I never claimed this had anything to do with at-home charging. I'm comparing this incentive to another car company's incentive. Hyundai is trying to make charging the EV less of a hassle. That incentive is still much less convenient than the other car company paying for a charger in your home.



Hyundai does have an in home charger incentive.

But again, that has literally nothing to do with this. This isn’t about “making charging more convenient”, it’s about ensuring owners are future proofed.

The people this is targeted at already bought a Hyundai, this isn’t about enticing new buyers.


You said they are "doing the absolute minimum to make the thing work is the way they want to go" which is a strange thing to say about offering a free adapter for DC fast charging for their existing customers.

Maybe it makes sense if you assume that's the only thing Hyundai is doing in the realm of making EV charging easier.


it was a very strained reference to Office Space and pieces of flair


What “incentive”? Hyundai already has my money, and they are going to give me an adapter anyway. Why derail the conversation?
