Hyundai Ioniq 5: charging cost vs gas
We've set the Hyundai Ioniq 5 as your EV below. Pick the gas car you'd compare against, set your prices and miles, and see the real cost difference — and the break-even.
Efficiency 3.2 mi/kWh
EPA range 300 mi
From ~$42,000
Typical gas rival 27 mpg
The Ioniq 5 pairs ~3.2 mi/kWh efficiency with famously fast charging. Against a 27-mpg gas crossover it cuts running cost per mile substantially, and its 800-volt system makes the rare public fast-charge quick and less painful.
It's a roomy, comfortable EV whose running-cost advantage over gas is strongest, as always, when you charge at home.
What to keep in mind
- ~3.2 mi/kWh beats a gas crossover clearly on fuel cost.
- Ultra-fast charging softens the cost/time hit of road-trip charging.
- Home charging delivers the lowest cost per mile.
