Hyundai Genesis Electric

Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA) has launched the Genesis Electrified GV70 SUV. It is the first Genesis model to be assembled in the U.S.

Genesis has committed that all new models launched will be all-electric starting in 2025, and that its entire vehicle lineup will be electric by 2030.

In addition, Hyundai Mobis currently is investing $205 million to build an EV battery module plant in Montgomery that will eventually employ at least 400 people. Once it reaches full production, the 450,000-sq.-ft. facility will be able to supply more than 200,000 EV batteries annually to the HMMA factory and the Kia Georgia plant. Production is expected to begin in 2024.
