The Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 are two of the hottest EVs on sale right now. Both offer great range figures, plenty of tech and distinctive looks. Underneath the EV6 and Ioniq 5 are actually the same, with both being based off the E-GMP platform designed specifically for EVs.
However, if you're in the US, it's much easier to get your hands on an EV6 versus an Ioniq 5. Simply put, Kia's US dealers are much more prepared to sell EVs than Hyundai's. Of the 775 US Kia dealers, 725 are now permitted to sell EVs. This is thanks in part to Kia handing out $12,500 to each dealership looking to install charging infrastructure, acquire EV-related tools and train staff on electric cars.
