Hyundai is undecided where it will expand EV manufacturing; Canada ‘on the list’

Romano said Hyundai has had “a lot” of such conversations with the government. And while Hyundai’s focus is on Georgia today, the US $5.5 billion plant, going up northwest of Savannah, is unlikely to produce enough vehicles to meet the government’s EV targets on its own, he added.

Average used car loans are now much more than the vehicles are worth

Used car prices have been all over the map in recent times, with some used models exceeding their new MSRPs as demand soared and supply dwindled.
