Fuck! I've always liked Hyundai, and that model has been high on the list for that 'maybe someday' when I can afford and have the means to actually charge an EV (hard to do when you're stuck in an open apartment parking lot.
If they're pulling shit like this, that'll be a hard no.
...tad off topic, but what are some of the EVs on the less enshittified end of the spectrum?
Chevy Bolt is may be less sexy, but super reliable. Mine has close to 50k on it, and zero issues after the battery swap 5 or 6 years ago. Still get ~300 miles in good weather.
+1 for the Chevy Bolt. I've got the 2023 EUV, absolutely love it.
However, I've heard that the newer lines are dropping Apple CarPlay & Android Auto support. Which would be a hard no from me.
The used market for EVs is kinda crazy cheap right now though. To OP: I'd highly suggest looking for a used 2023 Chevy Bolt when you're ready.
I never once thought I would ever hear Chevy and reliable in the same sentence. Having unfortunately owned a few Chevy ICE's myself.
Yup, 2020 bolt owner here. Bought it used after the recalls for cheapish. It's ugly, but nice to drive and pretty dang practical. Plus it has actual buttons and knobs for AC and volume! Just wish it charged faster for the occasional road trip.
