Initially the order is for a 400 watt/160 kilowatt unit, but Vitesco says the EMR4 system is scalable and can be used across segments on the same platform. It has a power range of 80 to 230 kw, compared with a narrower range of 120 to 150 kw for the earlier generation.
Hyundai’s main EV platform is the E-GMP, first seen in the compact Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and the Genesis GV60.
