Hyundai Ev Ute

to explore all-electric models from Hyundai USA such as IONIQ 5, and Kona Electric. about electric advantages and cost of ownership. The Hyundai electric ute's local arrival timing is yet to be disclosed, but if the investor presentation is a guide then it should be in showrooms by 2028 at the latest.

Hyundai intends to roll out its first electric ute on its new EV platform, but continues with big investments in hydrogen and ICE vehicles. Hyundai intends to lead the global EV ute industry, using an evolution of its acclaimed electrification technology that debuted with the Ioniq 5 back in 2021. As outlined in the 2023 CEO Investor Day meeting, Hyundai is developing the Integrated Modular Architecture (IMA) as a replacement for the existing E.

Hyundai's new electric car platform will support a range of vehicles of different shapes and sizes, including a ute. One of the two new Hyundai utes on the way is expected to be a dedicated battery. However, as mentioned earlier, Hyundai has yet to comment on this or make an official announcement regarding the upcoming launch of the dual-cab electric UTE.

The 10 in the T10 name indicates that the upcoming dual-cab UTE will be Hyundai's Ioniq EV lineup's top dog and the "T" refers to 'truck', a common term used in the US for a UTE. The electric Hyundai ute will be built on a unibody platform shared with cars and SUVs - similar to Geely's Radar RD6. Hyundai already has suitable EV platforms, and its global alliance with General Motors could unlock access to shared parts or even co-developed models.

That said, the appetite for electric utes - at least in markets like Australia and New Zealand - remains tepid, with infrastructure and range still key barriers. Hyundai now appears odds-on to launch an electric ute that will sit alongside Kia's new EV dual-cab, with the brand confirming an all-electric "light commercial vehicle" the day before its sister brand confirmed its own pick.
