Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan
Hyundai Motor Co and Kia Corp plan to reduce the prices of several electric vehicles (EVs) in response to the South Korean government's decision to expand subsidies for clean vehicles. The price cuts, which will affect models such as the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Kona EV, EV6, Niro EV, and Niro Plus, are set to begin next month and last until the end of 2023. This move could intensify the price competition in the South Korean automotive industry and potentially increase international tension surrounding EV pricing.
