We took my wife’s parents back to her dad’s hometown in France last summer. I was surprised by how few Kia and Hyundai vehicles I saw there, gas or electric. Anecdotally I’d say I see those the most after Tesla where I am in the US, and actually more than Tesla where they live in Canada. They’ve seemed like good vehicles at reasonable prices in the US and Canada so I was surprised they did not seem popular in Europe, or France at least.

Probably the import fees are too high for them to compete on price vs quality compared to EU-based auto makers
