Hyundai’s first electric N model has already started something of a trend, with a few brands, including Porsche and BMW, now borrowing some of its signature features.

For the 2026 model year, Hyundai is upping the ante. Hyundai announced on Wednesday that the 2026 IONIQ 5 N has a “substantially lower starting price” at just $59,900, or $6,300 less than last year’s model.

“Our 2026 IONIQ 5 N is one of the most critically acclaimed models we’ve ever offered,” according to Ricky Lao, director of product planning at Hyundai Motor North America.

Despite the lower price, the new 2026 model brings a few updates. For one, the 2026 IONIQ 5 N now has a native NACS port, following the standard IONIQ 5, enabling access to Tesla Superchargers without an adapter.

Replace Hyundai with any electric company name that benefited from the rebates.

Yes the companies and dealers benefits from the rebates. I'm not arguing that.

The customer did not benefit from the rebates is my argument.

The customer benefits from having access to a wide array of electric cars now due to those subsidies.

The majority of EVs are made outside of the USA, and didn't benefit from the subsidies. The subsidies did biting for EV production for r&d for a majority of EV manufacturers.

It did help tesla make record profits though.
