Hyundai is helping you do that home EV charger install project you’d probably delay.

    Hyundai is supposedly gathering information about their customers and giving it to the cops.

    Oh and they’re giving out 30 year old anti theft devices because their cars from a certain period don’t have imonilizers immobilizers. https://youtu.be/JodD_KARacg?si=yW3S5LjRaSbijUO_

      imonilizers

      Did you mean immobilizers? Otherwise I have no idea what you are talking about.

        Nah, imonilizers, a new device used to monetize driving patterns.

    Hyundai also got busted for using child labor in the states and was heavily penalized for it, so trying to rebuild their image? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/exclusive-hyundai-subsidiary-has-used-child-labor-alabama-factory-2022-07-22/

      Ahem that’s a normal day in America

      The Times found that automotive suppliers and a food contractor in the Grand Rapids area are illegally employing migrant children in jobs that can include dangerous conditions and long hours, producing goods used by Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co., and General Mills Inc

    This sounds great, but the cynic in me can’t help buy wonder if this is counter-programming for Mozilla’s privacy study that came out a couple weeks ago: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/

      Im not sure what your point is here. Don’t get an EV because they (and all other new cars) have privacy issues?

      It kinda sucks there’s no car manufacturers that’ll make new cars without these privacy issues. I suppose the best thing that could be done would be to attempt to disconnect a car from being able to contact any network so no data can get out.

    This is a WAYYYYYY better insensitive for everyone than offering free charging at charge points. It should move people who could charge at home but do not in order to save money back to their home charger freeing up DC fast chargers for those who actually need it.

    I was quoted 1200 for just the install, my electrical box is at one of my house and it had to go through a room into my garage corner (about 20 feet). Was shocked, but apparently the cabling is really expensive. Luckily had someone that did it for a living and installed for free. So much better then using the normal wall outlet though

      240v dedicated taps don’t come cheap. Having two 240v taps installed this morning, will cost about $1300. That’s without a proprietary charger. I decided to just use standard 240v chargers for our Mach-E. It’s slower than the proprietary Ford charger, but not by much.

    Are they going to randomly start on fire, like their cars?
