Is there a community consensus 'best' e-car right now? (lemmy.world)

Sort of in the way that the Mazda Miata is well known in the right circles for being such an affordable blast to drive, are there models of electric cars that are universally lauded? I'm specifically asking for what's fun to drive like the Miata but am curious abuout fun to own as well as best all rounder.

I don't have a commute so it would 100% be for outings and fun drives.

I've heard literally nothing bad about the ioniq 5 since it came out, just rave reviews on all sides in every category, including fun.

They have an issue with something called the ICCU, which causes the 12V accessory battery to die, sometimes while driving. There is a recall on affected cars.

That said, I am leasing a 2024 and it really is a great car. I had the recall performed, but I also never experienced the failure. I have noticed an uptick since then in the car recharging the 12V (identified by the bright amber lamp illuminated on the dash while the car is off), so maybe it’s working. Though, my issue with the car is no rear wiper. It should have had a wiper. The 2025s do, but Hyundai incorrectly thought the first years needed them.
