That's a lot more than €100000 negative publicity for Hyundai. It sends a huge warning about their corporate behaviour.

Sadly, this is the reality for any ancient or poorly available tech on the market - any repair or even basic maintenance might prove quite expensive - especially if the tech is made by a car manufacturer that refuses to provide log term support.
I was honestly quite surprised Toyota still sells batteries for second gen. Prius, there are even a ton of alternatives (often better than old OEM).

It's a big mistake to have a full transition from ICE to EV by 2030. Stop listening to people who ride on private jets and yatchs.

There are two kinds of hydrogen cars. One uses H2 to charge a battery. The other burns H2 as it is a fancy ICE. The author shows a hefty bias while emitting a lot of zeroes.
