Hyundai Motor Group second in U.S. EV registrations

Initial-quarter registration information from Experian puts Tesla way out front in the EV race, with 113,882 registrations across its 4 styles. But Tesla’s counterpart to the Ioniq 5 and EV6, the Model Y, commences at $64,440 with delivery. That is about $22,000 far more than the Kia and about $19,000 extra than the Hyundai, based mostly on entry-level products at the moment on sale.

Experian very last 7 days noted 6,265 registrations for the Ioniq 5 in the very first quarter and 4,901 for the EV6. Kia also experienced 3,549 registrations for the Niro EV, and Hyundai experienced 685 for the Kona Electrical. Hyundai’s discontinued Ioniq Electric powered hatchback, which launched in 2017, posted 14 registrations.

All advised, the group experienced 15,414 EV registrations in the initial quarter, Experian claimed. The Ford brand experienced 7,407 registrations, largely for the Mustang Mach-E compact crossover. Chevrolet experienced just 479 EV registrations for the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV put together immediately after a long manufacturing facility shutdown, but GM had 80 for the new GMC Hummer EV pickup.

All world automakers, including Tesla, have reported their production is constrained by parts shortages, especially semiconductors.

Registrations of Volkswagen’s ID4 compact crossover were 2,926 in the January-March period, and Nissan had 4,401 for its Leaf compact hatchback.

Makes with zero to start with-quarter EV registrations included Toyota, Honda, Subaru and Mitsubishi — the extremely Japanese rivals Hyundai and Kia are concentrating on for conquest, together with Nissan and Mazda.
