At the time, it was a very basic all-electric car with a 16.4 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery and a range of less than 100 miles.<\/p>\n<p>But the South Korean company quickly progressed, developing new products (the most significant were the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Niro EV with a 64 kWh battery) and most recently, the all-new E-GMP platform for the next-generation of electric cars.<\/p>\n<p>According to the article, the cumulative sales of EVs (BEVs and PHEVs as we understand) as of the end of 2022, amounted to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hyundai Motor (Hyundai and Genesis): 601,448<\/li>\n<li>Kia: 420,836<\/li>\n<li>Hyundai Motor Group: 1,022,284<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s including 371,838 units in 2022, which is a massive growth compared to 101,362 in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Our very own data, based on the company wholesale shipments, is very similar (which makes us very happy) and indicates that in 2022, the group sold over 370,000 plug-ins:<\/p>\n<p>We estimate that more than 800,000 (between 800,000 and 850,000) out of the 1 million plug-ins sold by the group since 2011 are all-electric cars. The remaining part is plug-in hybrids.<\/p>\n<p>For reference, the hydrogen fuel cell car sales (almost entirely the Hyundai Nexo) stand at over 32,000 cumulatively.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the most popular models, the article listed the top three:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hyundai Kona Electric: 256,907<\/li>\n<li>Kia Niro EV (e-Niro): 200,302<\/li>\n<li>Hyundai Ioniq 5: 165,637<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We can&#8217;t verify the numbers, besides that the Hyundai Ioniq 5 figures are almost exactly the same as the cumulative wholesale shipment volume. The Hyundai Kona Electric might be even higher &#8211; close to 290,000. The retired Hyundai Ioniq Electric almost reached 90,000.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the details, the Hyundai Motor Group is on a fast track to expand its all-electric car lineup and sales volume so we probably don&#8217;t have to wait long for another million plug-ins &#8211; 24 months (or by the end of 2024) should be enough.<\/p>\n<section class=\"relatedContent-new trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"related-content\" data-widget-size=\"content\" data-params=\"%7B%22type_id%22%3A0%2C%22title_id%22%3A%22%22%2C%22items%22%3A%5B%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22629418%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22US%3A%20Hyundai%20Ioniq%205%20Sales%20Improved%20In%20December%202022%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22us-hyundai-ioniq5-sales-december2022%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2F0e4Pgp%2Fs5%2Fhyundai-ioniq-5.jpg%22%7D%7D%2C%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22629443%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22US%3A%20Kia%20EV6%20Sales%20Rebounded%20A%20Bit%20In%20December%202022%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22us-kia-ev6-sales-december2022%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FZo6kN%2Fs5%2F2022-kia-ev6-gt-line.jpg%22%7D%7D%5D%7D\">   <\/section>\n<section class=\"trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"video_mstv\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sizer\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAJCAYAAAA7KqwyAAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAABpJREFUeNpi\/P\/\/PwMlgImBQjBqwLAwACDAAOVfAw9\/ZDvcAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\" alt=\"\"\/>  <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyundai Motor Group, which includes three car brands &#8211; Hyundai, Kia and Genesis &#8211; recently reached a milestone of one million plug-in electric cars sold cumulatively (globally).
