We took my wife’s parents back to her dad’s hometown in France last summer. I was surprised by how few Kia and Hyundai vehicles I saw there, gas or electric. Anecdotally I’d say I see those the most after Tesla where I am in the US, and actually more than Tesla where they live in Canada. They’ve seemed like good vehicles at reasonable prices in the US and Canada so I was surprised they did not seem popular in Europe, or France at least.

Tesla sales were falling hard and Volkswagen‘s offers are mediocre for the asking price.
