Even though sales of electric vehicles aren’t growing as fast as in past years and President-elect Donald Trump may ditch tax credits for EV buyers, automakers are moving ahead with new models that should appeal to mainstream buyers.
Family haulers are the latest to see a new entry, with Hyundai unveiling the Ioniq 9 electric SUV on Wednesday night ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show, where it will be displayed. The show’s press day is Thursday, and it runs until Dec. 1.
“We’re starting to see some of that proliferation throughout segments,” she said. “That’s part of advancing electric vehicle sales.” The Hyundai can go from 0 to 60 mph as fast as 4.9 seconds, and comes with a built-in NACS charging port, the Tesla standard that’s being adopted by nearly all electric vehicle makers. At a 350-kilowatt fast charging station, the Ioniq 9 can go from a 10% battery charge to 80% in 24 minutes, the company says.
The price of the Ioniq 9 wasn’t released, but Brinley said it almost certainly will cost more than Hyundai’s comparable gasoline vehicle, the Palisade, which starts at $36,800 excluding shipping.
