#e-gmp platform

Interior design:  Because of the E-GMP platform, the interior of the Kia EV6 is very spacious. The manufacturer implemented a curved high-definition audio/visual and navigation (AVN) screen and significantly limited the number of buttons and knobs compared to previous generations. There are multiple buttons on the steering wheel, and it seems that they will be very useful to control the most important functions.  

IONIQ 5 is made up and is running on the platform called "E-GMP" Hyundai's first EV-dedicated platform, E-GMP (Electric – Global Modular Platform) As much as the stunning exterior and feature IONIQ 5 has inside out, there are much technology and innovation underneath IONIQ 5 as well. Check out close-up look and details of E-GMP, capturing everything about it from the chassis, motors, batteries, suspensions, etc.

(..)Hyundai chooses CATL, and SK Innovation againAs previously mentioned, this is not the first time either of these battery manufacturers has been hired by Hyundai. Previously, SK Innovation supplied the batteries for the first volume of E-GMPs to be produced. Additionally, CATL supplies the batch of batteries for the second wave of E-GMPs.According to a report from The Elec, CATL will be supplying batteries for two of the three Hyundai vehicles scheduled to launch after 2023. According to the article, Hyundai likely chose China-based CATL to more easily expand in the country. China remains one of the largest EV markets in the world in addition to an enormous hub for battery manufacturing.

P.S. E-GMP platform looks more advanced and better designed than MEB platform. If you are looking for  modern long range EV with a lot off interesting features then Ioniq 5 is very good alternative to German car brands...!?!?

(..) However, normal competition among EVs is not the only goal. The South Korean manufacturer intends to significantly close the gap to ICE refuelling time.  To improve the charging rate, the company has developed a new liquid thermal management system, in which battery cells are in direct contact with a cooling plate.(..)
