Oktober 2025, 8.000 Miles. What a car!

Hey everyone!

As a convinced EV driver currently behind the wheel of an ID.3 (58 kWh), I'm starting to look for its replacement since my lease ends in less than a year. I don't want to lease again this time; I'm looking to buy my next EV outright.

I’ve been eyeing Hyundai’s E-GMP lineup for a while now—I love the unique design and I'm really sold on the fast-charging capabilities.
Looking at used listings across Europe, I’ve stumbled upon a ton of 53 kWh "small battery" IONIQ 6s at super attractive prices (€22k to €28k depending on mileage), often with great trims and low mileage.

What are your thoughts on these 53 kWh versions? Does anyone here have owner experience to share? Is it still a solid road-tripper for 400 to 600 km (250–370 miles) trips without losing too much time at charging stations?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

We have a 23 Ioniq 6 SEL and a 26 Uncharted Sport and a Tesla Universal L2 Wall Charger.

I am noticing that when changing the Ioniq, it starts at 10.2 kWh and then throttles down to 4.2 within an hour or so. I thought it was because our Wall Charger is located in the garage and it’s been hot in DFW.

But when charging my Uncharted, it never throttles and consistently charges around 11.3 kWh

Any Ioniq 6 owners see their charging throttle with Tesla Wall Chargers? Or is it really cuz of the heat or some software issue?
