The Hyundai-Kia alliance has announced that it will push its electric car lineup by introducing 14 new electric models by 2025.

Hyundai Motor Senior Vice President Lee Ki-Sang made the announcement at a press briefing.

First up for electrification is the Hyundai Kona with a range of around 250 miles on a single charge in 2018. There had been talks recently of a bigger battery option that could bring the range beyond

The first all-electric Genesis is due in 2021 with a range of over 300 miles and Hyundai’s premium brand has another two EV models lined up until 2025 reportedly.

All models including the ones from Kia are likely to share a dedicated EV platform that is currently under development.
