Comparison of 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV and 2021 Ford Mach-e Base
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 was first produced for MY2022 with sales during much of 2021. It is a flagship model of the Ioniq sub-brand and first model developed on the Hyundai Electric Global Modular Platform. It is know for its Parametric Pixel design patterns that adorn the vehicle. It was released with 800V fast charging and vehicle-to-load capability. Hyundai's sister automaker Kia has released a very similar vehicle as the EV6.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is the first entry into the growing EV market as a compact crossover SUV. There was initial controversy over it using the iconic Mustang moniker. The vehicle won Car and Driver's first EV of the Year award.

¹Prices of electric vehicles are highly volatile and greatly depend on options and dealer charges included. The price show is an estimated price of the comparison vehicle including in the "ChargeDischarge.com" test.
²Manufacturer's often hold back some of the battery capacity to extend the battery life and/or are not forthcoming about the usable battery size.
³Efficiency greatly varies base on many factors. The value here is from testing at 70MPH. See references below.
⁴Similar to efficiency, the range value shown here is just the battery size times the efficiency. This gives an estimated MAX range for a full battery and driving at 70MPH.
⁵The Camry gas tank size of 15.8 gallons and efficiency of 38 miles/gallon has been converted to the battery equivalents.
Each bar in this graph represents the
Range Added with
20 Minutes of Charging for different
STARTING states of charge (SOC). This 20-minute charge mile rating is a common comparison metric for electric vehicles. It is a measurement of much range can you add with 20 minutes of charging. Even this will be greatly impacted by a variety of factors. A battery pack will charge faster when it is less 'full'.
The charge curve graphs here show for the
Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the
Ford Mach-e are a key part of the ChargeDischarge storyline for these two cars. The faster (more power) you can charge the faster you can add range. But do not forget that because the
Ioniq 5 is more efficient at an estimated
4.1 miles/kWh even at the same charge
rate it will be able to add range faster (see: Miles of Range per Charging Minute).
Each bar in this graph represents the
Number of Charging Minutes required to add
100 miles of Range for different
STARTING states of charge (SOC). It is another common comparison metric. This graph shows the values for both the
Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the
Ford Mach-e. Note that because the charging rate (power) will be reduced as the battery 'fills', the 100 miles of charging is faster when the battery is nearer to empty.
Although this
"Miles of Range per Charging Minute" graph is not seen as often as the charging curve above, it really is a better comparison tool as it includes the efficiency of each vehicle. In this case, the
Ioniq 5 will have its values 'improved' by its better efficiency.
