And it seems this trend is carrying over into the EV segment. Perusing the latest US electric vehicle registration figures, you'll notice Hyundai and Kia are dominating local mainstream electric car sales. With Tesla in first position, Kia was able to secure itself a second spot finish with 8,450 registrations in the first quarter. Hyundai wasn't far behind, with 6,964 registered units.
