I guess it makes sense to differentiate their EV models. Looks like the 45 will be the first of the cars under the new name

So what are they going to do with the non-EV versions of the Ioniq?

The Ioniq Ioniq you mean?

Or the Ironic Ioniqs that use ICE in an EV only brand?

Crush them all. I get so disappointed when I see another ioniq only for it to turn out to be a boring hybrid version. Yaaaaawn

The first model will be Ioniq 5, so I guess they will kill of the Ioniq to avoid confusion but still plan to sell Kona ev
I like that they will also break away existing not great (mostly) independent dealer networks

Hopefully they keep the Ioniq OG since its such a great EV. Really looking forward to future Hyundai/Kia EV offerings. They seem to know how to make great, affordable EVs. They just need to produce much more of them...
