Before I bought my Tesla, I had a Hyundai
Santa Fe and I really liked the car. I felt
the styling was good and I found their old
school reputation for building sub-standard
cars was no longer warranted. In short it
was a good, solid car. Existing EVs from
Hyundai have effectively been ICE cars that
got torn down and rebuilt with a battery and
some electric motors. Now, many
manufacturers have gone this route for
understandable reasons, but it generally
tends to produce an EV that is *ahem*
several percent shy of performance and
quality that a “ground-up power and power
train” EVs such as Tesla tends to produce.
The news today promises that great a wide
array of styles of sustainable vehicles
should be coming from Hyundai on their new
“E-GMP” platform. Also mentioned in the
article is bidirectional charging enabling
cool stuff like vehicle to grid, and even EV
to EV emergency charging applications. Look
for the vanguard models in 2021, says
Hyundai.
Well played, Hyundai. Well played.
