Last week, the first hydrogen-powered 2015 Hyundai Tucson FCV (fuel cell vehicle) arrived in California. The only reason for their presence in California is to satisfy the laws of CARB (California Air Resources Board). This state's laws aimed at improving air quality are the toughest in North America. Hyundai says that they make no profit off selling these SUVs. However, according to CARB's scale of credits, each Hyundai Tucson FCV that is leased up until the 2017 model year will earn 26 credits, the equivalent of $130,000. Why a dollar equivalent? It is so that these credits can be sold to other companies. In January 2011, electric car manufacturer Tesla claimed that it has sold $13.8 million in credits to Honda since 2008. At the moment, Hyundai is not interested in selling these credits. Rather, the company is accumulating them to offset their sales of less fuel efficient vehicles.

Hyundai has had to recall just over 215,000 2013 and 2014 model-year Sonatas due to a problem with the fuel lines. Due to wear from the heat of the engine compartment, those fuel lines could crack and leak fuel.

Can a car change your driving behaviour? Well, for better or for worse, it can. We set out to test that hypothesis at the wheel of a very good candidate: the Hyundai Veloster N 2022. And basically, the answer is yes. Here’s our review.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has been named World Car of the Year, as well as World Electric Vehicle, and received the World Car Design of the Year to boot, in a presentation at the 2022 New York Auto Show.
