I have a 2017 and it's been a great vehicle to date. I get around 45 mpg on freeway, about 33-35 if I only do city driving. The only issue I've had is the truck lock stopped working. That was an easy fix I did myself.
Okay, but with some cheap drawbacks

I bought this car used, one year old for about $18k. Wanted to get a Sonata because you get more stuff with it. Kia is Hyundai's poor cousin. But this was all that was available at that time. The car was a 'Premium' which is the lesser of the two trims available. It was equipped with the Convenience Package, which includes power driver's seat with memory, rear vents, laminated front side glass, lighted front door handles and extra USB plugs. One reason I disliked this trim level is that the rear seatbacks don't fold down. The trunk is slightly smaller than the gas version and there is no spare tire, since the battery takes up that space. What I Liked About It: Good gas mileage, generally 35-37 mpg around town, 42-48 on the highway. Goes around corners better than Hyundai/Kia cars of the past. Does a good imitation of a gas car. Steering is rather light, but some may not like this. Acceleration is good but no rocket. 6-speed automatic gives prompt kickdown most of the time. Once in a while one could want more power, but it's a reasonable compromise. What I Didn't like: Kind of noisy, ride somewhat firm but not harsh. Tire pressure monitoring does not have a 'reset' button. When the weather get colder, tires lose pressure and an insistent light comes on and the dash center information area is taken over by a diagram that informs you of the low pressure in one of the tires. After researching this online, I learned the only way to make it shut off is to overinflate the offending tire by 5 lbs. and drive it around for a few miles. This seems rather chintzy. Problems with this car: When raising the left rear window, it was very slow to make the last inch of travel. Eventually the window cured itself without any intervention from me. The area where I live has a lot of speed bumps. Had to replace the front lower control arms @ 66K. Then when I went for an oil change was told that 3 of the tires were "cupped" meaning that all the struts were shot. This was at not quite 77k. The seemed to me premature, as they should have gone 100k. Perhaps it was the local speed bump condition that factored into this. Thinking of 1: having to spend about $1500 on struts and tires and 2: what would it do next decided it was time to trade it in, about 3 years ahead of the timeI had planned.
