Hyundai

Hyundai Motor Company is a South Korean automaker founded in 1967 and headquartered in Seoul. With operations spanning over 200 countries and a production footprint that includes a major manufacturing facility in Georgia, Hyundai has rapidly emerged as one of the most credible and celebrated electric vehicle manufacturers in the world.

Hyundai’s electric vehicle credentials are exceptional. The IONIQ 5 won the 2022 World Car of the Year award, and the brand’s dedicated IONIQ EV sub-brand has set a new standard for what mainstream electric vehicles can look and feel like. The IONIQ 6 sedan followed with similarly strong acclaim, offering outstanding efficiency that ranks among the best in the segment.

Hyundai’s EVs are built on the E-GMP platform — a dedicated electric vehicle architecture shared with sister brand Kia — which enables ultra-fast 800-volt charging, giving Hyundai a significant advantage in charge speed over many competitors.

The brand has committed to a fully electric lineup by 2040 and continues to invest heavily in battery technology and US manufacturing. Hyundai vehicles are sold through a nationwide dealership network. The brand competes directly with Tesla, Ford, and Chevrolet in the mainstream EV segment while matching European luxury brands on technology and design.
