#ZACHMultimediaAutoMarketshareInsights #ZACHMultimediaElectricMobility #ZACHMultimediaEVs " Hyundai Motor Company (현대자동차) and Kia Zip Into the U.S. Car Market’s Fast Lane "South Korea’s automakers are getting a geopolitics boost with growing EV sales By Jacky Wong, The Wall Street Journal, 24 June 2024 === José Muñoz, Wonhong Cho, Angela Zepeda [Image - A Hyundai SUV during the 2023 New York International Auto Show in New York. Nearly 8% of Hyundai’s cars sold in the U.S. last year were EVs. PHOTO: Stephanie Keith/Bloomberg News] "South Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia already make some of America’s most popular cars, particularly in the hybrid category. Now geopolitics is helping them be even more competitive in the growing EV market. "Investors in the companies, which have designs and some ownership in common, have found themselves in the fast lane as a result. Shares of Hyundai Motor have gained 85% since the end of 2022 while those of Kia have more than doubled. Hyundai is Kia’s largest shareholder with a 34% stake. The two companies reported record earnings last year, with both increasing their operating profits by more than 50% from 2022. "The U.S. has been the major growth driver for both companies as they have steadily increased their market share. Hyundai and Kia together have more than 10% of the U.S. market, according to Goldman Sachs. Their combined revenue in North America has doubled in the past five years alone. With lucrative sport utility vehicles such as the Tucson and the Santa Fe, Goldman estimates that the U.S. is their most profitable market. "Their success in green technology is helping: Nearly 8% of Hyundai’s cars sold in the U.S. last year were EVs. That proportion was even higher at 16% in more EV-friendly Europe. But they have also been offering a more balanced portfolio of products: Around 10% of Hyundai’s cars sold in the U.S. were conventional hybrids. ["Kia overhauled its look in 2021 in the hopes of cultivating a more upmarket image as electric vehicles take center stage in the industry. The Wall Street Journal breaks down Kia’s efforts to change consumers’ perceptions of the brand. Illustration: Ryan Trefes] "That is especially important as hybrid sales could grow faster in the next few years while consumers sit on the fence for the EV transition. Nomura expects global hybrid sales to grow an average 26% between 2023 and 2026, outpacing the 19% growth in pure EVs. Nomura predicts even faster growth of 34% in the U.S. market. "Geopolitics will provide another tailwind as affordable Chinese EVs face obstacles in America. Currently, EVs from the Korean automakers aren’t necessarily eligible for $7,500 tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, but that would change after Hyundai’s $7.6 billion manufacturing plant in Georgia opens later this year.

A Line in the Sand 🚗⚡ Kia Australia Pty Ltd made a bold move by rejecting the first batch of EV5 electric SUVs due to quality concerns. CEO Damien Meredith emphasized the importance of setting clear standards with suppliers from the outset to ensure only the best reaches customers.

Smart decision-making at its finest!
