If an Ioniq 5 is a poor choice, I would love to know what a good choice is. Its energy usage is comparable to the vast majority of SUVs and it can charge at up to 227kW. The lack of good fast charger is certainly a difference compared to many areas.

Only the Long Range version of the Ioniq5 has decent range IMO. And BTW, the fact that it's an SUV is precisely a downside about it; smaller cars would have obviously more efficiency.

It's worth noting that at least EU vs US, most the the better quality EVs are not available. Almost all the long range and more efficient EVs are Chinese-made and are not available in the US. My understanding is that the vast majority of EVs in the EU are these Chinese-made ones because of their hugely superior performance.

I don't know if Canada has the same restrictions on EVs, and I definitely can't speak to longevity or quality of the Chinese-made EVs, only to the charging speed and range. BYD for example is one of these Chinese-made brands prohibited in the US but leading the industry in performance.
