Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Unfortunately Tesla Model Y is again the most sold car. But only due to heavy marketing campaigns, and buyback of you old car.
It's absolutely insane, because the Ioniq 6 has 20% longer range, and is 10% cheaper, has more and better features, and is not a deathtrap.
Tesla Model Y:
https://www.tesla.com/da_dk/modely/design#overview
Hyundai Ioniq 6:
https://www.hyundai.dk/bestil/ioniq-6?bodystyle=5643&enginetype=BEV&capacity=-1&trim=5650&powertrain=5659&exterior=8635&interior=8636&cs=summary
Hyundai Ioniq 6: 614km range, 350 kW charging, price 295,000 DKK (including taxes)
Tesla Model Y: 500 km range, 120-250 kW charging, price 339,000 DKK. (including taxes)
Charging for the Tesla is not specified on their site for Denmark, probably because the claim of 250 kW found in other places is outright false, it generally only delivers half of that, and best result I could find was 170 kW.
The Hyundai is so much better in every way it's outright insane that people buy the Model Y!!
The build quality of the Hyundai is better too!
The Good News:
Even though Model Y sold well, VW group again leaves the competition in the dust with 6 models in the top 10, and sales among them was 3822, almost twice of the Model Y, and although Tesla also has Model 3, VW group also has several other models, like Cupra.
Tesla sales remains down by 42% for the year.
PS:
I forgot, of course the reason Ioniq doesn't sell as well, must be because it doesn't come with free Swastika stickers.
I live in Denmark, and my next car will be electric (e-scenic and xpeng g6 are the best candidates for my needs). I would get ioniq 6, but it's ugly as fuck. I'm sorry, it just is.
Ioniq 5 is, in contrary, one of the coolest-looking cars I see now, but it's not what I need.
My requirements are 500+ km range and quick 20-80 charging, because we will use it for travels, and the car should be quite big because there are 4 of us plus camping equipment. Our current Ceed SW PHEV does its job, but when it's time to switch, I'm going electric - I'm not scared of charging issues anymore.
BTW, I have no idea, why 20-80 charging times are not advertised more: the reason of my anxiety was that 7-9h number for 100% charging, and only several conversations with e-car owners gave me an understanding that I don't want 100% charging, I want 30min bumps when I'm eating and stretching my legs!
I'm in Denmark too, and I admit the Xpeng G6 looks really attractive.
We don't drive much, so IMO it's overkill to buy a new car. We are looking for something a few years old.
There are a lot of good options for new cars just around DKK 300-350k price including tax. (EUR 40-45k)
Personally I'd prefer the Enyaq iV 80, but it's very expensive as 2nd hand, although the VW iD4 cost the same from new, it's way cheaper used for some reason.
7-9 hour charging is only home charging, I don't know why that's a problem, I guess you have to sleep anyway?
New cars typically charge from 10-80% between 20 to 30 minutes at a charging station. The Xpeng G6 however is very fast, and does it in less than 15 minutes.
But that's not the most optimal charging for most cars either, charging curve is different for different cars, but typically charging speed drops at around 50-60% to protect the battery, so if you only charge it up half, it's way more than twice as fast.
This guy makes some amazing tests on distance driving and charging speeds:

He has also made tests for the Xpeng G6:

Ioniq 6 is more akin to model 3
Ioniq 5 is model y competitor
No I don't think so, Ioniq 6 is the longer heavier car, and the more expensive of the 2.
Compared with Ioniq 5 the Model Y is even more expensive.
But the Ioniq 5 is a bit taller. So if that's your only measurement I guess it is?!

More about form factor. Most people look for vehicles by class, not by weight
