Hyundai Ioniq 5 Drives Nearly 20,000 KM to the Arctic Ocean on a Single Charge… Sort Of
You wouldn't typically take an electric crossover to the Arctic Circle. You'd take a shovel, a thermos, and maybe a Ford Super Duty filled with regret. But one stock Hyundai Ioniq 5 has just completed a 19,743-kilometer round trip from Ontario to the Arctic Ocean - and back - without a drop of man behind the wheel, Patrick Nadeau, set off from Hyundai Canada's headquarters in Markham on April 24, reaching the remote town of Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, by June 10. His car? A showroom-spec 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Preferred AWD with the Ultimate Package, wrapped for visibility, but otherwise untouched. The real test wasn't range. It was resilience - and the Ioniq 5 passed on both fronts. This was no lightly padded road trip. Over nearly 20,000 kilometers, Nadeau's Ioniq 5 averaged 18.9 kWh/100 km, needed 87 charging stops, and carried 400 pounds of gear - including a full-size spare. Total cost in electricity? Just $1,403 CAD - or around $1,025 USD - for a journey that would've cost more than twice that with this wasn't the high-performance Ioniq 5 N, the $66,000 beast that Hyundai recently dropped a competitive lease deal on. This was the more grounded, long-range version, and that made the feat more relevant - especially for real-world EV buyers who are less interested in drift modes and more concerned with how their EV will perform on a winter course, for those still cross-shopping the Ioniq 5 N, experts have suggested there might be better value in trims like the Limited or Preferred unless you're heading straight for a race track. This journey underscores that point - a factory-standard Ioniq 5 handled thousands of kilometers, gravel roads, flooded ferry crossings, and wildfire detours with zero mechanical complaints. It's what you'd call a stress test in the real world. Hyundai also used the trip to support its Hope on Wheels campaign, shooting virtual reality content that will soon be delivered to children's hospitals across Canada. The goal: provide young patients with immersive VR experiences of Canada's north, bringing the Arctic into treatment rooms through the eyes of the Ioniq 5's mission aligned nicely with the Ioniq 5's broader appeal - a car that's as comfortable in slushy city commutes as it is charging through the Yukon. As we saw in our review of the refreshed 2025 Ioniq 5 Limited, the car blends performance, comfort, and usability in a way that's steadily won over skeptics. After reaching the Arctic Ocean and pausing briefly in Ucluelet, British Columbia during the 2026 Ioniq 9 media launch, Nadeau turned the journey home into a rapid-fire sprint, averaging over 1,000 km per day. A trip that started as a slow-paced sightseeing mission became a no-nonsense return leg that proved the Ioniq 5's rapid charging ability and fatigue-free ride charging miracles. No super-secret prototype tweaks. Just a regular Ioniq 5 and a bit of planning - the same kind of trip more EV drivers may soon find themselves attempting as infrastructure short, this wasn't just a road trip. It was a rolling case study - not in speculation, but in execution. The Ioniq 5 didn't just survive the Arctic. It made it look easy. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Fastest charger to be added to Singapore's EV charging network by Q4 in 2025
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Huawei Digital Power Singapore managing director Deng Ming (left) and SP Mobility's managing director Dean Cher at the signing of a memorandum of understanding to work on developing advanced EV charging solutions in Singapore. SINGAPORE – The electric vehicle (EV) charging network here will get a boost in the fourth quarter of 2025 with the launch of an ultra-fast charger that is capable of adding over 200km of driving range in five minutes. This is nearly 10 times faster than the existing fast chargers that can take over 40 minutes to deliver the same amount of electricity. The ultra-fast charger by Chinese tech giant Huawei will be located at a public carpark at Temasek Polytechnic in Tampines. It will have at least four charging points, joining SP Mobility's network of 20 charging points across the three carparks at the polytechnic. SP Mobility is a subsidiary of utilities provider SP Group. Besides electric cars, it will also support electric commercial vehicles and private buses, which often cannot get to charging spaces that are located in public carparks because of weight or size restrictions. A spokesman for SP Mobility and Huawei told The Straits Times that the site serves as a strategic transport hub for the eastern part of Singapore. The ultra-fast charger has a 480 kilowatt (kW) rating, referring to its maximum power output – which can be directed to a single vehicle or distributed among several EVs simultaneously. Existing charging points in Singapore range between 3.7kW and 250kW. The actual charging speed is determined not only by the specification of the charger but also by the EV's capability.

The BYD T9, which is a heavy-duty large truck, can be charged at up to 184kW. Pricing for the use of the new charging points has not been announced, but it will cost more than the 76.3 cents to 81.8 cents per kilowatt-hour at SP Mobility's existing fast chargers. This is to reflect the charger's higher power capacity and infrastructure costs, said the spokesman. The ultra-fast charger uses liquid cooling technology for it to be able to dispense electricity at speed while achieving high energy efficiency and with minimal maintenance, he added. It also has an integrated energy storage system, which works like a battery to store electricity that can be readily dispensed to an EV when needed. The deployment at Temasek Polytechnic with SP Mobility is the first project under the partnership in 2024 between Huawei and a subsidiary of the Land Transport Authority to introduce the Chinese firm's ultra-fast chargers in Singapore's public EV charging network. Mr Dean Cher, managing director of SP Mobility, told ST that the company has been looking for sites to put in fast chargers that can serve heavy commercial vehicles and buses to cater to the growing population. SP Mobility and Huawei said that they will be working together to look for other sites to deploy ultra-fast chargers. They will also be working on supporting the adoption of electric commercial vehicles, such as logistics fleets and private buses, which have long operational hours and high daily mileage. In line with this effort, the charging operator will be the EV charging solution partner for the logistics and heavy vehicle operations of Goldbell Group, an established player in commercial vehicle leasing and distribution. As at May 2025, there are 5,806 fully electric commercial vehicles and buses, up from 4,949 units in 2024 and 3,580 units in 2023.

What Does It Cost To Maintain a Tesla Monthly Compared to Other Popular EVs?
Tesla's electric vehicles are known for their minimal routine maintenance needs, thanks to a streamlined design with far fewer moving parts than gas-powered cars, regenerative braking that extends brake life while recharging the battery and the complete elimination of oil changes. These factors translate into fewer mechanical failures, less hassle and long-term savings. Explore More: Consider This: However, they still incur some upkeep costs over time. According to Tesla and industry data, each of Tesla's four main models averages only $30 to $40 in monthly maintenance. GOBankingRates unpacks how much those Tesla maintenance costs compare to other EV competitors. $3,258 over 10 years $326 per year $27 per month $3,994 over 10 years $400 per year $33 per month Read Next: $3,972 over 10 years $397 annually $33 per month $4,848 over 10 years $485 per year $40 per month It should come as a surprise to learn that Tesla still dominates the electric vehicle market, accounting for a significant share of the 1.3 million EVs sold in 2024. But other manufacturers are starting to catch up. In 2024, the Ford Mustang Mach-E was the best-selling electric car outside of Tesla, with 51,745 units sold. It was followed by the Hyundai Ioniq 5, which sold around 44,400 units, and the Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup, which sold around 33,500 units. But how do their maintenance costs compare? $5,332 over 10 years $533 per year $44 per month $5,043 over 10 years $504 per year $44 per month $6,573 over 10 years $657 per year $55 per month In short, these popular non-Tesla EVs have slightly higher monthly maintenance costs than Tesla's sedans and SUVs. But either way, all of these EVs cost less to maintain per month than equivalent gas vehicles. For context, conventional gasoline cars tend to incur higher maintenance expenses. They require regular oil changes, filter replacements tune-ups and more frequent brake servicing. According to AAA, maintenance, repairs and tires for an average gas car cost about 10.13 cents per mile. For a typical driver (around 1,000 to 1,200 miles per month), that equates to roughly $100 to $125 in monthly maintenance costs. In other words, a gas sedan or SUV might run close to over $1,200 per year in upkeep, which is noticeably above the $300 to $600 per year that the top electric models mentioned above are estimated to require. While Tesla continues to lead the pack in both EV sales and low maintenance costs, other electric vehicles are growing in popularity and affordability over time. Compared to gas-powered cars, both Tesla and its top EV competitors have a clear financial advantage when it comes to keeping monthly upkeep simple.

Hyundai, Kia outpace competition in safety ratings
Over 100 models of Korean auto conglomerate earn top safety recognition from US institute Hyundai Motor Group has earned the highest number of top safety recognitions from the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety over the past five years, the Korean auto conglomerate said Friday. According to the auto group, its three brands — Hyundai Motor Company, Kia, and Genesis — combined for a total of 106 Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick Plus ratings from the IIHS between 2021 and 2025, followed by Toyota Group with 80 and Volkswagen Group with 62. The IIHS, established in 1959, is a non-profit organization that evaluates vehicles sold in the US. Its annual safety ratings serve as a major benchmark for the automotive industry's safety standards. The Korean auto conglomerate's safety technology has earned top ratings in Europe as well. The European New Car Assessment Programme, or Euro NCAP, awarded its maximum five-star ratings to all electric vehicles launched by Hyundai Motor Group in the region, including the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, the Kia EV6, EV9, EV3, and the Genesis GV60. The Euro NCAP has been releasing annual assessments of cars sold in Europe since 1997, based on four protection criteria: adult passengers, child passengers, pedestrians, and safety assistance systems. Hyundai Motor Group pointed its safety-first research and development efforts as a key factor behind its continuous growth on the international stage. The auto conglomerate sold 5.4 million cars in 2021, 5.61 million in 2022, 5.97 million in 2023 and 5.98 million in 2024 worldwide. According to Hyundai Motor, each model undergoes over 100 crash simulations along with an average of about 3,000 virtual crash tests using supercomputers to refine safety systems to ensure the maximum level of safety. The Korean auto conglomerate has developed multi-frame structural designs, ultra-high strength steel and structural adhesives to enhance the rigidity of vehicle bodies. The group has crafted a number of advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS, such as forward collision-avoidance assistance, lane keeping assistance, lane departure warning and intelligent speed limit assistance to advance the level of safe driving.
