However, since the chip supply has been affected. Therefore, it is more difficult to achieve this goal. And in the second half of this year, Kia EV6 will also push the market. If you play a price war with modern Ioniq 5, then modern will be lower.

Double dragon cars are reorganizing, but the restructuring plan including layoffs is not passed because of the trade union opposition.
