Kia and Hyundai have done an excellent job with the design of their newer cars. However they’ve done an incredibly poor job with vehicle security. My wife is an insurance broker, and several of the bigger insurance companies will not even insure those brands, for newer models, because theft is out of control. Too bad, because I really like their look.

As I understand it, those issues don't apply to their EVs, as there's no traditional ignition, and they are keyless.

I think you’re right but I would be too worried that not-too-sophisticated would-be thieves figure that out after smashing your windows.
