What is NOT written (UPDATED...See bottom of posting)

     There was a news release from Hyundai/Kia this week about the electric cars they will produce in coming years.

     What's missing from the release is the name "Alabama"... home to the only Hyundai manufacturing plant in the U.S.

     So what is the huge plant's part in the electric car future, if there is one?

Hyundai Motor Group to Invest $7.4 Billion In the U.S. by 2025

Hyundai Motor and Kia to build American-made battery electric vehicles Hyundai Motor’s U.S. facility to begin EV production in 2022 EV output will be implemented in line with market conditions and local EV policy Hyundai Motor Group committed to advancing the hydrogen ecosystem in the U.S. The Group will also further invest in robotics, urban air mobility (UAM) and autonomous driving technology to ensure future competitiveness (See the entire news release HERE.) In August of 2020, a state-operated public Relations website "reported": An official with Hyundai Motor Manufacturing of Alabama said there are currently no plans to add EV production to the plant in Montgomery, which produces the Sonata and Elantra sedans and the Santa Fe SUV.  So where does that leave the Montgomery plant?  Reuters reports: The group's Hyundai Motor Co will begin electric vehicle production at a U.S. facility in 2022, while affiliate Kia Corp also plans to build electric vehicles in the United States. Hyundai has a factory in Alabama, while Kia produces cars at a plant in Georgia. "We are reviewing options including expanding on our production facility after we’ve taken a closer look at U.S. market conditions and U.S. government’s new EV policy," Hyundai said in a statement to Reuters.   Still...NO mention of Alabama or Montgomery in that original news release. Hmmm.    The Advertiser fills in the banks: "A company spokesman confirmed Thursday that the electric vehicles will be made in Montgomery at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama beginning in 2022.  "Further details such as the model, etc., will be announced at a later time," Hyundai Motor America spokesman Michael Stewart said."
