On a related note, the NHTSA just opened an investigation into the Ioniq5 due to reports that some Ioniqs are losing power while being driven. Not a full recall as of yet but enough complaints, around 30, to warrant a closer look. https://www.caranddrive

I get 4.5+ mi/kWh in my Niro driving in Urban/Suburban environments. I coast whenever possible and let the car automatically slow down using regen as I approach stopped/slowing vehicle (it does this even with ACC off), I can also long-hold the left paddle shifter to brake using full regen. This driving style results in better efficiency and more comfort (my leg can by off the pedal and fully relaxed for a majority of driving time).

In any case, it's probably best to lease electric cars until the plugs are standardized, which is happening, if you can deal with the limitations of a lease. Also, a lease with a Hyundai is where you can get the $7500 tax credit, if you qualify. If you won't qualify because you earn too much money, then it can be worth buying instead of leasing.
First, almost ALL car mark-up is the dealer's fault and the 'drive it off the lot and it loses value' is straight up them taking their cut as a middle-man.
Ask yourself - does any other high value item 'immediately' lose value after purchase? Not really, your home doesn't plummet in price and you take title on that even too. Even more consumable things like a decent laptop that you paid $400 for isn't suddenly only worth $7.38 if you attempted to resell it the next week. In fact, I've bought electronics and sold them months later and recouped 90% of my original purchase price and those are items that DO depreciate fast.
Simple economics tells you an item's value is worth what a person is willing to buy it at and you're willing to sell. Simply because it's 'used' doesn't shouldn't really make any difference - especially with warranties being transferable in many situations. I'll go back to a house - you take title on that too like a car - nobody worries when the ink is dry on your deed the house will suddenly plummet $50,000. Dealers are the reason, see below:
Dealers are one of the only industries that have laws in all 50 states to protect their business as 'needing to exist'. Even liquor has become more lax in many states and you can buy directly or there are local work-arounds for small craft brewers or distillers. Why is this? Cars are a pretty high ticket item and I don't think anyone is worried about the health of the industry? And even so, let capitalism do what it does and weed out those that don't perform well. It's because car dealers have enmeshed themselves with local politicians to line both their coffers - local government LOVES the tax revenue from sales - sales tax on a $25,000 item is a lot and people don't usually care as much because it's rolled into a loan. The dealers love it because they are a legally enforced gestapo.
To your point on rejecting them - this applied more before the pandemic, but I think they are holding onto that to produce less cheap cars and REALLY inflate car pricing. You just don't buy a car with the package crap added. I live in a big city, so I emailed half a dozen dealers asking about the model I wanted and to forward me a full pricing structure with taxes, and any 'fees' they may add. I compared and sent those offers to the other dealers saying beat it. I showed up and the second any price changed I left. I paid exactly what I wanted a fair value for my most recent vehicle.
I like Tesla, but they are also onto the right model here. Yes, Geo, Saturn, and Scion all tried the 'no hassle' price but when you're an extension of the companies that love to do that and serviced at the same dealership, it's really just smoke and mirrors. Tesla though is ground up from the maker to the buyer. People seem pretty happy to go online and see a price, hit 'order' and put a small deposit down and then go get their car for the same price they saw and no hours long fib-fest. No dealer 'mark up' because it's a nice model and they 'intercepted' all the models of that vehicle which was really a back-end deal with the other dealers to ensure each one is the only source of a specific 'cool' model.
Leasing - unless you have a very niche job requiring specific use of a car (traveling salesman who drives 30,000 miles a year) or you're mega rich - it's throwing cash down the drain. Most people keep a car for years and leases require money down, high rates, and have severe driving limitations. I'll be conservative, but for 95% or more buyers, leasing is a super dumb proposition. I'm not saying you have to go the Dave Ramsey route too and only buy a 2003 Corolla with the cash you saved, but leasing is a poor financial decision for most.
Lastly, your point on charging - the war is over soon I'm betting with Tesla's standard being adopted by GM and Ford - Given these 3 companies are also the top 3 EV sellers in the USA... it's about over. And even then, there's essentially just the 2 main plug types you see in the USA - Tesla's NACS (and now Ford/GM). The other is the CCS1 which uses the J1772 plug for level 2 and Tesla's come with an adapter for that anyway. So... I don't understand this worry? Cross-country charging? Even today we have different standards for electricity which would dictate some plugs or adapters and what % of people worry about charging their American car in China or Spain? I suppose you mean Hyundai, BMW, etc are being left out, so yeah maybe don't buy them, but to my final point:
Hyundai is a horrible car company. I get most car companies are bad in some way, but Hyundai has a dog crap reputation. They were trash cars in the 80s and 90s and into the early 2000s. After that, they got marginally better, mostly propelled by the 10 year warranty which having many family members who owned them was used liberally and shouldn't be an excuse to make a bad car 'they'll just fix it under warranty'. They got slammed in the 2010s for the fuel efficiency lies and had to pay people yearly for lost gas.
Then there's the Theta engine issue... I mean, wow. Just wow.
Then there's the whole theft issue where a grip of cars made until recently by Hyundai can be stolen with a paper clip and gum. And I read an article only a month or so ago that theft for the cars continues to increase and pour in.
So, regardless of dealers or charging, don't buy a Hyundai. They are a trash car company
Edit:
Before someone calls me out, I guess there is whatever charging type the Nissan Leaf used - superchademo or whatever. That's a dead end in the USA itself, but Nissan and chademo are a topic for another day.
What about the engine recalls for blowing up? You know, the class action lawsuit they lost?
I am one of thousands that they had to replace the engine. I've had more recalls on my Sonata then all other cars I've ever owned.
Blah blah blah blah blah

With Tesla getting the rebate and cheaper it is eating up all other EV's now, and anyone who has a CCS vehicle is regretting it. I have a Tesla and an Ioniq and I will tell you I will never buy another CCS vehicle ever. With the magic dock coming locally now, maybe not as bad but in general I literally hate CCS and J-connectors. The public charging experience is not even close. We take the PHEV (SantaFe) on the road now, even superchargers are getting jammed up w/ CCS vehicles taking up multiple spaces and generally not have any etiquette.
If I understood that correctly, then wouldn't be more of a headache for existing Tesla owners since their stations are now getting crowded?

No- because only a small % of stations have the jack- and it's primarily the least used ones.
Tesla has detailed stats on station usage after all.
Not to mention they keep building more superchargers a lot faster than anyone who isn't Tesla is actually ramping production of EVs

I miss the days of more subsidized leases. That is when they could really save you. Could get $40k car with nothing down and $400 or less a month. These $1k/mo payments are brutal.
Go EVs!
I haven't seen a lot of good lease deals in the last few years, to be honest.
But really, a lease is just like a purchase these days. I've "traded in" leases for new cars. I've returned leases with substantially more milage than on the contract. I've made money on leases too.
For most people who don't know how to lease...don't. For those of us that do, they can be a great way to get a car for less.

Daughter has a 2022 model with the engine immobilizer, but has had two theft attempts anyways because thieves don't verify the VIN before they shatter your windows and destroy your steering column.
Seriously, check with your auto insurance before buying KIA/Hyundai because they might refuse to insure it. The theft problem is that bad.
