Its not as if Hyundai/Kia are the market leaders. I am expecting either one of China based battery makers(many like GAC, Chery and SAIC have announced plans to launch in 2026 time frame) or even Factorial or other startups could do it. Then there are Japanese OEMS including Toyota, Honda and Nissan who are promising some launch in the later part of the decade. Let us see what happens.
