Agreed, especially with a globalized supply chain. However, Hyundai/Kia had their violations right here in the US of A. Unionized companies (like GM) also tend to have much fewer labor violations since workers will shut production down. In the case of Hyundai/Kia, they simply blame it on the contractor and call it a day. Nevermind that it is Hyundai’s job to vet contractors and it’s not as if the kids were hidden away so that Hyundai managers couldn’t see. This is the same company that thought it would be a good idea to save a buck and not install immobilizers in their vehicles (only company to not do that) which has led to rampant theft.
I just wish GM and Ford were not run by a gaggle of dipshits constantly looking to push high margin items. The Bolt and the Equinox are proof that they do not need to.
I honestly think Kia has the best ev lineup at the moment.
I’d be more apt to look into term if Hyundai/Kia didn’t have several child labor violations.
It’s so hard to buy anything now-a-days without being tied to some kind of labor violation.

I got a Kia hybrid because no EV incentives in my state to make up the $10k difference. 500 miles per tank (10g) and is very nice.
Yeah but then you’re a target for teens to try to steal a car.
That only affects Kia models before 2015
I’m sure teens seeing a TikTok trend are being very careful to check the shape of the car matches the affected models before smashing a window.
And even then, only ones without a push-button start.
