After a strong start to 2024, Hyundai<\/a> expects the momentum to continue with some of the most affordable and efficient EVs on the US market. In an exclusive interview with Electrek<\/em>, Hyundai Motor America CEO Randy Parker said the company is \u201chumble and hungry\u201d as it remains committed to EVs in the US.<\/p>\n

Hyundai\u2019s dedication to EVs is paying off<\/h2>\n

Despite rivals pulling back, Hyundai is doubling down on its EV commitment as it looks to separate itself from the competition.<\/p>\n

Its early dedication is already paying off. Hyundai is outpacing the US electric vehicle market with a wide-ranging lineup of award-winning EVs, including the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and Kona Electric.<\/p>\n

Hyundai\u2019s EV sales surged 62%<\/a> in Q1, with the IONIQ 5 and Kona Electric setting new first-quarter sales records. Compared to overall US EV sales, up 2.6% in Q1 (according to Cox Automotive<\/a><\/em>), Hyundai is leaving much of the competition in the rear view.<\/p>\n

Parker said \u201cdemand for our vehicles, especially EVs, remains high\u201d after the record-setting performance.<\/p>\n

Hyundai is \u201csticking to its strategy,\u201d Parker told Electrek<\/em> in an interview. According to Hyundai\u2019s US chief, it remains a core part of the automaker\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n

Giving consumers confidence<\/h2>\n

One of Hyundai\u2019s biggest goals is to give buyers who may be hesitant about buying an EV the confidence to make the leap.<\/p>\n

According to data from the US Department of Energy, Hyundai has six of the top ten most fuel-efficient EVs<\/a> in the US this year.<\/p>\n

The 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6 Long Range RWD (18\u2033 wheels) topped the list with 140 MPGe (combined), ahead of the 2024 Lucid Air Pure RWD (19\u2033 wheels) at 137 MPGe. Hyundai\u2019s IONIQ 5 (114 MPGe) and Kona Electric (116 MPGe) also made the list.<\/p>\n

Parker told Electrek<\/em> that Hyundai is giving buyers the confidence to go electric by providing EVs with long-range capabilities, fast charging, and sleek designs. And you get all of that at an affordable price.<\/p>\n

Hyundai\u2019s IONIQ 6 is currently the only EV that meets potential buyers\u2019 price, range, and charging targets, according to a study<\/a> from Boston Consulting Group<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The median requirements include a 20-minute charging time, a 30-minute detour and wait time, a 350-mile range, and a starting price under $50,000.<\/p>\n

Despite an already affordable price, Hyundai is sweetening the deal with a $7,500 Bonus Cash offer, bringing IONIQ 6 starting prices to as low as $30,000 (excluding destination). <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at $189 per month, the 2024 IONIQ 6 (SE Standard Range) is one of the most affordable vehicles (gas-powered or EV) in the US.<\/p>\n

Hyundai\u2019s redesigned 2024 Kona Electric is another low-cost electric option. Hyundai upgraded the Kona EV in every way, with more range, faster charging, and a bold new design. Starting under $33,000, the 2024 Kona Electric is one of the most affordable EVs on the market.<\/p>\n

Hyundai is separating itself from the EV pack<\/h2>\n

Although several US automakers, including Ford and GM, are shifting their strategies, citing slower-than-expected demand, Hyundai remains committed to EVs.<\/p>\n

Hyundai\u2019s US boss was quoted as saying, \u201cWhy would anybody want to purchase an EV from an [automaker like Toyota or GM] who\u2019s lobbying against EVs?\u201d<\/p>\n

Parker added, \u201cIf a person is thinking about buying an EV, I think you want to go to a company that is fully committed to selling EVs in the United States.\u201d When asked if Hyundai is this company, Parker told Electrek<\/em>, \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyundai is \u201cputting its money where its mouth is.\u201d Its first dedicated US-based EV and battery plant in Georgia is set to begin production later this year.<\/p>\n

The company was rewarded with its own \u201cHyundai Day\u201d<\/a> in Georgia for contributing to the state\u2019s largest economic project. It even tops Rivian\u2019s ($5 billion) plant outside of Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Including its suppliers, Hyundai\u2019s EV investments in the state total over $12.6 billion<\/a> and will generate 50,000 new jobs.<\/p>\n

Hyundai is also working with its retail partners and others to improve charging infrastructure and knowledge about EVs. Parker told Electrek<\/em> that 700 of Hyundai\u2019s 840 dealers in the US are now IONIQ certified, which includes Level 3 chargers, training, and Hyundai certification to sell EVs.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s latest campaign, revealed this week, is a tribute to Hyundai\u2019s dedication to EVs. Hyundai\u2019s new promo video (see the full video here<\/a>) shows off its lineup of \u201cbigger, better, faster, smarter\u201d electric cars while educating viewers about the benefits.<\/p>\n

It also showcases Hyundai\u2019s new high-performance IONIQ N, which was recently named the 2024 World Performance Car of the Year. With up to 641 hp, a 3.5 second 0 to 60 mph time, and several track-ready upgrades, the all-electric performance car is the \u201cmost powerful, fun-to-drive Hyundai ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tesla NACS coming soon, new EVs to look forward to<\/h2>\n

One of the biggest questions buyers want to know is when Hyundai EVs will have access to Tesla Superchargers.<\/p>\n

Parker told Electrek<\/em> that existing and future Hyundai EV owners will gain access to Tesla\u2019s Superchargers<\/a> in Q4 2024. Canada will follow in the first half of 2025. Starting in Q1 2025, Hyundai will begin shipping out NACS adaptors.<\/p>\n

Hyundai EV owners will gain access to +12,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America, doubling the number of chargers available to EV owners (~30,000).<\/p>\n

Although no new IONIQ 5 or IONIQ 6 variants are due out, Parker said Hyundai is excited about the IONIQ 5 N rolling out as one of the few high-performance EVs to hit the market.<\/p>\n

Hyundai is chasing the electric production SUV (crossover) record with two 641 HP IONIQ 5 N cars set to compete at Pikes Peak. You can watch the sporty EV race on June 23, 2024.<\/p>\n

When asked about Hyundai\u2019s first three-row electric SUV, the IONIQ 9<\/a>, Parker said, \u201cIt\u2019s definitely coming,\u201d without offering any new details.<\/p>\n

As for the IONIQ 5 refresh that debuted in South Korea, Parker told Electrek<\/em> Hyundai is \u201cworking on\u201d bringing it to the US.<\/p>\n
