Biker16 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Hyundai confirms three-row IONIQ 9 SUV, EREVs with +550-mi range are coming to the US Quote After unveiling its new “Hyundai Way” strategy on Wednesday, Hyundai confirmed its highly anticipated three-row electric SUV, the IONIQ 9, will be built in the US. Hyundai also revealed plans to launch EREVs with over 550 miles (900 km) range. Here’s what else you can expect from Hyundai over the next few years. Introducing the new “Hyundai Way” strategy “In the era of electrification, Hyundai Motor Company is an unrivaled company that has introduced the entire electric vehicle lineup, from mass-market brands to luxury and high-performance models, the fastest,” Hyundai’s CEO Jang Jae-hoon said at the event. Hyundai revealed its new mid-to-long-term strategy during its 2024 CEO Investor Day. As part of the new “Hyundai Way,” the company aims to sell 5.55 million vehicles globally by 2030. The target would represent about 30% growth from last year’s 4.2 million cars sold. To achieve it, Hyundai will produce an additional one million vehicles globally. “Based on the strengths of the best-in-class technology and challenges for innovation that we have accumulated over the past,” Hyundai will continue to lead the EV market, Jae-hoon added. With plans to sell two million EVs by 2030, Hyundai expects electric models to account for over a third (36%) of total vehicle sales.

morgan20 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Maybe them South Koreans can survive the Chinese EV onslaught? The Kia version of IONIQ 9 is a hit, they started building them in the U.S. back in May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker16 Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 (edited) PLacing this Article here to Explain what an EREV really is. The New Acronym In The EV Revolution Is EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) - CleanTechnica Quote The New Acronym In The EV Revolution Is EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) The extended range electric vehicle (EREV) has become the fastest growing propulsion system for cars in China. EREV sales have more than doubled in that country in the past year and now account for 30% of the country’s plug-in hybrid sales, according to research service BNEF. They will begin arriving in America next year when Stellantis rolls out the Ramcharger, an EREV version of its Ram 1500 pickup truck that it says will have a 690 mile (1110 km) driving range. The company says the Ramcharger is being “built to pull an entire skeptical demographic” into the electric vehicle age. As automakers worldwide struggle to persuade mainstream car buyers to go electric, EREVs are emerging as a solution to the two biggest roadblocks to EV acceptance: price and range anxiety. Bloomberg explains an EREV can be charged by plugging in, like a conventional EV, but it also has a small gasoline engine that charges the battery while driving, which dramatically increases how far it can go. Rather than powering the wheels the way it does for a conventional automobile or hybrid, the EREV gas engine acts only as an onboard generator. The TLDR. These are Electric Vehicles with a Gas Generator—more EVs than hybrids. These are popular in China, primarily on people movers. If there is a danger to Ford's Skunkworks EV strategy project, this is it. A large EV with a tiny extender would solve a lot of issues with Cost and range. The downside is complexity and cost. The question is, at what point is it cheaper to add more cells than adding an engine and all of that complexity? The specs look like this.

Electric consumption above works out to 90 MPGe, but how does “fuel consumption” end up exactly 3 times higher at 270 MPG? What is significance of 270 MPG since there is no way a vehicle like that running on gas alone could get anywhere close to that, so what does it mean as far as driving in extended range mode? Just curious about specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious about specs. Without reading the article I’m guessing you can drive say 200 miles on battery and another 70 on one gallon of gas.

I think it’s more likely the math in the table is messed up. A vehicle that only gets 2.7 miles per kWh when on battery power is more likely to get 30 MPG on gas, not 270 MPG. Instead of multiplying the 90 MPGe by 3 to estimate fuel consumption, and coming up with 270 MPG, maybe they meant to divide 90 by 3 and get 30 MPG while on gas. Just a guess on my part based on table’s reference to “fuel consumption”, not range. I expect fuel consumption was meant to be 7.7 liters per 100 km (62 miles).
