Every manufacturer has plants in the US, for the most part, including Hyundai. They make ~10% of all their cars (globally) in Alabama. They could have chosen to make their EV fleet here, as well. Can't say I particularly disagree with the decision to require US manufacturing. Pretty much every other car manufacturer can do it.

They were in talks to build an EV plant in GA before the inflation reduction act existed. Ground was broken in October and the plant is scheduled to be online in 2025. I don't disagree with the decision to require US manufacturing either but given the early state of the EV market I think easing that requirement in over a few years to give auto makers a chance to open new US manufacturing capacity would have been a better path.
