Even so, 2024–2025 Kia EV9 owners living in snowy areas — of which, thankfully, there are few in May in the United States — should be on the lookout for a potential windshield wiper failure.

That said, Kia started making the EV9 in the United States of America back in May 2024. It hails from the Kia Manufacturing Georgia plant, and it's the brand's first US-assembled electric vehicle.

This is a thing, as far as I can tell, across the Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis lineups and, credit where it’s due, Nissan does this as well with the front/rear wipers in the new Pathfinder.
