    Genesis Planning Plug-In Hybrids

      Genesis is the latest luxury automaker to announce plug-in hybrids

    Genesis is following in the footsteps of other luxury automakers by planning a number of plug-in models. Speaking with Automotive News, Hyundai Motor America' CEO Dave Zuchowski said Genesis and Hyundai are working on a number of plug-in hybrid vehicles. Zuchowski explained the brands see this a stepping stone to hydrogen vehicles.

     

    "Some of those [plug-in hybrids] will take the form of the Genesis side of our business. We believe alternative-propulsion engines are going to be really important -- even more important in the luxury market than they are in the mainstream market," said Zuchowski.

     

    Zuchowski kept quiet on Genesis vehicles will get the plug-in treatment. But considering Genesis' lineup in the near future will include will include a couple of SUVs and a small compact sedan to join the G80 midsize sedan and G90 flagship, we wouldn't be surprised if one of those SUVs and the G90 get the plug-in option.

    Who ever gets a solid Volt Like Powertrain luxury lineup will kick ass in the market place.

     

    I hope Cadillac expands faster and keeps the pressure on for the luxury lineup.

     

    I can see using the large space between the 4 wheels and having an electric motor between both wheels so you have pure EV AWD. You could then also still put a small generator in the engine bay to power everything else.

      Things getting more nuts.  I would rather buy Chinese than American, the Chinese are not bombing elementary schools and hospitals.  I look for GM and Ford to become niche players, if they exist at all in 15-20 years is in question.  I doubt any rational lever exists to stop the stupidity.

      Interesting, what do others think about Canada starting to allow in Chinese EVs? Canada Hands Out First China EV Permits, But Not Everyone Is Getting A Turn | Carscoops Have to say I really like the BYD SUV in the story above.

      Such a sad state of the Auto Industry as the rest of the world is getting new models, from EVs to Hybrids to discuss. America is now a Dictatorship Fascist state that we have just about nothing new. So Sad!!!

      Have to say that I have been thinking about what I want to replace the Escalade ESV with and of course at the top of my list is the Genesis GV90. Yet with Incompetence in DC, Genesis, Hyundai, Kia have delayed indefinitely all their new EVs while releasing them into the world globally where they are a huge success. The Genesis GV90 is delayed again for the world as they are now talking about early 2027 for production.   I have also thought that maybe a Scout would be nice, but until recently they have not confirmed if they are just using Rivian 400V system or truly going 800V. Today I checked and saw that three weeks ago they updated to confirm 800V system. Sadly they have been mum on if they will support AA / CP which Genesis will support. Figure I might just be in my Escalade another couple of years. Good thing it is in such good shape. This cracks me up that Pennsylvania never checked if their software would have a problem reading the new plates. How Funny!!! New license plate design has toll cameras malfunctioning across this state
