Hyundai Ioniq 6
Charging curve · consumption · motorway range
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 has 74 kWh of usable battery and peaks at 233 kW on a DC charger. In this app's model it uses about 140 Wh/km at a steady 100 km/h and 198 Wh/km at 130, so 41% more energy per kilometre buys you 30 km/h more speed. Weigh that against a 19-minute 10-80% charging stop and you have the whole question of how fast to drive.

DC charging curve
Charging power against state of charge, on a charger fast enough not to be the limit. Peak power is 233 kW, but it has halved by about 67% state of charge. That is why a short stop low down the curve usually beats a long one near the top.
How long a stop takes
| Charge from | Time | Energy added | Average power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10% to 80% | 19 min | 51.8 kWh | 161 kW |
| 20% to 80% | 17 min | 44.4 kWh | 153 kW |
| 10% to 60% | 10 min | 37.0 kWh | 216 kW |
| 20% to 70% | 12 min | 37.0 kWh | 187 kW |
| 80% to 100% | 31 min | 14.8 kWh | 29 kW |

Consumption and range by cruise speed
Steady motorway cruising on flat road in mild weather, from the fitted model Wh/km = 56 + 0.0084 · v². The “usable range” column is the honest one for trip planning: it is 100% down to 10%, because nobody arrives on empty.
| Cruise speed | Consumption | Range (full pack) | Usable range (100 to 10%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90 km/h | 124 Wh/km | 597 km | 537 km |
| 100 km/h | 140 Wh/km | 529 km | 476 km |
| 110 km/h | 158 Wh/km | 469 km | 422 km |
| 120 km/h | 177 Wh/km | 418 km | 376 km |
| 130 km/h | 198 Wh/km | 374 km | 336 km |
| 140 km/h | 221 Wh/km | 335 km | 302 km |
| 150 km/h | 245 Wh/km | 302 km | 272 km |
| 160 km/h | 271 Wh/km | 273 km | 246 km |
What the model does not include
- Elevation. The trip planner does account for climbs and descents; the range figures on this page are flat-road, so an alpine route will come out worse than the table.
- Temperature. These are mild-weather numbers. Cold raises consumption and cuts the charging curve. The planner models both. The numbers on this page do not.
- Wind, rain, roof boxes, payload and tyre choice, all of which move real consumption more than most people expect.
- Charger-side limits. The charging times above assume the site can deliver whatever the car asks for. A 150 kW cabinet shared with the car next to you will not.
Where these numbers come from
Hyundai/Kia E-GMP 800 V platform — peak power held nearly flat to ~45-50% SoC, then a steep taper, so these cars want short stops taken low. Curated from Fastned model guides + P3 Charging Index style tests. Cd 0.21 — the slipperiest car in this list, so the speed penalty bites later than on the Ioniq 5 it shares a pack with.
What speed should you actually drive?
It depends on your route, on where the fast chargers happen to be and how the legal limits fall. Plan the real trip and the simulator will sweep every cruise speed against this car's curves and tell you which one arrives first.
