I'd say it's just another COMPLIANCE car like all of the others. In Arizona they give you a $50 gift card for test driving the IONIQ. But they don't have any Electric or even Plugin Electrics that they sell in this area. The sales numbers tell the story and they aren't making many. The IONIQ Doesn't have liquid cooling in the Battery Thermal Management !!!
Their sister company KIA makes the SOUL EV. They also won't sell that in Arizona so a group of us bough them on line in California and had them shipped to Arizona in the greater Phoenix area. All 10 in our area had batteries that failed. Ours also shut down twice in rush hour traffic on 2 HOT days in a row when my wife was using it. I reported it and got a safety warning issued with the NTSB. It took them over 1 month to fix/replace the battery. They had no idea what to do about the over heating of the controller. I turned mine in 6 month early since it was so bad.
