Hyundai may source twice as many batteries from CATL
Hyundai is reviewing plans to procure more Chinese batteries, possibly increasing the number of batteries it buys from CATL.
Sources said that Hyundai is likely to more than double the batteries it purchases from CATL. Currently, nickel-based batteries are mainly considered, and batteries with a length of 300mm or less will be purchased, mainly for electric vehicles on non-E-GMP platforms. Sources say CATL is offering batteries that are priced lower than Korean rivals like LG Energy Solution and SK On.
The move is thought to come as Hyundai and sister brand Kia are building new car factories in South Korea that will specialize in electric vehicles. The plant plans to produce about 350,000 cars this year and plans to increase that to 1.44 million by 2030, a goal that also requires a sufficient supply of batteries. (Source: TheElec)
