Mechanical range and gearboxes of the Hyundai Ioniq 6
One of the main causes of the accumulation of delays in the launch of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 is the rapid improvement in electric technologies. The Korean group has introduced new battery formats in its most modern electric models, and these want to be used and used in the case of the sedan.
