An emerging issue with electric cars? A $23K battery, that generates error codes as it fails, leading this individual to blow his up, rather than foot the repair bill
In the meantime, England has moved the ban date for gas-powered vehicles from 2040 to 2030, prompting some Brits to ask if they should start riding horses. But no nation has explained how they will compensate for 2x to 4x the pressure on the electric grid.
The writing is on the wall. By 2030 or so, EVs will be the standard. Legacy gas cars will still be around, but only until they run out of refueling options.
Looks like there will not be another Hyundai in my future.
A few years ago Mary Barra (GM CEO) was asked about the abysmal sales of EV’s. Her response was telling. She said we will give them NO CHOICE.
The WOKE are going to force their agenda down our throats whether we like it or not. All Leftists are TOTALITARIANS. Concentration Camps are not far behind. You will get your mind straight OR ELSE!!!
History Repeats Itself. Again and again and again.
There will be WAR. Sooner or later. The fight for freedom with totalitarians Never Ends.
Rush Limbaugh spoke of this human condition many many times.
An it any gets 198 miles per charge. AAA will be getting lots of calls for tow trucks.
I wouldn’t buy a Hyundai - the company will go broke and not be able to service your car under its warranty.
So ... what happens to all those 10 year / 100,000 mile warranties for gas powered cars sold in 2029?
Deep State really, really doesn’t like us driving, do they...
Again the question. Just what problem do EVs solve?
Committing industrial suicide. 😆
It makes the old saw when seeing somebody broken down by the side of the road yelling, “Get a horse!” seem prophetic.
Note: It doesn’t say Hyundai is going to stop making internal combustion engines. It also doesn’t say they won’t adopt any advances made by others. It just says they are going to spend their that money or EV research and development.
Research on internal combustion (IC) engines only yields slight improvements because they have been around for so long. Spending big bucks on IC technology has little chance of enhancing future profits. Battery technology research has potential for great improvement and great profit for those who improve it.
The move makes sense in both the short and long term for a for-profit company. Personally, I predict that the electric only vehicles will sell in urban areas once the power grid deficiencies are addressed. The timeline for that is probably 20 years. Nuke plants take a long time to plan and build and transmission lines are a slow process as well. In rural areas, plug-in hybrids will probably replace gasoline-only vehicles in the foreseeable future. (15 years?)
Of course, some of the nano-technology research could possibly produce a battery that lasts and recharges quickly. While that won’t address the power grid, it could make the EV cars affordable and more practical.
I can only imagine what electricity will cost in 10 years in order to carry the transition.
Good to see that freeper fear mongering has found a new outlet besides covid vaccines.
Toyota is going with hydrogen engines and hydrogen fuel cells. Battery EVs aren’t going to be the only choices.

Hyundai just went all in with Hybrid\Plug in almost all modesl.
They are also into fuel-cells.
Their first ever pickup truck does not have a hybrid or plug in connected to it ...yet
