"Takes the non-Tesla lead"?
"Takes the non-Tesla lead"? Hyundai /Kia have taken the lead - period - in the hottest automotive consumer segment worldwide ie.SUVs, compact SUVs, crossovers. The electric Kona and Niro have breached the gasoline-only consensus that carmakers(outside China) have adhered to for too long to protect the highly profitable SUV market-segment against EV intrusion and disruption. Still no other carmakers outside China are willing to produce or even talk about affordable e-SUVs for the masses.
