That seems kind of strange, but INL testing should hash things out, assuming it isn't cut by the new administration.

I've often thought the epa highway rating cross over speed at say 50 degrees F should be listed.

Doing so would remove any testing bias since cars with higher crossover speeds would actually perform.

Most GM products have a cross over speed of only 50mph, Hondas usually 65mph

Next the Ioniq is sort of vaporware , it should have been on sale MONTHS now.

It's possible they aren't achieving their goals and new management sees low gas prices and wants to delay.

Hopefully it means we get a much better product
