The groundbreaking comes after Hyundai Motor said it would stick to its EV
rollout plans - a contrast to some rivals that have pulled back on EV production

trillion won (USD 1.52 billion) dedicated electric vehicle (EV) plant in South
Korea, as the automaker accelerate a shift to electrification.

Hyundai Motor, the world's No.3 automaker by sales with its affiliate Kia Corp
(000270.KS), plans to begin mass production of EVs from the plant in the first
quarter of 2026 after completing construction in 2025.

Hyundai Motor Group, which encompasses Hyundai Motor, Kia and Genesis brands,
said in April it plans to launch 31 EVs by 2030.

Hyundai Motor Group's Executive Chair Euisun Chung, Hyundai Motor's Chief
Executive Officer and other officials, including the Ulsan Metropolitan City
Mayor, attended the event to witness the ground breaking of the EV factory, the
automaker's first new plant in South Korea in 29 years. Hyundai's Ulsan complex
is its biggest manufacturing site.

The groundbreaking comes after Hyundai Motor said it would stick to its EV
rollout plans - a contrast to some rivals that have pulled back on EV production
due to cooling demand.



Citing flattening demand for EVs, General Motors Co (GM.N) said it would delay
production by a year of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra electric pickup
trucks at a plant in Michigan. Ford Motor Co (F.N) is temporarily cutting one of
three shifts at the plant that builds its electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck.

Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) is also slowing plans for a Mexico factory, while GM and
Honda (7267.T) announced last month that they were ending a USD 5 billion plan
to develop lower-cost EVs together.

Last year, Hyundai Motor Group broke ground on a USD 5.54 billion EV and battery
plants in the U.S. state of Georgia.
