Hyundai announced earlier today its “strategic roadmap” towards developing a fleet of battery electric vehicles with an aim to occupy around 7 percent of the market by the decade’s end. To accomplish this, the automaker plans to introduce another 17 EVs to their fleet — 11 Hyundai models, and 6 Genesis luxury cars. Late last year, the company unveiled its plans to ditch combustion engines entirely by 2025 in favor of electric powertrains, although as Engadget notes, at the time there were purportedly only 8 EV models in development.
Apart from the fully electric Ioniq 6 slated to launch later this year, not much other information is known about the upcoming Hyundai releases apart from some of their general classifications; three will be sedan while six will be SUVs, alongside one light commercial vehicle and one “new type model.” Hyundai also noted its already planning the Ioniq 7 launch for sometime in 2024.
