Echoing that the Hyundai Ioniqs are fantastic EVs with plenty of actual buttons in the console as well as fast charging speeds (the chargers themselves are the limiting factor)

The irony here is that Hyundai models built 2019 - 2023 have an issue where they'll spontaneously combust.
There is a whole bunch of regulatory stuff that's been spun up for EVs over the past 7 years or so.
I have no idea if Hyundai had something out of the ordinary happen, but the public is generally very slow to change and are a bit hyper vigilant. Add in the fact that the press loves a good boogieman to get clicks and you'll see some of the EV mess.
Are they safer than ICE? Yes. Should that stop there? No.
With an average of 16 EV and hybrid fires per year, there's a 1 in 38,000 chance of fire. There are a total of roughly 4.4 million gas- and diesel-powered passenger vehicles in Sweden, with an average of 3,384 fires per year, for a 1 in 1,300 chance of fire. That means gas- and diesel-powered passenger vehicles are 29 times more likely to catch fire than EVs and hybrids.

What a weird wet dream. Teslas are stacked with cameras, they'd never get away with it.

Hyundai is not the move :p
Hyundai EVs really are good. They made absolutely terrible gas cars but chose the transition to EVs to make new company out of themselves and they did an absolutly incredible job. They make some of the best EVs in the market.
It occurs to me, when these shitty batteries catch fire all on their own, now he can blame “terrorism.”
Every time a Tesla cuts me off in traffic now, I contemplate following them until they park so I can carve "ASSHOLE" into the hood with my keys.
Oh boy, you're so edgy.
Nice!
