Your figures match what people have been posting since those cars came out alright. Enjoy.

I'm surprised the ioniq is so low (not questioning it, just surprised). I drive mine 90% motorway and 90% at least 120km actual and still get 170-180 GOM

Probably a very hilly area (as OP mentions). That's where the heavy Ioniq would lose out to the much lighter and smaller Zoe. Zoe is relatively good when you drive at lower speeds on rural roads, Ioniq is relatively good at motorway driving.

Not sure where you got that from, neither are particularly heavy nor light cars:
Ioniq Electric kerb weight is 1,435 kg
Zoe ZE40 is 1,480 kg (very little variation between the different versions)

That's mad, I would have expected zeo to be considerably lighter, given its relative size

The Ioniq uses an aluminium bonnet, hatch, and suspension components, whereas the Zoe doesn't appear to use any particularly special materials. The Zoe weighs over 400 kg than a typical petrol Clio, even though the battery is only about 300 kg - not sure what's going on there...

That is mad. Here we go. Assumption is the mother of all fukc ups

Thanks for the lesson, zilog_jones.
