2022 Kia Niro EV

Hyundai

Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the Korean carmaker’s first ever fully dedicated battery electric car. It is built on a unique platform, e-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform) developed by Hyundai and Kia together.
Compared to <a href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-tesla-model-3-performance/">Tesla Model 3</a> and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/polestar-2-long-range-dual-motor/">Polestar 2</a>, Ioniq 5 looks like a boxy hatchback, Hyundai calls it a crossover. Fastest Ioniq 5 can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. It has a moveable center console on the inside, safety features like blindspot indicator, lane keeping, and remote parking capabilities.
<h2>Ioniq 5 Performance</h2>
Ioniq 5 has two battery pack options, Standard Range version offers 58 kWh capacity, whereas Long Range models will be equipped with a 77.4 kWh battery. Hyundai also offers two drivetrains for both of these battery options. RWD has a single electric motor and up to 217 horsepower. Those who wants to get more power will choose the AWD option for dual motors and up to 306 HP. It can tow a caravan up to 1,600 kilos of weight.
The stalk behind the steering wheel allows driver to easily change gear, put the vehicle on parking mode etc. Ioniq 5’s smooth driving experience will improve with very clever blindspot indicator feature. Whenever you put an indicator on, cameras from the each side of the vehicle will show you the blindspots, making Ioniq 5 much more safer to drive. There’s also a head-up display (HUD) that includes the vehicle’s speed, navigation etc.
<h2>Ioniq 5 Design and Features</h2>
In terms of appearance, Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks like a hatchback, but it’s actually a crossover, or an all-electric CUV. When Hyundai designed the new Ioniq 5, they took a lot of inspiration from the first vehicle they actually manufactured. It is the Hyundai Pony from the 1980s. It has got a very interest retro design, standing out from the crowd with its boxy shape. The headlights and taillights which use square shaped LEDs are also retro styled.
In profile, Ioniq 5 has an enormous wheelbase of over three meters, longer than a Range Rover Sport, which give this electric Hyundai plenty of space inside.
On the front of the vehicle, there is a little frunk, enough for a few grocery bags or a backpack, not even close to the capacity Teslas and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/ford-mustang-mach-e-gt/">Ford Mustang Mach-E</a> offer.
The interior of the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 is as unique as its exterior design. Modular design allows Hyundai to equip its new vehicle with two 12 inch displays, one for the full-touch infotainment system, and the other acting as a digital gauge cluster. Thanks to its long wheelbase and flat floor, Ioniq 5’s center console can slide back almost 15 centimeters, creating a spacious car experience for the driver and passengers.
The Ioniq 5 got five USB ports, a 220V outlet for any tools and gadgets you want to power, a glove draw instead of a traditional glovebox, seats that can be almost fully recline, Bose sound system etc.
<h2>Ioniq 5 Range and Charging</h2>
Ioniq 5 has the fastest charging technology in its segment. There are two charging systems, 400 volt and 800 volt electrical arcitectures available for the Ioniq 5. With the highest setup, all-electric CUV can be charged with 350 kW DC plugs, from 10 to 80 percent in roughly 18 minutes.
There is also the V2L (Vehicle to Load) feature that turn Ioniq 5 into a power source for your electronic devices, and simple tools that can be powered via a simple outlet. It allows a charging speed up to 3.6 kW. It is even possible to charge another electric vehicle with Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Chinese electric vehicle brands are a top priority at Licarco because the EV market has become increasingly dominated by pure electric Chinese cars. Last year, China sold more EVs than the rest of the world. BYD, NIO, ORA, and Geely are some of the biggest Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.
Even though China has been producing millions of EVs for years, American drivers wouldn&#8217;t be able to buy one. It&#8217;s because vehicles made in China are subjected to a %27.5 import tariff in the US. Due to heavy taxation, Chinese brands had not prioritized the US auto market in their global plans. But that&#8217;s changing quickly, as more and more Chinese EV marques are expanding their reach towards western markets, including United States.
In this article, we gathered a list of Chinese EV brands and their expansion plans. We will update this post when an announcement is made regarding any Chinese EV maker&#8217;s global expansion.

Top 15 EV Charging Networks in the US (Updated on Jan. 2023)

Tesla vehicles are famous for their in-car entertainment experience. There are a bunch of games available for drivers to enjoy while charging their vehicles or spending some time inside the car. You can even use a game controller for better experience. A couple of games will also require you to connect a controller to play.
In this article, we created a guide to help you easily connect your Xbox controller to your Tesla Model 3/Y.
<h2>A Complete Guide to Connecting an Xbox Controller to Tesla Model 3/Y</h2>
If you want to play games with an Xbox controller on your Tesla, use a data cable (not a charge-only USB cable that lacks the data transfer function) to plug your controller into your Tesla Model 3/Y&#8217;s main screen via the USB-C ports in the center console or the USB-A port in the glove box. If you prefer a wireless connection, or your controller cannot be connected to your Tesla via cable, just follow our guide down below.
Step 1. Buy a wireless adapter/dongle for pairing your Xbox controller. <a href="https://amzn.to/3HCaTTv">8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/3jyyigK">MAYFLASH Magic NS 2</a> are two of the most popular choices.
Step 2. Plug the wireless adapter into your Tesla via USB data ports. Use a USB-A to USB-C adapter if necessary. Please be aware that newer Model 3/Y vehicles don&#8217;t have USB data ports in the center console. You will need to use the USB-A port inside the glove compartment.
Step 3. Put your wireless adapter into pairing mode. 8Bitdo&#8217;s pairing button is on the bottom, whereas the Magic NS&#8217;s pairing mode can be activated by pressing the black button on the side until the light goes green and blinks fast.

Step 4. In order to put your controller into pairing mode, first press the Xbox button for one second until it lights up. Then, press and hold the circular pair button located on the back of the controller for three seconds.
Step 5. Once the wireless adapter and Xbox controller ared paired up, the lights on both of these devices will stop blinking. You will see a notification message on your Tesla&#8217;s screen that confirms the pairing.
Enjoy your games!
<h3>My Tesla says the Xbox controller is disconnected. How can I fix it?</h3>
Your wireless adapter might lose the connection between your Tesla and the Xbox controller. You just need to unplug the adapter and plug it into the car again. The controller will be paired with your car in a few seconds. If you experience this issue often, you might need to contact your seller and ask about the wireless adapter&#8217;s firmware update status. Sometimes a small update could fix these disconnection problems.
<h3>Can I connect all Xbox controllers to my Tesla?</h3>
There are numerous reports on people using Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Series X controllers both wirelessly and wired to play games on their Teslas. But some of these controllers are not supported by all wireless dongles on the market. You need to thoroughly research before buying an adapter.

How to Connect an Xbox Controller to Tesla Model 3/Y? | Complete Guide

Regenerative braking technology is a bliss for the efficiency of <a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">all-electric vehicles</a>. But it takes time to get used to this helpful feature. Sometimes it gets annoying or makes no sense on some occasions. There is an option to turn it off, but things get complicated with <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a>. Let us explain.
If you want to turn off regenerative braking on your Tesla, you probably won&#8217;t find any disabling option in the menu. Because turning off regenerative braking is not possible on a Tesla. It is also impossible to adjust the regen on Tesla vehicles built since Q2 2020. Tesla Model S/3/X/Y vehicles built before that date can still be able to offer adjustments. You just need to navigate through the main screen and go to Driving, then change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; to &#8216;Low&#8217; for reducing the level of regenerative braking.
Newer Tesla vehicles come with standard level regen as default. There is no &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; adjustment option anymore. So, why wouldn&#8217;t Tesla allow its drivers to adjust regenerative braking? The main reason is that the vehicle range is heavily affected by not being able to recuperate the energy you otherwise lost to heat, etc by pressing the brake pedal. Other automakers agree with Tesla as well. According to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://electrek.co/2018/08/08/audi-e-tron-quattro-electric-suv-range-regen-braking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Audi</a>, regenerative braking can extend the range by up to 30% on average. Soon, every new electric vehicle on the market will probably remove the option to adjust regenerative braking for the sake of efficiency.
<h2>How to Adjust Regenerative Braking on Tesla Model Y/3 and Model S/X?</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32384" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-300x169.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-768x432.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425.webp 1088w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
If you drive a Tesla vehicle built before Q2 2022, your car&#8217;s main screen comes with an option to adjust regenerative braking. You just need to go to settings, then select the &#8216;Driving&#8217; menu from the left and change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; option to &#8216;Low&#8217; for partially turning off the regen.
You won&#8217;t be able to turn off this feature. There is, however, a way to heavily limit the effects of regen braking. Here&#8217;s how:
<h3>Why Does Regenerative Braking Limited on My Tesla?</h3>
If you live in a cold area or your battery is fully charged, your Tesla vehicle would warn you about the regenerative braking is being limited. That&#8217;s because the battery is unable to receive the energy from the regen system and the battery&#8217;s management system temporarily turns off the regenerative braking feature. It might take up to half an hour for your vehicle to recover from that. In order to reduce the negative effects of this limitation, you can enable an extra feature for automatically applying the brake pedals instead of regen braking. Just go to Controls &gt; Pedals &amp; Steering, then turn on the &#8216;Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking is Limited&#8217; option.
<h3>Does Regenerative Braking Work on Icy/Snowy Roads?</h3>
Not being able to turn off regenerative braking might sound dangerous on icy/snowy roads, but Tesla has a solution for this. In 2022, Tesla adjusted the traction control software of its vehicles and added a hidden snow mode. Its main function is to better handle regen braking adjustments on icy roads and snow. Take a look at the video down below for more detail.

How to Turn Off Regenerative Braking on a Tesla?

Israel has become one of the most EV-friendly countries in the Middle East. Regular ICE vehicles are subject to high taxation (up to 83 percent, including purchase tax and VAT), while there is only a 10 percent tax on fully-electric models in Israel. Auto-importers are exploiting the unbalance between two kinds of cars, and the first brands to benefit from this are, of course, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/best-chinese-ev-manufacturers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers</a>.
People in Israel are not only facing heft taxation when buying a vehicle, but they also have to burden 62 percent taxation when filling up their tanks. Thus, low tax levels on electric car purchases and tax-free electricity give this country no other option than to adopt EVs.
We realized the rising popularity of EVs in Israel and prepared a list of budget-friendly Chinese electric vehicles in order to help our visitors from Israel easily compare affordable EV options.

9 Affordable Chinese EVs Available in Israel

On Tuesday, Kia unveiled photos of the 2024 Kia EV9 three-row electric crossover SUV. The automaker has laid the groundwork for a new flagship that will be based on the idea that debuted two years ago at the 2021 Los Angeles Motor Show.
The tall, boxy crossover SUV updates the attractive design of the Kia Telluride. With a novel twist on the brand&#8217;s dogbone grille, the vertical ends defy aerodynamics. Daytime running lights strike the fender like a lightning bolt from the bumper.
The LED headlights are all new, consisting of two stacks of little cubes, similar to an ice tray of light. Out back, the stepped pattern is repeated with taillights that ascend up the tailgate to the integrated rear roof spoiler. Kia foregoes the light bars that brace the front and rear of many other EVs, particularly in the premium class.
Large wheels with a noticeably square form are housed in boxy wheel arches. It has a discordant yet appealing design, although Kia has not revealed wheel sizes, standard features, or any other details. The roof is worn like a cap by the squat greenhouse, and a kink at the quarter window cuts a sharp line up to the roof spoiler. It appears to be both sporty and truck-like, implying some off-road capability.
<h2>The EV9 Will Have A Range of Up To 482 Kilometers/300 Miles</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-33518 size-full" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />
The cabin is even more spacious than in any other Kia car and most other production EVs. The cockpit is familiar, with two 12.3-inch panels separated by a 5.0-inch monitor behind a single pane of glass. The blocky dash, like the exterior, spreads horizontally, but instead of the haptic panel seen on contemporary Kia vehicles, Kia placed certain crucial climate control controls behind the vents. A shift lever is attached to the steering column, although the open top half of the steering wheel resembles, but differs from, the Kia EV6.
The 2024 Kia EV9 is most compelling from the dashboard back, in six- or seven-seat configurations. The floor is left open by a floating center console, which looks to feature many storage places. The front and second-row seats recline, allowing users to &#8220;relax and rest while the EV is charging,&#8221; according to Kia.
<h2>2024 Kia EV9&#8217;s Technical Specifications Comes Very Soon</h2>
EV9 will be the biggest car yet developed and constructed on the E-GMP dedicated electric-vehicle platform. The EV9 &#8220;will become the brand&#8217;s flagship vehicle and will redefine the big electric SUV category,&#8221; according to Kia, in 2022. The EV9 looks to have the potential to propel Kia into the realm of luxury.

For the time being, there are just a handful of three-row electric SUVs fetching premium pricing. The Tesla Model X was the first three-row electric vehicle to hit the market, and it recently received a $10,000 price decrease, lowering the starting price to $101,380 for five seats; an extra row costs $3,500 more. That&#8217;s a little less than the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, which starts at $105,000 and goes up to more than $130,000. The 2023 Rivian R1S starts at about $80,000 in price.
The 2024 Kia EV9&#8217;s technical specifications are due around the end of March. The price will be announced closer to the vehicle&#8217;s on-sale date later this year.

The 2024 Kia EV9 SUV Makes Its Debut With Concept Exterior

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">Electric vehicles</a> are getting really popular, but the main concerns, such as short range and long charging times that hold conventional vehicle owners back from switching sides are still yet to be solved. That is where higher-voltage electric vehicles are coming into play. Tesla recently announced its 1000-volt system and hinted more Tesla vehicles will benefit from the new tech. Future EVs will eventually make the switch from 400V to higher voltage systems.
800V or higher voltage electric vehicles are capable of delivering <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/top-15-ev-charging-networks-in-the-us">ultra-fast charging</a> rates and offer higher performance while improving the efficiency of the all systems. 800V electric vehicles can only be possible by employing an 800V battery and using SiC (Silicone Carbide) inverter, proper cabling, OBC (On-board Charger), DCDC converter and other electrical equipments that support higher voltage levels. Conventional electric vehicles come with 400V electrical architecture as standard. Because of the voltage limit, today&#8217;s electric vehicles are limited to a maximum of 400-volt when they are connected to a DC charging station. In order to reach higher charge rates, current levels should go up to 600A or even more, which is not ideal for the infrastructure that charging stations heavily rely on.
The first higher-voltage EV is the Porsche Taycan, which has a cutting-edge 800V inverter built-in. Its DC charging rate can go as high as 270 kW with the proper charging setup. After that Hyundai and Kia developed an alternative 800V charging tech to avoid using an expensive 800V SiC inverter. In late 2021, Lucid Motors launched its first vehicle Lucid Air with an industry-leading 924V system developed by <a href="https://eepower.com/news/wolfspeed-announces-the-lucid-air-is-using-its-sic-power-modules/#">Wolfspeed</a>. And one year later, Tesla unveiled its first 1000V vehicle architecture with the launch of the tri-motor electric truck Tesla Semi. <a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/ev-charging-800-volt">General Motors</a>, Volkswagen, and, of course, Chinese brands such as Aion, Avatr, Xpeng, Zeekr, BYD, Voyah and Li Auto have also been developing 800V high-voltage electrical systems for their EVs.
In this article, we researched our way into higher voltage electric vehicles and created a list of benefits of owning an 800V EV.
<h2>Faster Charging Compared to 400V Electric Vehicles</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32268" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1568x1045.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
800V or higher voltage systems allow electric vehicles to be charged at as high as 480 kW, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/xpeng-g9-awd">Xpeng G9</a> proved. Regular 400V electric vehicles aren&#8217;t capable of doing that, because of the charging infrastructure&#8217;s current limit. When you plug your 400V vehicle into a DC charger, you limit your session to 400-volt. To provide faster charging speeds, EV charger should deliver more current, sometimes as high as 600A or even more (The third-gen Tesla Superchargers can deliver up to 660-amper). In order to increase the current, thicker and water-cooled cables are needed. Even using these expensive cables are not enough to lower down the charge efficiency, as conduction losses will increase up to nine times.
EV manufacturers have been developing 800V charging technologies to overcome this fast-charging problem. Some companies such as Porsche/Audi, Lucid Motors, and Xpeng use SiC inverters inside their EVs. These next-gen SiC inverters can handle higher voltages and also improve efficiency. Hyundai and Kia took a different approach to this matter. Korean automakers developed a technology that manages to provide 800-volt charging by using electric motors as generator and a regular IGBT inverter.
Thanks to more advanced electronics, 800-volt charging enables vehicle owners to reach up to 480 kW DC charging rates. For instance, Xpeng G9 and Aion LX Plus are already on sale that support ultra-fast 480+ kW charging. Lucid Air can go as high as 300 kW. Porsche Taycan did perform similiarly. Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 is also capable of delivering up to 240 kW DC charging speeds. 800V charging is definitely the future of EVs!
<h3>More Efficient &amp; More Powerful Electric Drivetrains</h3>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32291" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1024x696.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="510" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-300x204.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-768x522.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1536x1044.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1568x1066.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech.jpg 1938w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
By switching to a 800V architecture, EV manufacturers can make use of higher voltage motors as well. Porsche is the first company to implement an 800V electric motor into its vehicles. Higher voltage improves overall power density of the motor unit and it reduces the maximum torque required to achieve the same output power due to extended RPM range.
As the DC link voltage of the EV motor units increase, the current levels decrease. This leads to lower copper loss and improves efficiency of the electrical traction systems. Higher voltage motors are also tend to produce more power than lower voltage solutions.
From the efficiency perspective, the next-gen SiC inverters used inside 800V electric vehicles are also much more efficient. <a href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-yangwang-u8">BYD recently unveiled</a> its first SiC inverter developed in-house, which scores an efficiency level of 99.5 percent.
<h3>800V Architectures Mean Lighter Electric Cars</h3>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-32293 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1568x1045.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
800-volt electrical architectures can be created by using thinner cables between the battery pack and the inverter, DC charging port, OBC, and other equipments. As a result, 800V electric vehicles will use less copper and that would reduce the overall weight of the car.
Higher voltage electric motors are also significantly lighter and more power-dense than regular lower voltage units. That means 800V electric vehicles can be equipped with smaller, lighter motors. That creates more room for batteries as well.
<h3>Reduced Cost of Cabling, Less Copper Used Inside the Vehicle</h3>
Electric vehicles use more copper than any other vehicles. It takes 2 to 4 times more copper to build an EV than an ICE vehicle. But unlike 400V EVs, higher voltage systems don&#8217;t require thick copper cables. That will not only help manufacturers reduce the cost of cabling but also ease up the global copper supply chain. Because EV batteries and heavy investments in EV charging infrastructure have already been causing problems for the copper industry, thinner cables will help in the near future.
Here are some disadvantages of choosing 800V electrical system over a regular 400V architecture:
&#8211; Higher cost of electrical insulation and clearance
&#8211; Higher voltage battery packs tend to perform less reliable than 400V systems, because they contain larger number of series connections. The impact of single cell failure in a pack like this would be much higher than the 400V batteries with more parallel cells.
&#8211; Lower voltage battery packs are more energy-dense than the similiarly designed 800V batteries, which is the result of all the additional electrical clearance requirements around high voltage systems and the much larger BMS.

What is 800V Electric Vehicle? | What are the Benefits of 800V Systems?

Ahead of its 2023 release, Kia is unveiling the EV9, its first electric SUV. The three-row electric SUV was initially displayed as a concept car at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show. But as its production date approaches, Kia is giving us a deeper look at what to expect.
As the demand for EVs increases, the electric SUV market is heating up. Now is the time that Kia is launching its own &#8220;flagship&#8221; EV SUV, the EV9.
<h2>Kia Desires to Enhance Its Position in Electric Car Sector</h2>
With the introduction of the EV6, Kia&#8217;s first entirely electric vehicle, the year 2022 has been successful. Kia hopes to maintain the momentum it gained in November when it set records for sales.
The Hyundai Motor Group&#8217;s E-GMP platform, which already supports Hyundai&#8217;s <a href="https://www.licarco.com/hyundai-ioniq-5-long-range-awd-2">IONIQ 5</a> and Kia&#8217;s EV6, will support the Kia EV9, the automaker&#8217;s second entirely electric car.

&nbsp;
As sales of gas-powered cars decline, Kia, like its parent company Hyundai, has embraced completely electric technology. It has incorporated EV-inspired design elements into its whole <a href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-hyundai-kona-electric-150-kw">KONA</a> series.
The EV9 is predicted to revolutionize everything for Kia and the market for electric SUVs. Kia released further details about the concept in March 2021. The SUV accelerates a 0 to 100 km/h speed of 5 seconds and 336 miles/540 km range on a full charge. The concept was initially unveiled at the LA Auto Show in 2021.

As the company seeks to sell 1.2 million EVs yearly by 2030, Kia&#8217;s flagship EV9 is so crucial role.
<h2>EV9 Electric SUV Launch Hinted </h2>
The EV9 will go into production in 2023, according to a statement from Kia in August that included photographs of the vehicle covered in camouflage. Since Kia India issued a teaser video on its Twitter account showcasing the car&#8217;s distinctive shape and edges, the carmaker plans to remove the coverings.

Volvo

Volvo has aimed to produce only fully electric cars by 2030 and to become carbon neutral by 2040. In pursuit of this, the company has announced its investment of $1.25 billion into the third factory in Europe in addition to its two plants in Sweden and Belgium.
The new factory will be located near Kosice in eastern Slovakia, which is very important location for the company. Volvo Cars creates a European triangle of manufacturing covering its largest sales region — complementing the Ghent plant (Belgium) in western Europe and the Torslanda plant (Sweden) in northern Europe.
The building of the Slovakia factory will begin in 2023 and production equipment and production lines will be assembled in 2024. The Slovakian government will undertake 20% of the investment. The mass production of the &#8216;next generation&#8217; electric Volvos will start by 2026.
By ‘next generation’, it means Volvo&#8217;s mega casting technology will produce most of the vehicle chassis in one piece with giant aluminum casting machines. Thanks to the new technique that will reduce the production cost and vehicle weight, the new generation Volvo electric vehicles will be able to offer a much longer range compared to their counterparts, and more space for the driver and passengers in the car.
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;">Volvo’s 2025 goal: 1.2 million cars</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-8173" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/volvo-megacasting-12-ev-platform-1024x576.jpg" alt="Volvo Mega Casting Platform" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/volvo-megacasting-12-ev-platform-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/volvo-megacasting-12-ev-platform-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/volvo-megacasting-12-ev-platform-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/volvo-megacasting-12-ev-platform.jpg 1350w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The Swedish automotive giant plans to produce approximately 250.000 electric cars per year in its third European factory. The company will meet its energy needs from entirely renewable sources and will ensure that the aluminum used in the factory is produced in the most environmental-friendly way.
Volvo predicts that it will increase its annual automobile production capacity to 1.2 million by 2025 with the start of production in Slovakia. European factories will undertake half of this capacity, while facilities in the USA and China will meet the other half.
The company has decided to build a new plant in Slovakia because of not only the European automobile market but also the generous incentive of the Slovakian government. Volvo still sells the most cars in Europe. The company has made significant gains in the Chinese market recently whereas they will continue to be the western-oriented brand of the Geely Group, as can be understood with this investment move.

Volvo to build a new factory in Slovakia with an investment of $1.25 billion

Hyundai Motor has validated its intention to construct a new assembly plant but has declined to provide specifics about its location. &#8220;We are excited to announce a new EV plant plan in the United States soon, but we do not have details to share at this time,&#8221; Hyundai told in the statement.
According to Reuters, the new Georgia factory will produce both the Hyundai Ioniq 7 and the Kia EV9 — 7-passenger battery-electric SUVs specifically designed for American drivers. Each is essentially a battery-powered variant of the Hyundai Telluride and Kia Palisade, the company&#8217;s largest vehicles. The ultimate official statement is likely to come later in the month, once President Biden travels to South Korea.
Hyundai announced recently a $300 million investment to transform its Alabama production plant to produce the battery-electric Genesis GV 70 and a hybrid Santa Fe. The GV 70 will indeed be Hyundai&#8217;s first electric vehicle produced in the United States. Kia has stated that it will have 14 electric vehicles by 2027. Hyundai has stated that it will launch 17 vehicles by 2030, including six for its luxury Genesis brand.
<h2>Free Land, Grants, Tax Credits, And Workforce</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-10541 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-1024x680.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="498" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-1024x680.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-300x199.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-768x510.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
SK Innovation, a battery supplier to Hyundai and Kia, already operates two battery factories in Georgia. One of them manufactures batteries for Volkswagen and began production earlier this year. Another one will provide batteries to Ford, which is constructing a new EV manufacturing facility in Tennessee. According to Reuters, the Ioniq 7&#8217;s battery will be supplied by SK On, a division of SK Innovation.
The AJC says, “The incentive package that state officials would offer to land the Hyundai Motor expansion is not immediately clear, but it could rival the record-breaking $1.5 billion bounties of perks negotiated for Rivian, which includes free land, grants, tax credits, a workforce training center, and infrastructure improvements.”
Georgia is planning to commit public resources to two major automotive manufacturers — Rivian and Hyundai/Kia — in the hopes of creating thousands of manufacturing jobs, and transforming rural areas of the state.
The arrangement with Georgia and Hyundai Motor is still in the works. Governor Kemp is now being called into question by the ex-senator David Perdue. According to former House Speaker Tip O&#8217;Neill, &#8220;all politics is local.&#8221; Rural voters who want to keep their way of life may have the final say on whether a new Hyundai and Kia factory is built.

The most exciting announcement during the 2022 CEO Investor Forum is the new modular platform which will debut in 2025. The new Integrated Modular Architecture (IMA) will be the evolved version of the electric global platform (E-GMP), which will be on the market with Hyundai vehicles like the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/hyundai-ioniq-5-long-range-awd/">Ioniq 5</a>, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/kia-ev6-gt/">Kia EV6</a>, and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/genesis-gv60-performance/">Genesis GV60</a>.
The Korean carmaker elaborated that the IMA will be developed to standardize the chassis, battery system, and motor. Its innovative architecture will improve the driving range and be used for BEVs in all segments.
The existing BEV development system of the company has different types of battery packs for each model; however, the IMA will allow equipping standardized battery packs and motors for all models, which increases cost-efficiency.  Its cell-to-pack system will allow this new architecture to be able to achieve enough energy density and decrease the charging time.
