With the ongoing effects of global warming and fuel prices on the rise, we are now seeing a more conscious consumer. In fact, 75% of the public indicate that they modify their consumption and have been more conscious about their use of consumer items including plastic, non-recyclable materials, dairy, meat, sugar, salt, gluten, palm oil, travel, clothes and products that have been tested on animals.
Over the last few years, we have seen an increasing number of new EV (Electric Vehicles) and PHEV (Hybrid Vehicles) coming into the market. Hyundai is no exception with its launch of the popular Kona and IONIQ models.
