Hyundai sued over EV fires, days after GM's recalls
Hyundai is facing a lawsuit over a string of battery fires in its electric vehicles (EVs), just as General Motors (GM) launched a recall of over 68,000 EVs with batteries from the same maker, LG Chem. The lawsuit could cost Hyundai and LG Chem around $540 million. Hyundai has recalled around 74,000 EVs after 16 fire incidents in two years.
