Hyundai Motor Group EV Platform Reveal | Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP)

▪ Hyundai Motor Group reveals E-GMP, its first dedicated BEV platform, for next-generation BEV line-up
▪ BEVs based on E-GMP can provide range over 500km on a full charge (WLTP) and be charged up to 80% within 18 minutes through high-speed charging
▪ High performance model based on E-GMP will accelerate from zero to 100kph in less than 3.5 seconds, with top speed of 260kph
▪ Components optimize driving dynamics and safety, and maximize cabin space
▪ Integrated Power Electric system includes world’s first multi-charging (400V/800V) and bi-directional power conversion function
▪ Platform modularization and standardization enable rapid and flexible development depending on customer needs
▪ Hyundai Motor Group plans to introduce 23 BEV models and sell 1 million BEV units worldwide by 2025

From 2021, the E-GMP will underpin a range of dedicated new BEVs, including Hyundai Motor Company’s IONIQ 5; Kia Motors Corporation’s first dedicated BEV to be revealed in 2021; and a series of other models.

Designed exclusively for BEVs, E-GMP provides various advantages compared to the Group’s existing platforms, which have each been engineered predominantly to accommodate internal combustion engines. Benefits include increased development flexibility, powerful driving performance, increased driving range, strengthened safety features, and more interior space for occupants and luggage.

E-GMP is engineered to offer improved cornering performance and driving stability at high speed. This is due to optimal weight distribution between front and rear, a design which enables a low center of gravity thanks to its low-mounted battery pack, and the adoption of electric motors located in the space previously occupied by an engine.

The E-GMP’s compact new power electric (PE) system consists of a powerful motor, EV transmission and inverter. These three components are integrated into a single compact module. This ensures powerful performance by raising the motor’s maximum speed by up to 70 percent compared to existing motors. The high-speed motor is smaller than other motors while providing comparable performance, and it gives efficiencies in both space and weight.

Most existing EVs and the fast-charging infrastructure provide 50kWh~150kWh charging for EVs equipped with a 400V system; however, the development of 800V infrastructure, with up to 350kWh charging, will gradually enable even more fast-charging.

In line with this trend, Hyundai Motor Group has invested in IONITY, Europe’s leading high-power charging network, as a strategic partner and shareholder. IONITY operates 298 high-power charging (HPC) stations – using a charging capacity of up to 350 kWh – along highways in European countries. The company plans to increase this number to 400 HPC stations by 2022, including 53 currently under construction.

The E-GMP will underpin Hyundai Motor Group’s plans to introduce a total of 23 BEV models including 11 dedicated BEV models, and sell more than 1 million BEVs worldwide by 2025. As part of its BEV vision, Hyundai Motor Company launched its dedicated ‘IONIQ’ BEV brand in August 2020, which includes three dedicated BEV models, the IONIQ 5,6 and 7 by 2024. This currently covers various vehicle segments.

I love the e-gmp concept so much that I am now the new owner of an Ioniq 5. Loving the experience!

[plin]

bi-directional power flow at the charging socket is what I had been asking for years from manufacturers .

[wilmercab]

Very good, very interesting and organized.

[taxsi]

we need a 4 minutes version of this video.

[WilliamDye-willdye]

I wish the presentation had more technical details, but it's good to at least see what Hyundai has been doing lately. I'm concerned about the side-impact safety of this design, but let's wait for crash test results. Congrats and best wishes to the many Hyundai engineers who are working on this project.

[willempieffers]

Great presentation! Would buy a car based on such a platform!!

[JakobFischer]

That all looks great. Better than the concepts of BMW and Mercedes with their ICE/EV combined concepts. The benefit of a EV only concept will show quickly. And 800V and bidirectional charging will bring Hyundai far ahead of the others.

[robertparent]

Very nice tech coming....good to see this.

[mspalmboy]

Great to see the skateboard platform for the near future Ionic range of Hyundai EVs. Bring on the Ionic 5, it's a good looking car.

[ewadge]

Well, I'm not sure I'm much the wiser after this presentation.
So Hyundai has come up with a modular platform which can be used for a variety of different car models, similar to VW's MEB platform. That is a good thing as standardisation keeps costs down. Also this platform ought to give vehicles greater interior space which ought to be exciting for car interior designers.
They seem to have made improvements to efficiencies, also a good thing.


There is no mention of when this new platform shall start making an appearance in new EV models.

The internal combustion engine is on its last legs.

[victorseal]

A good presentation, which could be improved with less marketing and a few more facts. ie. what is the timeline for E GMP vehicles to arrive, the battery size is ? PS. The rapid charging times are impressive.

[ChadWilson]

If they can scale the product of this skateboard, I could see small and boutique makers trying to use this for their own body designs.

[DRAGON-qdwb]

동영상에는 배터리 냉각관련 정보가 없네요 ? 설마 과열에 어떻게 대처할지 궁금하네요

[andydogdad]

this is very promising! hopefully they can have competitive prices with ice

[jeffberwick]

Lots of pictures, but no numbers in the main presentation. I had to read the description below the video to get some range, acceleration and charging rate numbers. They look fairly good for today, but will need to be better to compete in a couple of years from now. WLTP range of 500km is more like 350km real-world.

[yegak]

They are working with a small EV startup in California called Canoo for the skateboard. Great stuff!

[nirankumar]

We could imagine the magnitude of engineering/innovation in EV. Over the next 5 years, the world will have Combustion equivalent EV's (with affordability, not the exorbitant price tag)

[Sacto]

This will become the platform that will underpin the successor to Hyundai Elantra and Sonata and Kia Forte (K3) and Optima (K5) models.

[gregbaniak]

Did you know that 160 kW motor in BOLT is made in Korea?

[ah.l]

In 5yrs, any company without a autonomous driving tech comparable to tesla will be doomed to fail.
