Brakes are unaffected and owners can continue to drive their cars until recall work is completed, Hyundai says.

The boxier look may help allow some visual separation between it and the fully electric Ioniq 7 that's on the way.

The Ioniq 5 N is expected to launch later this year, likely competing against the similarly sized Tesla Model Y Performance and the Kia EV6 GT.

No recall has been issued, yet, but the NHTSA's investigating the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 over sudden power loss complaints.

And the Ioniq 6 SE Long Range, with a larger battery pack, offers a 361-mile range that outdoes all current Model 3 variants.

Reduced lease rates on these models are due to a $7,500 incentive Hyundai is offering on leases for these models—likely federal money passed down as a subsidy.

Hyundai confirmed that a smaller 48.6-kwh battery pack is U.S.-bound—and with nearly 200 miles of range it may give the Kona Electric an advantage on value even without the help of an EV tax credit.

The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 electric sedan outpaces the Tesla Model 3, improves on the related Hyundai Ioniq 5, and matches the Lucid Air as the most efficient electric car on sale in the U.S.

The front end is lower, with a horizontal look that some may see as borrowed from the Ioniq 6 EV.

Robotic charging is seen as a necessity not just for self-driving vehicles, but to make EVs workable for those with mobility issues.

The Kona Electric also leads the design of the Kona lineup, and offers V2L tech that could help provide backup power.

Not counting the EV tax credit or dealer markups, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a price that's very competitive with the Tesla Model 3—while beating it for range in Long Range versions.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is among the models that will be offered on a monthly basis, with no long-term commitment.

Hyundai's 140 MPGe (4.2 mi/kwh) combined figure also ties the Lucid Air for efficiency, although the RWD Lucid Air Pure due later in the year will likely leap well ahead.

With e-corner, the Ioniq 5 can crab sideways like a GMC Hummer EV, or turn in place much like the "tank turn" maneuver exhibited by Rivian and Mercedes-Benz EQG prototypes.

Hyundai introduced its E-GMP platform two years ago—offering a possibility of coming close to matching Tesla on efficiency and range. With silicon-carbide tech, it might potentially pass it.

Hyundai said development of the 670-hp fuel cell powertrain in the N Vision 74 has continued over seven years; it can be refueled in five minutes.

Rules that will qualify U.S.-built EVs for the full $7,500 tax credit in the near future appear to have accelerated a U.S. partnership between the battery division of SK Innovation and automaker Hyundai.

It's a one-stop shop for everything related to charging, although it's not yet addressing the Ioniq EVs' V2L and bidirectional charging capability.

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 and Ioniq 5 EVs, and likely the Kia EV6, will get battery preconditioning that will speed up road-trip fast-charging in chilly weather—maybe making its claimed 18-minute charge to 80% the norm.
