AutoExec Summary
Hyundai has confirmed the launch of its next-generation hybrid technology, which promises to outclass current conventional hybrids. Dubbed as Extended Range EVs (EREVs), the new fleet will operate similarly to Nissan’s e-Power vehicles, using the petrol engine solely to recharge the on-board battery. This means that only the electric motor, or motors, will drive the wheels, providing an EV-like driving experience with the convenience of refueling at regular service stations. Hyundai claims that these vehicles will be able to travel over 900km on a single tank, serving as a long-distance alternative to regular electric vehicles. The move is a direct response to the slowing EV market, with Hyundai planning to have the new technology in the global market by 2026.

Brands mentioned: Hyundai, Nissan, BMW, Range Rover, Toyota, Kia, Honda
