The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is rated 78 MPGe (84 city, 72 highway) — that is not petrol economy but the distance it covers on 33.7 kWh, the energy held in one gallon. Drawn from a socket it needs 43.2 kWh per 100 miles, so 12,000 miles a year costs about $881 at $0.17 a kWh. The EPA's own annual figure for it is $950.

Which Ioniq 5 N version is the most efficient?
The Electric at 78 MPGe.
Is the Ioniq 5 N efficient compared with similar cars?
Against other Electric cars it sits below the average of 101 MPGe, computed across 426 ratings.
Are these real-world Ioniq 5 N figures?
No — they are EPA laboratory ratings, the same ones printed on the window sticker, and EPA's own annual fuel estimate for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is $950 against the $881 we compute at 12,000 miles. Expect a little worse in practice: the spread between the city and highway figures is smaller than the spread between two drivers of the same one.
