Internal-combustion vehicles made by Hyundai-Kia represented 8.9% of the global market in the first quarter of 2020. But the EVs it sells were 9.9% of the global electric-vehicle market. In other words, Hyundai could be the first legacy automaker that is now more competitive on EVs than with its gas- and diesel-powered cars.

Business Korea reported that in Q1 2020 Hyundai and Kia sold 28,796 electric vehicles, securing a 9.9% share. You could argue that the COVID-19 pandemic and strict CO2 standards in Europe combined to stall the overall auto market, but didn’t affect EV sales as strongly.

Regardless, it shows that the EV tipping point for Hyundai and its Kia brand could be closer than most people realize.

From 2016 until now, the global EV market grew by 4.28 times. But Hyundai-Kia’s EV sales ballooned by 20-fold. You might not see Hyundai as a major player for electric cars, at least in the US. But in the past five or so years, it went from ranking 15th in global EV sales to fourth place among automakers (behind Tesla, Nissan-Renault, and the Volkswagen Group).
