Hyundai's massive $7.6 billion plant in Georgia is revving up U.S. production with the 2025 Ioniq 5 electric SUV. Despite Uncle Sam’s pesky protectionist vibes with Trump’s 25% tariff on foreign cars, Hyundai plans to boost output from 300k to 500k vehicles annually. This sleek South Korean darling now sports an off-road XRT trim for the adventurous Americans and, thanks to a Tesla (NACS) charging port, offers accessing 17,000 charging stations. Local demand: hotter than a bratwurst at Oktoberfest! The Ioniq 5 trails only Tesla as the best-selling EV in America. Oh, the irony!
