity of the Ioniq series in the global market by strengthening its commercial value and expanding its market base," a company official said. (Yonhap)

The fastest-charging EVs in Australia
Electric vehicles (EVs) are still proving to be a popular option among Australia's sea of mid-sized SUVs and utes, but there are still some hurdles. Some are put off by price, while range anxiety continues to crop up for others. Perhaps the biggest factor is Australia's lack of widespread charging infrastructure, let alone fast chargers. That means those used to internal combustion vehicles don't want to be spending upwards of an hour at a charging station, as it typically takes just a few minutes to refuel a petrol or diesel vehicle. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. With that in mind, we've compiled a list of Australia's top 10 fastest-charging EVs based on manufacturer's claims. We're aware these claims may not apply to the real world, but the sole use of these claims should at least provide some consistency for comparison. Inadequate charging infrastructure is a factor behind the real-world accuracy of these claims, particularly in Australia. You'll notice the majority of cars here offer the same charging specifications as one another, and that's because all share similar construction and technology given they're all built by the same overarching automotive company. Click on a model in the table above to jump directly to its information on the page, or continue scrolling for the full article Hyundai Ioniq 6 The first five cars on this list are all Hyundai Motor Group products and share a lot of the same EV tech. Built atop E-GMP architecture, the Ioniq 6 can supposedly charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 18 minutes. Peak power and torque outputs vary across the six-car range, but all Ioniq 6s have the same claimed charging specifications. You'll also find both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, though there are only two of the latter, and they'll both cost more than $83,000 once all is said and done. Battery capacities also range from 53kWh to 77.4kWh, offering different claimed WLTP range figures. All boast lithium-ion construction and are incorporated into E-GMP's 800V architecture. Hyundai's electric sedan ranges in price from $67,300 before on-roads for the base Ioniq 6 RWD to $86,500 before on-roads for the top-spec Epiq AWD. There is a new Ioniq 6 coming later this year, with more powerful variants to join the range. Hyundai vehicles are covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia, while its high-voltage EV batteries are covered for eight years or 160,000km. Interested in buying a Hyundai Ioniq 6? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here Back to top Hyundai Ioniq 5 Also on E-GMP is the Ioniq 5, which is the poster child for Hyundai's performance EVs. It can supposedly charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 18 minutes at a 350kW DC fast charging rate. As with its 'streamliner' sedan counterpart, the Ioniq 5 is offered with varying power and torque outputs across the range, both of which peak with the performance Ioniq 5 N. There are 11 variants of the electric crossover, and it's more expensive than the Ioniq 6 depending on variant. Prices range from $69,800 before on-roads for the base Ioniq 5 RWD, extending to $110,383 before on-roads for the wild Ioniq 5 N AWD. All have the same claimed charging times despite offering lithium-ion batteries of varying capacities, with 800V architecture the headlining aspect of its construction. Like the Ioniq 6, the Ioniq 5 is covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia, and its high-voltage EV battery is covered for eight years or 160,000km. Interested in buying a Hyundai Ioniq 5? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here Back to top Kia EV6 Kia offers a simplified range for its EV6 compared to the two Hyundai EVs featured so far. The EV6 shares the same fast charging rate of 350kW, for a claimed 10 to 80 per cent time of 18 minutes. There are four EV6 variants available: two RWD models and two AWDs, though all are fed by a 77.4kWh battery. This is a lithium-ion battery shared with the Ioniq 6, as both are built atop the 800V E-GMP architecture. Kia's sporty SUV-like EV ranges in price from $72,590 before on-roads for the base EV6 Air to $99,590 before on-roads for the powerful GT. The range-topping model also has the shortest claimed driving range, while the base spec has the longest. The EV6 is also more expensive than the Ioniq 5 at the bottom of the range, but it undercuts it at the top. Kia Australia backs its models with a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and its high-voltage EV batteries with a seven-year, 150,000km warranty. Interested in buying a Kia EV6? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here Back to top Genesis GV60 Genesis is the Hyundai Motor Group's luxury marque, and its only dedicated EV in Australia is the GV60 SUV. It has a lot in common with the EVs mentioned so far, and also has a claimed 10 to 80 per cent fast charging time of 18 minutes. There are only two variants of GV60 on sale in Australia: a standard version and a Performance version. Both feature dual-motor all-wheel drive and use the same 77.4kWh lithium-ion battery previously mentioned on this list. Like every car listed so far, it's also built atop its parent's 800V E-GMP EV architecture. Being a luxury model, it's also the most expensive car so far. The base GV60 is priced at $103,384 before on-roads, while the GV60 Performance costs $110,384 before on-roads – just one dollar more than the Ioniq 5 N. Genesis Australia backs its cars with a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty, and its high-voltage EV batteries with an eight-year, 160,000km warranty. Interested in buying a Genesis GV60? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here Back to top Genesis Electrified GV70 Though the updated Electrified GV70 is only open for expressions of interest at the moment, preliminary specifications are available. Like the other Hyundai Motor Group EVs to this point, it offers an 18-minute 10 to 80 per cent charging time at a DC rate of 350kW. Only one variant has so far been listed on Genesis Australia's online configurator, designated as Signature. It offers an 84kWh lithium-ion battery like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, and it's all-wheel drive with similar outputs to the GV60. Unlike the other cars so far, the Electrified GV70 is not built atop the 800V E-GMP architecture. Instead, that platform's technology has been adapted for use in the GV70's body, which is typically an internal combustion model. Like the GV60, the new Electrified GV70 will almost certainly be covered by a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty, and an eight-year, 160,000km warranty for its high-voltage EV battery. Interested in buying a Genesis GV70? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here Back to top Porsche Taycan The first non-Hyundai car on this list is the Porsche Taycan, which is technically available in a total of 22 individual variants. Taycan trim levels include the base Taycan, 4, 4S, GTS, Turbo, Turbo S, and Turbo GT, and the latter can also be optioned with the wild Weissach Package. A Cross Turismo wagon version is also available alongside sedan versions of some variants. All models boast lithium-ion batteries, available in either 82.3kWh or 97kWh capacities depending on the variant. There's also a sharp increase in power and torque outputs as the models get more expensive, peaking at 580kW and 1340Nm for the top-spec Turbo GT. All of that comes at a cost, as prices range from $174,500 before on-roads for the base Taycan RWD to $419,000 before on-roads for the Turbo GT AWD. The Taycan is also built on 800V architecture and can charge at up to 350kW DC. Porsche Australia backs its cars with a three-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and its high-voltage EV batteries with an eight-year, 160,000km warranty. Interested in buying a Porsche Taycan? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here Back to top Lotus Eletre Perhaps the most exotic car on this list is the Lotus Eletre, an electric SUV that can charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 20 minutes. It has the largest lithium-ion battery pack seen so far, with a capacity of 112kWh. Its 800V architecture allows it to charge at up to 355kW DC, providing the same charging time across its three-car range. Range decreases as the Eletre variants get more expensive, peaking at 600km for the base Eletre and dropping to 450km for the more performance-oriented Eletre R. As with other Lotus cars it's not exactly cheap, starting at $189,990 before on-roads for that base version and extending to $279,990 before on-roads for the flagship R. Lotus backs its Australian models with a five-year, 150,000km warranty, while the Eletre's high-voltage battery is good for eight years or 200,000km – the longest on this list. Interested in buying a Lotus Eletre? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here Back to top Kia EV9 The largest car on this list is the Kia EV9, which has a claimed fast charging time of 20 minutes at a 350kW DC charge rate. Three variants make up the Australian EV9 range, one of which is offered with a smaller 76.1kWh lithium-ion battery – the EV9 Air, which can charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 20 minutes, while being rear-wheel drive only. The other two are the Earth and GT-Line, which feature a 99.8kWh lithium-ion battery and all-wheel drive each, and have a claimed fast charging time of 24 minutes. All models have the same DC charging rate of 350kW. Kia's large electric SUV lineup ranges in price from $97,000 before on-roads for the Air, to $121,000 before on-roads for the flagship GT-Line. The EV9 is backed by Kia's seven-year, unlimited-kilomtre warranty, alongside its seven-year, 150,000km high-voltage EV battery warranty. Interested in buying a Kia EV9? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here Back to top Audi e-tron GT Audi's high-end electric grand tourer is the e-tron GT, which can charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 23 minutes at a DC rate of 270kW. Only two variants make up the range, a standard model and an RS performance grade – at least before the updated range arrives later this year. Both are all-wheel drive and share the same 93kWh battery, while sharing a platform with the Porsche Taycan. This comprises a 800V architecture, supporting that fast charging rate of 270kW. Only dealer stock is available for the current e-tron GT in Australia, as Audi gears up to bring said updated model later in 2025. The existing range starts at $181,784 before on-roads for the base e-tron GT, and extends to $250,484 before on-roads for the RS e-tron GT. Audi's cars a covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia, while its high-voltage EV batteries are covered for eight years or 160,000km. Interested in buying an Audi e-tron GT? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here Back to top Genesis Electrified G80 The final Hyundai product on this list is the Genesis Electrified G80, which is currently off-sale as the brand gears up to launch an updated version later this year. Charging specs are available, and it's claimed to be able to charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 25 minutes. The updated model will receive a larger 94.5kWh battery, up from the 87.2kWh unit previously offered. A WLTP range claim is yet to be provided, but it's expected to be greater than the 520km previously in pocket. It'll still feature a dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain, though it's not confirmed if there will be any tweaks to its outputs. Pricing is also as-yet unknown, but the previous model was priced at roughly $150,000 before on-road costs. It's expected that the updated Electrified G80 will be covered by Genesis' five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty, and an eight-year, 160,000km warranty for its high-voltage EV battery.

The fastest-charging EVs in Australia
Electric vehicles (EVs) are still proving to be a popular option among Australia's sea of mid-sized SUVs and utes, but there are still some hurdles. Some are put off by price, while range anxiety continues to crop up for others. Perhaps the biggest factor is Australia's lack of widespread charging infrastructure, let alone fast chargers. That means those used to internal combustion vehicles don't want to be spending upwards of an hour at a charging station, as it typically takes just a few minutes to refuel a petrol or diesel vehicle. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. With that in mind, we've compiled a list of Australia's top 10 fastest-charging EVs based on manufacturer's claims. We're aware these claims may not apply to the real world, but the sole use of these claims should at least provide some consistency for comparison. Inadequate charging infrastructure is a factor behind the real-world accuracy of these claims, particularly in Australia. You'll notice the majority of cars here offer the same charging specifications as one another, and that's because all share similar construction and technology given they're all built by the same overarching automotive company. Click on a model in the table above to jump directly to its information on the page, or continue scrolling for the full article The first five cars on this list are all Hyundai Motor Group products and share a lot of the same EV tech. Built atop E-GMP architecture, the Ioniq 6 can supposedly charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 18 minutes. Peak power and torque outputs vary across the six-car range, but all Ioniq 6s have the same claimed charging specifications. You'll also find both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, though there are only two of the latter, and they'll both cost more than $83,000 once all is said and done. Battery capacities also range from 53kWh to 77.4kWh, offering different claimed WLTP range figures. All boast lithium-ion construction and are incorporated into E-GMP's 800V architecture. Hyundai's electric sedan ranges in price from $67,300 before on-roads for the base Ioniq 6 RWD to $86,500 before on-roads for the top-spec Epiq AWD. There is a new Ioniq 6 coming later this year, with more powerful variants to join the range. Hyundai vehicles are covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia, while its high-voltage EV batteries are covered for eight years or 160,000km.

It can supposedly charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 18 minutes at a 350kW DC fast charging rate. As with its 'streamliner' sedan counterpart, the Ioniq 5 is offered with varying power and torque outputs across the range, both of which peak with the performance Ioniq 5 N. There are 11 variants of the electric crossover, and it's more expensive than the Ioniq 6 depending on variant. Prices range from $69,800 before on-roads for the base Ioniq 5 RWD, extending to $110,383 before on-roads for the wild Ioniq 5 N AWD. All have the same claimed charging times despite offering lithium-ion batteries of varying capacities, with 800V architecture the headlining aspect of its construction. Like the Ioniq 6, the Ioniq 5 is covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia, and its high-voltage EV battery is covered for eight years or 160,000km.

Some are put off by price, while range anxiety continues to crop up for others. Perhaps the biggest factor is Australia's lack of widespread charging infrastructure, let alone fast chargers. That means those used to internal combustion vehicles don't want to be spending upwards of an hour at a charging station, as it typically takes just a few minutes to refuel a petrol or diesel vehicle. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. With that in mind, we've compiled a list of Australia's top 10 fastest-charging EVs based on manufacturer's claims. We're aware these claims may not apply to the real world, but the sole use of these claims should at least provide some consistency for comparison. Inadequate charging infrastructure is a factor behind the real-world accuracy of these claims, particularly in Australia. You'll notice the majority of cars here offer the same charging specifications as one another, and that's because all share similar construction and technology given they're all built by the same overarching automotive company. Click on a model in the table above to jump directly to its information on the page, or continue scrolling for the full article The first five cars on this list are all Hyundai Motor Group products and share a lot of the same EV tech. Built atop E-GMP architecture, the Ioniq 6 can supposedly charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 18 minutes. Peak power and torque outputs vary across the six-car range, but all Ioniq 6s have the same claimed charging specifications. You'll also find both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, though there are only two of the latter, and they'll both cost more than $83,000 once all is said and done. Battery capacities also range from 53kWh to 77.4kWh, offering different claimed WLTP range figures. All boast lithium-ion construction and are incorporated into E-GMP's 800V architecture. Hyundai's electric sedan ranges in price from $67,300 before on-roads for the base Ioniq 6 RWD to $86,500 before on-roads for the top-spec Epiq AWD. There is a new Ioniq 6 coming later this year, with more powerful variants to join the range. Hyundai vehicles are covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia, while its high-voltage EV batteries are covered for eight years or 160,000km. Interested in buying a Hyundai Ioniq 6? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here MORE: Everything Hyundai Ioniq 6 Back to top Also on E-GMP is the Ioniq 5, which is the poster child for Hyundai's performance EVs. It can supposedly charge from 10 to 80 per cent in 18 minutes at a 350kW DC fast charging rate. As with its 'streamliner' sedan counterpart, the Ioniq 5 is offered with varying power and torque outputs across the range, both of which peak with the performance Ioniq 5 N. There are 11 variants of the electric crossover, and it's more expensive than the Ioniq 6 depending on variant. Prices range from $69,800 before on-roads for the base Ioniq 5 RWD, extending to $110,383 before on-roads for the wild Ioniq 5 N AWD. All have the same claimed charging times despite offering lithium-ion batteries of varying capacities, with 800V architecture the headlining aspect of its construction. Like the Ioniq 6, the Ioniq 5 is covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia, and its high-voltage EV battery is covered for eight years or 160,000km. Interested in buying a Hyundai Ioniq 5? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here MORE: Everything Hyundai Ioniq 5 Back to top Kia offers a simplified range for its EV6 compared to the two Hyundai EVs featured so far. The EV6 shares the same fast charging rate of 350kW, for a claimed 10 to 80 per cent time of 18 minutes. There are four EV6 variants available: two RWD models and two AWDs, though all are fed by a 77.4kWh battery. This is a lithium-ion battery shared with the Ioniq 6, as both are built atop the 800V E-GMP architecture. Kia's sporty SUV-like EV ranges in price from $72,590 before on-roads for the base EV6 Air to $99,590 before on-roads for the powerful GT. The range-topping model also has the shortest claimed driving range, while the base spec has the longest. The EV6 is also more expensive than the Ioniq 5 at the bottom of the range, but it undercuts it at the top. Kia Australia backs its models with a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and its high-voltage EV batteries with a seven-year, 150,000km warranty. Interested in buying a Kia EV6? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here MORE: Everything Kia EV6 Back to top Genesis is the Hyundai Motor Group's luxury marque, and its only dedicated EV in Australia is the GV60 SUV. It has a lot in common with the EVs mentioned so far, and also has a claimed 10 to 80 per cent fast charging time of 18 minutes. There are only two variants of GV60 on sale in Australia: a standard version and a Performance version. Both feature dual-motor all-wheel drive and use the same 77.4kWh lithium-ion battery previously mentioned on this list. Like every car listed so far, it's also built atop its parent's 800V E-GMP EV architecture. Being a luxury model, it's also the most expensive car so far. The base GV60 is priced at $103,384 before on-roads, while the GV60 Performance costs $110,384 before on-roads – just one dollar more than the Ioniq 5 N. Genesis Australia backs its cars with a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty, and its high-voltage EV batteries with an eight-year, 160,000km warranty. Interested in buying a Genesis GV60? Get in touch with one of CarExpert's trusted dealers here MORE: Everything Genesis GV60 Back to top Though the updated Electrified GV70 is only open for expressions of interest at the moment, preliminary specifications are available. Like the other Hyundai Motor Group EVs to this point, it offers an 18-minute 10 to 80 per cent charging time at a DC rate of 350kW. Only one variant has so far been listed on Genesis Australia's online configurator, designated as Signature. It offers an 84kWh lithium-ion battery like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, and it's all-wheel drive with similar outputs to the GV60. Unlike the other cars so far, the Electrified GV70 is not built atop the 800V E-GMP architecture. Instead, that platform's technology has been adapted for use in the GV70's body, which is typically an internal combustion model. Like the GV60, the new Electrified GV70 will almost certainly be covered by a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty, and an eight-year, 160,000km warranty for its high-voltage EV battery.

Taycan trim levels include the base Taycan, 4, 4S, GTS, Turbo, Turbo S, and Turbo GT, and the latter can also be optioned with the wild Weissach Package. A Cross Turismo wagon version is also available alongside sedan versions of some variants. All models boast lithium-ion batteries, available in either 82.3kWh or 97kWh capacities depending on the variant. There's also a sharp increase in power and torque outputs as the models get more expensive, peaking at 580kW and 1340Nm for the top-spec Turbo GT. All of that comes at a cost, as prices range from $174,500 before on-roads for the base Taycan RWD to $419,000 before on-roads for the Turbo GT AWD. The Taycan is also built on 800V architecture and can charge at up to 350kW DC. Porsche Australia backs its cars with a three-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and its high-voltage EV batteries with an eight-year, 160,000km warranty. Interested in buying a Porsche Taycan?

It has the largest lithium-ion battery pack seen so far, with a capacity of 112kWh. Its 800V architecture allows it to charge at up to 355kW DC, providing the same charging time across its three-car range. Range decreases as the Eletre variants get more expensive, peaking at 600km for the base Eletre and dropping to 450km for the more performance-oriented Eletre R. As with other Lotus cars it's not exactly cheap, starting at $189,990 before on-roads for that base version and extending to $279,990 before on-roads for the flagship R. Lotus backs its Australian models with a five-year, 150,000km warranty, while the Eletre's high-voltage battery is good for eight years or 200,000km – the longest on this list.
