This yellow Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV spotted on taxi duty in this country
It is not a very common sight to find a Hyudai Ioniq 5 EV performing taxi duties. Recently, an image of an Ioniq 5 clad in yellow hue working as a privately-owned taxi in Jordan popped up on Facebook. And while there are many electric taxis out there, this particular EV seems well cut out for the job. The Facebook post mentioned that license has been obtained for the first fully electric Ioniq 5 taxi in Jordan.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV is claimed to be one the most well-rounded EVs out there in the market. It is also claimed to be one of the fastest-charging EVs on the market. When plugged into a 350 kW DC charger, its 77.4 kWh battery pack can juice up from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes. This helps reduce range anxiety as well as waiting time at charging stations.
