Just take the roulette wheels. Power spoke is just too finicky as you need specialized tools for changing tires and balancing unless you plan on using the dealership.
You're lucky your policeman friend didn't call for back-up. I've never been able to drift my SE--you must have really cranked it around that corner!
. The Ioniq charges twice as fast at a D/C charger than other EVs. For long trips, you could easily replace your other ICE family vehicle. By the time you take your family to the bathroom and eat a snack, the Ioniq would be charged (20 min to go from 10% to 80%). Charging on D/C you won't want to charge past 80% as the charging slows down to protect the battery and the cost which is by minute goes up. You will find for a daily commute that you would need to charge maybe once every ten days or two weeks. I charge maybe once or twice a month on a Level 1 plugged into a 110v receptacle overnight. For a family the Ionic is an ideal size. The Kona EV is the right size for a retired couple. You will find that a vehicle with a larger battery, you will not have range anxiety. I can drive from Vancouver BC to Tacoma WA back north to Everett WA on one charge. I routinely drive from Vancouver to Kelowna BC with one top off charge on the way. Range anxiety is not even an issue, despite major steep elevation gains. I have seriously looked into the Ioniq - the quicker charging is a great temptation. But I swore to my wife that this would be the last vehicle that I purchase. Temperature is a non issue as the Hyundai EVs use a heat pump to keep the battery at optimal temps when charging and driven. I calculated that if I were to D/C charge daily for twenty years for my commute, I would still have a 90% battery capacity at the end of that time (see the graph). There has been some concern over battery fires, but a recent study showed that ICEs catch fire 3 times more than an EV. You cannot go wrong with the Hyundai Ioniq. You get what you pay for.
That figure was for Nissan Leaf Gen1 battery testing under Xu, A. Oudalov, A. Ulbig, G. Andersson and D. Kirschen, "Modeling of Lithium-Ion Battery Degradation for Cell Life Assessment," June 2016. If you actually looked into their Dynamic Stress Test (DST) procedure, it was Nissan Leaf Gen 1 batteries at a 1C rate.
It makes no sense to compare a MINI Cooper SE with a giant SUV. One is for fun and the other is for utility. I wish Consumer reports would test the MINI Cooper SE, but all I could find on the Consumer Reports website was this information on a gas-powered MINI Cooper:
BMW i3s but close enough. They detuned the torque curve in 2017+ because there were reports of damage to the rear chassis on the BMW i3 for 2014-2016 due to HARD launches.
