Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries
Earlier today, I ran with an idea someone on our team proposed: I explored the question of which automaker would produce the “Model 2/C” if it’s true Tesla isn’t going forward with this product. Who is most likely to produce a very high selling, affordable electric car globally that’s basically a step below the Tesla Model 3?, but apparently I failed. I mentioned BYD, Geely, Zeekr, NIO, Xpeng, Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, BMW, and Audi. But I didn’t consider Hyundai/Kia.
Another fellow writer, Juan Diego, came to the table with a little more nuance, or perhaps you could say a critique of the premise. He argued that different brands and models would fill that hole in different regions. For USA and Canada, he wrote, “I think Hyundai/Kia has the lead here. I have high expectations for the Kia EV3 achieving in late 2024 at least part of what Tesla was aiming for with its model.
Hyundai & Kia have produced some of the most efficient, most attractive, and best-value-for-money electric cars in the world for several years now. As a testament to that,. The company is certainly more capable than most at designing and producing a mass-market model that is attractive as well as affordable.Hyundai and Kia have seemingly never pushed very hard to produce high volumes of the electric cars they’ve produced, never reallyin that regard.
