Apparently, South Korea didn't get the memo that sales of electric vehicles are sliding. Kia just set a new EV sales record, clocking 29,392 units sold through the first half of 2024. It's the best half-year for electric vehicles in the company's history. Hyundai isn't doing bad, either. The Ioniq 5 just had its best June of all time, and the Ioniq 6 is up 113 percent versus this time last year.
