Ioniq 5 Defies Tax Credit Loss
The Ioniq 5 remains Hyundai's most important electric model, with 20,730 units sold through June 2026, a 9 percent increase from last year.
This growth comes despite the federal $7,500 EV tax credit being eliminated in September 2025.
Second-quarter Ioniq 5 sales rose 4 percent to 10,940 units.
However, June sales fell 26 percent compared to the same month a year ago, a drop attributed to the rush of buyers who purchased in June 2025 before the tax credit expired.
