Hyundai will solve the electric range problem in 2027 with a new generation of EREV
Hyundai has decided to end the anxiety caused by the range of electric cars by betting on EREV technology. The Korean manufacturer has announced the arrival in 2027 of a new generation of extended range electric vehicles. These EREVs will have a range of around 1,000 kilometers.
Hyundai has reaffirmed its commitment to sell 5.55 million vehicles worldwide by 2030. An ambitious goal that will require a series of investments and global launches. At the company's first Investor Day CEO held outside South Korea, the main keys to the strategy that the brand will follow in the coming years have been revealed.
José Muñoz, CEO of Hyundai Motor Company, has been responsible for communicating the company's medium and long-term strategy to investors and stakeholders, emphasizing its commitment to the expansion of revolutionary products. And indeed, electrification will be key in the immediate future of the Korean automotive giant. The Hyundai brand is already a reference in the field of electrified mobility with its wide range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and 100% electric vehicles. We should also keep an eye on the company's commitment to hydrogen fuel cells.
The new family of EREV vehicles from Hyundai
All the manufacturer's machinery is in motion with the goal of expanding this product offering. And the EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) technology will be key to Hyundai's strategy. This was announced by the company at the event, confirming that it is working on a new family of extended range electric cars. The first EREV models from Hyundai will be launched starting in 2027.
The brand points out that EREV technology will facilitate the transition process towards total electrification as it is key to eliminating the anxiety associated with battery electric vehicle range in one fell swoop. These next-generation vehicles will be equipped with high-performance batteries and motors to provide a driving experience similar to that of classic electric vehicles.
Hyundai has also confirmed that these EREV vehicles will have more than 960 kilometers of range. A range made possible by the optimized integration of the battery and motor. Although the company has not gone into specific details about these future vehicles, it has been confirmed that the main goal is for them to be equipped with high-performance proprietary batteries.
With the addition of extended range electric vehicles to its lineup, Hyundai will have all the electrified mobility technologies in its product offering.
