Production details for the Ioniq 9 remain uncertain, as the GV90 is rumored to be manufactured in South Korea, while EV9 production for the U.S. has been shifted to Kia’s West Point, Georgia plant. Hyundai’s Georgia EV “Metaplant” is set to produce the 2025 Ioniq 5 models, but adjustments will need to be made for the Ioniq 9 to be eligible for tax credits.
