The phones were ringing Wednesday morning at Ontario Hyundai in California’s Inland Empire, and the callers had one thing in mind – an electric vehicle.
Before 10 a.m., the dealership had received 20 inquiries about Hyundai’s new electric crossover, the Ioniq 5. The dealership always gets a few dozen calls a day about EVs but never 20 in the first hour, said General Manager Sam Labib.
