6 years ago I paid 23k€ for my factory new Ioniq (that I am very happy with and already out 190k km on)
Damn I think we are getting fucked over on EV prices. I don't know about 6 years ago but now an Ioniq 5 costs $70k NZD for the cheapest model, that's 35k€.
The original Ioniq was a very different car with a tiny battery. The Ioniq 5 is a significantly improved beast and starts at 46k € where I live (we're a lower income country within the EU so our car prices have been adjusted to be higher than many other EU countries, accordingly).
That's similar to what an Ioniq 5 costs here at the moment as well, but that's also a significantly better car than the classic Ioniq. A better comparison would be the current Hyundai Inster, which is smaller but has similar range
