The Ford F 150 Lightning and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N were stars of the show at recent EV displays in Queensland.
At last month’s Zero Emission Noosa’s EV & Electrify Everything Expo, Tess was privileged to meet the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and the right-hand-drive Ford F-150 Lightning. Wow! One was a smooth, fast sport model, and the other looked like it was capable of going anywhere and building anything. The eager public swarmed over both vehicles and Alan fromtells me that he and his sales team talked themselves hoarse answering questions about the Ioniq 5 and 6.
He reminded me of when Hyundai first came to Australia in the 1990s with the Excel and the slogan “drive away no more to pay.” They upended the Australian small car market, and are now a contender in the EV market, with more stock available than ever before. The N, however will set you back AU$118,000. It is no Excel. The regular Ioniq 5, once hard to get, is now available with only a two-week wait.
AusEV was established in 2021 and also imports the XOS MDXT and XOS HDXT trucks. It is an Australian owned distributor of commercial electric vehicles . Its website describes the company’s mission as: “… to expedite the transition of electric vehicles to right-hand drive markets while enhancing customer access to every aspect of the EV supply chain.
