Ford, GM And Hyundai Are Adapting Differently To The Evolving EV Dynamics
At its recent CEO Investor Day, Hyundai announced its plans for boosting profitability by diversifying its hybrid and EV lineups. Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation also just announced a joint venture to enhance competitiveness in future EV batteries by launching a new manufacturing process to develop lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cathode material. In addition, Hyundai has an ongoing partnership with the innovative clean-energy pickup accessory manufacturer, Worksport Ltd (NASDAQ:WKSP) for the solar-powered SOLIS tonneau cover whose alpha launch was released this month, along with its off-grid power partner, COR portable battery generator. Moreover, Worksport just announced it expanded its sales to Federal Government Agencies, after supplying its flagship made-in-USA AL3 Tonneau Covers for regular fleet purchases. Therefore, Hyundai already secured access to cutting edge solutions Worksport has to offer, like the SOLIS and COR power duo. Worksport is only an example of game-changing solutions that will undoubtedly support traditional automakers like Hyundai, Ford and GM to gear up for the EV era and possibly, catch up to Tesla sometime in the future.While Ford Motor (NYSE:F) remains focused on hybrids in the near-term, General Motors (NYSE:GM) has been significantly increasing its EV portfolio, and Hyundai Motor Company (OTC:HYMTF) is maintaining its EV sales momentum as it works on solidifying its EV positioning.
儘管福特汽車（紐約證券交易所代碼：F）在短期內仍將重點放在混合動力汽車上，但通用汽車（紐約證券交易所代碼：GM）一直在大幅增加其電動汽車產品組合，現代汽車公司（場外交易代碼：HYMTF）在努力鞏固其電動汽車定位的同時保持其電動汽車銷售勢頭。
On Wednesday, Ford announced that it sold a total of 504,039 vehicles during the third quarter, which marks a YoY improvement of 0.7%. Year-to-date, Ford experienced a sales rise of 2.7% as it sold 1,548,172 vehicles.Hybrids led the way as Ford sold 48,101 of them, with sales growing as much as 38%. Ford revealed its struggling EV business also grew 12.2% to 23,509 sold vehicles but EV sales growth slowed, causing Ford to lose its EV lead to its Detroit peer, General Motors. During the first nine months of the year, Ford sold 67,689 EVs, up 45% on an annual basis. This places Ford just behind General Motors who sold 70,450 EVs through September. On Tuesday, GM reported that this figure that includes a rise of about 60% during the third quarter. But both Ford and General Motors continue to trail Hyundai Motor Company, who remains a distant second to the EV king, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA).
福特週三宣佈，第三季度共售出504,039輛汽車，同比增長0.7％。今年迄今爲止，福特的銷量增長了2.7％，售出了1,548,172輛汽車。混合動力車處於領先地位，福特售出了48,101輛，銷量增長了38％。福特透露，其陷入困境的電動汽車業務也增長了12.2％，達到23,509輛汽車，但電動汽車銷量增長放緩，導致福特失去了在底特律的同行通用汽車的領先地位。在今年的前九個月中，福特售出了67,689輛電動汽車，同比增長45％。這使福特僅次於通用汽車，後者截至9月已售出70,450輛電動汽車。通用汽車週二報告稱，這一數字包括第三季度約60％的增長。但是福特和通用汽車都繼續落後於現代汽車公司，後者仍然僅次於電動汽車之王特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）。

在最近的首席執行官投資者日上，現代汽車宣佈了通過多元化混合動力和電動汽車產品陣容來提高盈利能力的計劃。現代汽車公司和起亞公司也剛剛宣佈成立合資企業，通過啓動開發磷酸鐵鋰（LFP）電池正極材料的新制造工藝來增強未來電動汽車電池的競爭力。此外，現代汽車與創新的清潔能源皮卡配件製造商Worksport Ltd（納斯達克股票代碼：WKSP）以及其離網電力合作伙伴COR便攜式電池發電機一直保持着合作關係，生產本月發佈的Alpha版太陽能酒桶蓋。此外，Worksport剛剛宣佈，在爲常規車隊購買提供了旗艦產品美國製造的AL3酒桶蓋後，其銷售範圍擴大到聯邦政府機構。因此，現代已經獲得了Worksport所提供的尖端解決方案，例如SOLIS和COR power duo。Worksport只是改變遊戲規則的解決方案的一個例子，這些解決方案無疑將支持現代、福特和通用汽車等傳統汽車製造商爲電動汽車時代做好準備，並可能在未來的某個時候趕上特斯拉。
