With Hyundai planning to become a purely electric brand in Europe by 2035 and in most major markets five years later, it can’t build its EV portfolio by relying strictly on the E-GMP platform. The dedicated electric car architecture has underpinned the Ioniq 5 crossover released this year, followed by the Ioniq 6 sedan in 2022, and the seven-seat Ioniq 7 arriving in early 2024. The latter was previewed last month by the SEVEN concept<\/a> as a three-row SUV.<\/p>\n Plans are in motion for at least ten more EVs scheduled to arrive by 2026, some of which will be electric adaptations of existing models. In addition, the South Korean brand is announcing plans for a second bespoke platform for zero-emissions models. The important disclosure was made this week by Hyundai CEO Jaehoon Chang in an interview with Automotive News Europe<\/em>:<\/p>\n “We are not simply looking at only one platform [E-GMP]. We are expanding our volume for EVs. And we have a plan for how we can do that.”<\/p>\n
