AutoExec Summary
Hyundai is developing an electric range-extender for its upcoming electric ute and next-generation Santa Fe models. The range-extender is a small petrol or diesel engine that will provide electricity to the battery instead of directly driving the wheels. Hyundai has not officially confirmed the production of the electric ute, but plans are in the works. The electric ute is expected to compete with models like the Rivian R1T and may have a driving range of over 530 kilometers. The range-extenders for Hyundai’s electric models, including the ute and Santa Fe, are not expected to reach production until 2028 or 2029.
