The Ioniq 5 won last year, and this year its new sedan sister, the Ioniq 6, does the same thing and wins.

The Genesis Electrified GV70 and the Kia EV6 GT also did very well, which helps paint a picture: the Hyundai-Kia-Genesis group is definitely ahead when it comes to EVs that play in the broad main market.
