Among EVs, Ford’s Mach-E and Lightning have done this best.
Their app is Tesla good, phone as a key works, Carplay/Android Auto are not only wireless but it also supports EV route planning/preconditioning via Google and Apple Maps.
This stuff is so easy my 65 year old dad who thought he lost Google when the Chrome icon disappeared on his phone can figure it out.
In 2025 Ioniq, I haven't tried how stable it is but.....
Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto don’t support EV route planning or battery preconditioning.
Not only do you still need to use the built-in Hyundai navigation system for those features,
But also, to make it work properly, you have to start Carplay first, then turn on the onboard nav. If you reverse the order, it cancels the Hyundai route planning/whatever.
Low key the Hyundai and Kia apps also really suck.
I expect Hyundais' new OS coming in 2026/27 will fix this
