US: Hyundai Ioniq 5 Sales Slowed Down In May
Insufficient supply holds Hyundai Ioniq 5 sales below 2,000 units.
Hyundai Motor America reports 59,432 car sales in May in the US, which is 34% less than a year ago. Also, year-to-date sales are down -280,776 cars (down 16% year-over-year).
Hyundai says that demand remains strong, but supply side is lagging. The South Korean manufacturer expects that inventory levels will improve later in 2022.
The all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 noted 1,918 sales (3.2% of the total), which is a bit disappointing compared to a few months above 2,500, but considering the current situation, we need to be understanding.
Cumulatively, Hyundai delivered in the US almost 11,000 Ioniq 5, including almost 10,000 in the last four months. It means that we can maintain an expectation of between 25,000-30,000 units in 2022.

Unfortunately, the official stats do not include the sales results of other all-electric or plug-in hybrid models (Kona Electric, IONIQ Electric, IONIQ Plug-In, Santa Fe PHEV and Tucson PHEV), as they are counted together with conventional or non-rechargeable hybrids.
The hydrogen fuel cell model - Hyundai Nexo - noted 9 units (down 44%) and 222 year-to-date (up 98%).
In May, the broader Hyundai Motor Group started deliveries of the Genesis GV60, which joins the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 as the thrid E-GMP-based electric model in the US.
