Cliff notes:
– Forecasting 220,000 Hyundai+Genesis global EV sales in 2022, up from an expected 140,000 vehicles in 2021.
– Targeting 1.7 million EVs per year across the Hyundai, Genesis and Kia brands in 2026
– They’ll introduce a new EV architecture to join the existing E-GMP architecture
– 13 Hyundai EV models on sale by 2026
– They’re looking into development of solid-state batteries beyond 2030, but in the mean time will work on “next generation” lithium ion and lithium metal batteries with partners
– Genesis, won’t introduce any new ICE vehicles after 2025; only BEV+FCEV range by 2030
– No new ICE development, but will continue to upgrade existing powertrains to meet new emissions standards.
Curious what the second dedicated platform will be like. eGMP is just getting started and seems very flexible. I’m assuming something with a shorter wheelbase for the global compact market, but I could also see them going in more of a premium direction.
Can we have an electric H100, maybe a bit bigger and ready for the US market? Please?
Let’s gooooo, 1600V.
