    Hyundai Set To Strengthen India’s Fast Charging Infra With 600 New EV Chargers

    Hyundai India EV ChargersOut of these 600 planned EV chargers, 100 will be installed in Tamil Nadu state – 10 of which will, will be functional by 2024 end
    Electric vehicle penetration is becoming more and more evident in the mainstream segment. This encourages car manufacturers to invest in electric mobility and offer compelling EVs to the masses. However, launching EVs is only half the story. The other half is offering a robust fast charging infrastructure.
    Among India’s leading car manufacturers, HMIL (Hyundai Motor India Ltd), has recognised a need to establish a robust EV charging infra in the Asian subcontinent. The company is committing to empower Indian EV buyers by installing up to 600 electric vehicle fast chargers across the country in the next 7 years.
    Hyundai India EV Chargers
    Ahead of the launch of its maiden mass-market electric car, Hyundai India has announced the launch of 600 electric vehicle fast charging stations across the country. The company is set to install these EV chargers across major cities and highways through strategic partnerships with partners like ChargeZone, Statiq and Shell India.
    The goal is to empower Indian EV buyers (irrespective of car brand) to facilitate long-distance travelling with EVs. A hassle-free Kashmir to Kanyakumari drive is what the company aims as an example to illustrate their vision. HMIL’s myHyundai app will play a crucial role in this ambitious move of offering a robust 24X7 charging station network.
    Hyundai Ioniq 5
    Key locations for the charging stations include all major cities in India like Gurugram, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Chennai. All major highways like Delhi-Chandigarh, Delhi-Jaipur, Hyderabad-Vijayawada, Mumbai-Pune, Mumbai-Surat, Bengaluru-Pune, and Pune-Kolhapur will benefit from this move.
    Time Frame
    HMIL’s 600 charging stations planned for India will come equipped with multiple configurations like DC 150 kW + DC 60 kW + DC 30 kW or DC 150 kW + DC 30 kW + DC 60 kW. The company aims to install up to 600 EV charging stations across India within the next 7 years. By the end of this month, Hyundai promises to have 50 stations functional.
    Out of these 600 charging stations planned, Hyundai will install 100 within the Tamil Nadu state as part of an MoU signed between HMIL and Tamil Nadu Government. 10 of these 100 will be operational by the end of this month.

    Statement from HMIL
    Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Jae Wan Ryu, Function Head – Corporate Planning, HMIL said, “The EV market is expected to grow robustly by 2030. Studies conducted by HMIL have highlighted that customers are apprehensive about driving their EVs for long- distance commutes on highways due to a lack of charging infrastructure.
    Keeping this in mind, HMIL has taken the initiative of installing fast EV chargers on key highways, in addition to major cities. With access to HMC’s global EV and battery technology, HMIL is well-positioned to build a comprehensive EV ecosystem in India. We are actively investing in infrastructure to support the expected growth in demand for electric vehicles.” More

    Hyundai Ioniq 9 Teased – 3-Row Electric SUV Unveil This Month

    Hyundai Ioniq 9 TeasedThe same 100 kWh battery pack with a 379 bhp and 700 Nm dual motor layout seen in Kia EV9, could power Hyundai Ioniq 9 teased
    While Hyundai and Kia are known for sensible mainstream vehicles, both the companies have been taking huge strides in electric mobility. Kia recently launched its EV9 flagship 3-row electric SUV, it is time for Hyundai to come up with a version of its own. Design is based on the Seven Concept, revealed in 2021. Let’s take a look.
    Hyundai Ioniq 9 Teased
    After previewing the Seven Concept in 2021, Hyundai is visualizing a production version of this concept in 2024. Initially, it was speculated to be called Hyundai Ioniq 7, owing to the Seven Concept name. However, the company is calling it Ioniq 9 and it will be positioned above Ioniq 5 and in line with Kia EV9.
    Hyundai Ioniq 9 Teased
    This will be company’s first 3-row electric SUV and it will be a global product with launch probabilities in many major markets including North America, Europe, South Korea and even India, for that matter. This will be the flagship electric SUV from Hyundai, just like EV9 is to Kia. Hyundai will reveal it later this month and production will start in calendar year 2024.
    The teaser does not reveal a lot. Only the side profile can be seen, albeit partially. The production car stays very faithful to its concept with a similar appeal. The side window line has a kink projecting from C-Pillar towards D-Pillar. Roof rails lend a taller appearance, needed to signify Ioniq 9’s overall size.
    Hyundai Seven Concept
    Hyundai Ioniq 9 follows company’s ‘Aerosthetic’ design philosophy and is inspired by boats, known for their luxurious appeal. The front gets pixel-design single strip LED DRL signature and below them, we can see square-ish pixel design LED headlights. A-Pillars are swept-back with a smooth flow towards the end.
    At the rear, we can see the pixel LED bar design of Seven Concept, replaced with T-shaped signature in production model. Sharp creases on sheet metal and flared rear haunches, flush door handles and turbine-shape alloy wheels are notable elements. Doors are likely to be of conventional type, as opposed to suicide doors on Seven Concept.
    Hyundai Seven Concept
    Will it launch in India?
    The car could be around 5m+ in length with 3m+ wheelbase. Interior space on the inside, is likely to be a main strength of Ioniq 9. Considering that it is a flagship from Hyundai, sense of luxury and premium quotient will be high. The company might also stress on environmentally-friendly materials on the inside.
    Powertrains-wise, it could share the same 100 kWh battery as Kia EV9 with a dual motor layout kicking out 379 bhp of peak power and 700 Nm of peak torque. Launch prospect for India is pretty strong as a CBU, with around the same price point as Kia EV9.
