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.
福特汽車（NYSE：F）繼續專注於混合動力車型，而通用汽車（NYSE：GM）則大幅增加其電動車產品系列，而現代汽車公司（OTC：HYMTF）在鞏固其電動車定位的同時，保持着電動車銷售勢頭。

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).
週三，福特宣佈在第三季度銷售了總計504,039輛車，同比增長0.7%。截至目前，福特的銷量同比增長了2.7%，達到了1,548,172輛。混合動力車型領先增長，福特銷售了48,101輛，銷售額增長了38%。福特透露，其電動車業務雖然增長了12.2%，銷售了23,509輛車，但電動車銷售增速放緩，導致福特失去了在電動車領域的領先地位，被底特律的競爭對手通用汽車超越。今年前九個月，福特銷售了67,689輛電動車，同比增長45%。這使得福特僅落後於通用汽車，後者截至9月銷售了70,450輛電動車。週二，通用汽車公佈了第三季度銷量增長約60%的數據。但無論是福特還是通用汽車，仍在落後於現代汽車公司，後者仍是電動車領頭羊特斯拉（納斯達克：TSLA）的遙遠第二位。

在最近的CEO投資者日活動上，現代汽車宣佈了通過擴大混合動力車和電動車產品線來提高盈利能力的計劃。現代汽車公司和起亞公司還剛剛宣佈聯合創辦一家合資公司，通過推出新的製造工藝來發展鋰鐵磷酸鐵（LFP）電池正極材料，以提升未來電動車電池的競爭力。此外，現代汽車還與創新的清潔能源皮卡配件製造商Worksport Ltd（納斯達克：WKSP）合作，推出了由太陽能驅動的SOLIS卡車車廂蓋，其alpha版本本月發佈，以及其離網電源合作伙伴COR便攜式電池發電機。此外，Worksport剛宣佈將其銷售擴展到聯邦政府機構，在爲定期採購提供了其旗艦產品美國製造的AL3車廂蓋後。因此，現代汽車已經確保能夠獲取Worksport提供的尖端解決方案，如SOLIS和COR電源二人組。 Worksport只是衆多遊戲改變性解決方案中的一個例子，無疑將支持現代汽車、福特和通用汽車等傳統汽車製造商在電動車時代迎頭趕上特斯拉，並在未來某個時候有望與其並駕齊驅。
