Hyundai IONIQ 5

Hyundai’s high-flying IONIQ5 shows what the future of zero-emission, fully electric travel can look like, yet building it was no cakewalk. A new documentary reveals Hyundai’s “radical new approach” to bringing the IONIQ5 to market.

For a few weeks in the Essex countryside about an hour from London, a select group of guests will have the opportunity to stay at a pop-up Hyundai hotel, powered entirely by EVs. With a cabin, restaurant, and private cinema, this concept hotel represents a future of off-grid luxury potential, while simultaneously showcasing the capabilities of the Hyundai IONIQ 5’s vehicle-to-load technology.

Rideshare provider Uber has signed a 10-year, multi-market commercial agreement with Motional – a developer of driverless robotaxis. As part of the agreement, Uber will deploy Motional’s IONIQ 5 electric robotaxis in select markets at first, with the potential to reach millions of customers by providing both ride-hailing and delivery services autonomously.

With a tremendous number of bespoke EVs that have already arrived this year, there has never been a more exciting time to switch to go all-electric.

Some of the data below could be the deciding factor in choosing one EV or another. Check out the top 10 fastest charging EVs currently available.

Following a partnership announced in late 2021, Motional has begun end-to-end food deliveries for Uber Eats in Southern California using its autonomous IONIQ 5 robotaxi EVs.

Hopefully that uptick will be reversed with an expected increase in supply, thanks to Chevrolet resuming Bolt production as well as a number of affordable EV models set to arrive at dealerships between now and the end of the year. However, if you have an ICE or short-range electric and want to take advantage of its elevated trade-in value before used car prices drop further, here are a few of the available options to consider.
