Genesis has a headache trying to figure out U.S. EV production, but it's starting with the electrified GV70.
. Of those, the Santa Fe is offered as a hybrid and there is an automated battery install station on the line, so the plant has dipped its toe into the EV pool, but that is an easy adjustment to the assembly process. As a battery-electric EV, the GV70 has a huge skateboard that must be fit under the SUV and that cannot be done on the regular line—with about 52 seconds per station to complete each task.The GV70 has an interesting, short-term solution.
Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama vice president Robert Burns says this is a workable solution during rampup when about six GV70s are coming off the line an hour on a single shift. When production picks up, and all three shifts with 3,800 employees are churning out a lotmore, a more permanent solution will need to be found. The battery can never be fully incorporated into the line to complete the job in 60 seconds or less.
