SEOUL -- Hyundai Motor Group will make built-to-order electric vehicles for commercial customers, taking advantage of the greater design flexibility they offer compared with traditional combustion-engine autos.
Hyundai affiliate Kia recently announced a standard platform for the group's electrics, with basic components including a battery pack and a motor. Customers will be able to build as they choose on top of this platform, customizing the frame, interior, cargo space and other elements. Other options, such as higher-capacity batteries for long-range driving, will likely be available as well.
