About the Ioniq, we compared the Fuelly numbers for the Gen-4 Prius ECO versus the Ioniq Blue and the user reported mileage suggests there may be a problem:

Remove the 0 MPG bucket cars - probably data entry error
Remove the single car buckets - outliers are likely to be single car
51.6 MPG - Ioniq Blue, 18 cars (58 MPG EPA combined)
58.1 MPG - Prius ECO, 29 cars (56 MPG EPA combined)
I do not own either a Prius ECO or Ioniq Blue. Both of our cars are plugin hybrids and +95% of our miles are electric.

Looks like a Classic made for the EPA test scenario,
Chevy cars have the same issue

Easiest way for .gov to stop the nonsense would be to list the speed the car can drive continuously on the highway and achieve the epa MPG

Many Chevies and apparently Hyundai have EPA crossover speeds around 50mph
Which everyone knows is a good way to lie.

Same thing for winter, there should be a 15 degree F (or lower) EPA winter city metric for cars to encourage better winter efficiency.
