If I were in the market for a car (specifically electric), I'd probably go for Kia. The ev6 and ev9 look really nice. I've seen a couple of EV9s on the road recently and I was surprised at how much smaller they actually seem than on videos.

Yeah the Koreans seem to have done well with EVs. It's old now but the Kona was very well received with its EV variant. Someone a couple of doors down has an EV6 and loves it.

Personally I really love the design of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, it's got that retro-futuristic vibe that I like and it's based on the same drivetrain platform as the EV6 and EV9 (sidenote, that Hyundai-KIA EV platform is called E-GMP, and pronounced "E-gimp", which I find hilarious)
