- Hyundai aims to make EV charging as fast as petrol car refueling.
- Tyrone Johnson, Hyundai's tech boss, emphasizes the need for faster charging to match customer expectations.
- Customers expect a 3-minute charge time, similar to petrol cars, to alleviate range anxiety.
- Fast charging should be achieved without adding more batteries to avoid increased weight and reduced space.
- Hyundai is investing in 400kW charging tech to reduce charge times and improve efficiency.
- The EV industry needs time to develop a reliable charging infrastructure, similar to the 100-year development of ICE fueling.
