Hello! I just wanted to say that Hyundai Ioniq (first generation) is the best EV for me

Reasons:

  • Quite cheap (compared to other EV’s)
  • Great range (if only it mattered this much)
  • Good cargo space

And the most important thing

  • KNOBS! (oh god I hate and obsolutely despise touchscreen-only controls)

I acknowledge Nissan Leaf exist and I give it superiority over ioniq in design but only the pre-facelift model. Haha funny frog car. I love it :)

That’s it. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

If you know any more EV’s with knobs and buttons, share your sacred knowledge in the comments.

    I have a 2023 Bolt, it has knobs and buttons and switches, many of which are on the steering wheel and you can feel them easily. I got a used one for $15k, the range is great. I don’t really like how far down the climate controls are, if you have them memorized it’s not bad but if you have to look them you have to take your eyes way too far off the road. I also don’t like how the infotainment can alter physical car functions, not a fan of internet connected devices being able to control the car, that’s not specific to the bolt though, I hate where the car industry is going.

      I also have a bolt but the 2022 euv, the first mod* I did was to put terminators on the OnStar module so it can’t phone home, I use android auto for navigation so I don’t need any of the built in stuff. It quickly became my favorite car, we were going to get one of the lemon bolt Ev’s but after test driving the premier trim euv I felt it was worth the extra price for vented seats etc and more space for the car seat
