The Hyundai Ioniq 5 will reportedly be the first car rolling out of the company\u2019s new Georgia factory this fall. Moreover, company CEO Jose Mu\u00f1oz tells Automotive<\/em> News<\/em><\/a> he expects the US-made version will net buyers the full $7,500 federal EV tax credit, which the South Korea-made vehicle isn\u2019t otherwise eligible for<\/a> (outside of a leasing loophole<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Hyundai will start producing the Ioniq 5 at the Georgia plant in October, but the company won\u2019t be making batteries there for \u201cabout a year,\u201d Automotive News<\/em> writes. For now, the article says the company will source its batteries from a Hungarian factory operated by Hyundai\u2019s partner for its Georgia battery production<\/a>, SK On. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n But the quarter covers October all the way to December, meaning there\u2019s plenty of room for some US-made Ioniq 5s to roll out of its Georgia factory with CCS ports instead. It seems logical to assume they will. When asked, Hyundai representative Christopher Paukert referred The Verge<\/em> back to that previous October announcement<\/a> but declined to explicitly confirm whether the first US-made models off the line will definitely have NACS ports to start. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
