Hyundai Electric Global Modular Platform

The PE System serves the same function for an electric vehicle as an engine and a transmission for a vehicle powered by a conventional internal combustion engine.{{Cite journal |date=March 30, 2021 |title=Interview with Researchers The Story of EV Technology on E-GMP |url=https://tech.hyundaimotorgroup.com/article/interview-with-researchersthe-story-of-ev-technology-on-e-gmp/ |website=tech.hyundaimotorgroup.com}} The first generation PE system used a discrete traction motor and power inverter electronic module, connected with an orange three-phase cable. In the second-generation PE system, the motor and inverter have been integrated, and cables and connectors have disappeared.

In 2017, Hyundai confirmed reports that it was developing a dedicated platform for electric vehicles; at the time, only a few manufacturers had done so.{{cite news |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hyundai-motor-electric-vehicle-idUSKCN1AX039 |title=Hyundai plans long-range premium electric car in strategic shift |author=Jin, Hyunjoo |date=August 16, 2017 |work=Reuters |access-date=22 December 2021}}{{cite news |url=https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1112165_hyundai-kia-eight-electric-cars-by-2022-dedicated-ev-platform |title=Hyundai-Kia: eight electric cars by 2022, dedicated EV platform | last=Voelcker | first=John |date=August 17, 2017 |work=Green Car Reports |access-date=22 December 2021}} The third-generation PE System consists of a compact, integrated powertrain module, including traction motor, reduction gear transmission, and power inverter.{{cite news |date=March 14, 2021 |title=Electric Vehicle The Crux of Mobility's Sustainable Future |url=https://tech.hyundaimotorgroup.com/electrification/evs/ |newspaper=tech.hyundaimotorgroup.com}} The third-generation PE system is used in the E-GMP platform. Four-wheel drive is provided by placing motors on the front and rear wheels. The integration of the motor-inverter housing lowered the inverter height by about {{cvt|30|mm}}.

The PE System has also been installed into the Hyundai Vision FK concept, an eco-friendly hydrogen electric vehicle. In this vehicle, the PE System has been combined with a hydrogen fuel cell system.{{cite news |date=September 7, 2021 |title=Vision FK, the world's high-performance eco-friendly hydrogen electric vehicle |url=https://tech.hyundaimotorgroup.com/article/vision-fk-the-worlds-first-high-performance-eco-friendly-hydrogen-electric-vehicle/ |newspaper=tech.hyundaimotorgroup.com}}

A standardized battery system can be tuned and implemented as part of the system appropriate for a specific vehicle segment. This system is said to maximize driving range or meet the needs of a customer.{{Cite web |title=Hyundai Motor Group to Lead Charge into Electric Era with Dedicated EV Platform 'E-GMP' |url=https://www.hyundai.com/worldwide/en/company/newsroom/hyundai-motor-group-to-lead-charge-into-electric-era-with-dedicated-ev-platform-%25E2%2580%2598e-gmp%25E2%2580%2599-0000016584 |access-date=2022-03-31 |website=HYUNDAI MOTORS |language=en}}

Kia markets EV3 and EV5 as based on the E-GMP 400 V architecture. Their chassis are derived from the front-wheel-drive Hyundai-Kia K3 and N3 platforms, with body structures redesigned for the battery electric vehicles.

The E-GMP platform is an 800 V architecture with scalable wheelbase length, and supports batteries from multiple manufacturers. The motor, inverter, and transmission are integrated into a single powertrain unit.

Both single motor 2WD (rear axle) and dual motor AWD are supported.{{cite web |last1=Chaouite |first1=Jalil |title=Voitures électriques : la nouvelle plateforme Hyundai et Kia promet plus de 500 km d'autonomie |url=https://www.automobile-magazine.fr/voitures-electriques/article/28502-hyundai-et-kia-donne-des-infos-sur-sa-plate-forme-electrique-e-gmp |website=L’Automobile Magazine |access-date=3 December 2020 |date=2020-12-02 |language=fr}} Hyundai claim the motor is approximately 10% more efficient than a conventional motor due to "hairpin winding technology", allowing the coils to be wound more densely, and more effective cooling.{{cite web |url=https://tech.hyundaimotorgroup.com/kr/article/realizing-new-ev-lifestyles-5-advantages-of-the-e-gmp/ |title=전기차 전용 플랫폼 E-GMP의 5가지 핵심 장점 |trans-title=5 key benefits of the E-GMP electric vehicle platform |lang=ko |date=December 2, 2020 |publisher=Hyundai Motor Group |access-date=13 December 2021 |archive-date=2 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210502195708/https://tech.hyundaimotorgroup.com/kr/article/realizing-new-ev-lifestyles-5-advantages-of-the-e-gmp/ |url-status=dead }}

The transmission reduces the traction motor speed and applies torque to the driven axle. This effectively multiplies torque at the wheel for electric vehicles. In addition, an EV Transmission Disconnector is provided, which allows for the motor and drive axle to be disconnected, which enables free shifting between 2WD (two-wheel drive) and 4WD (four-wheel drive). This is only available for the all-wheel drive system.

The Li-ion batteries are pouch-sized and the battery-pack is designed to be {{cvt|13|cm}} tall. E-GMP vehicles are expected to have a range of at least {{cvt|500|km}} under the WLTP test cycle. Vehicles will support 200 kW fast charging; Hyundai claim an 18-minute charge will restore 80% of capacity (80% SOC of 77.4 kWh in 18 minutes){{cite web|title=Hyundai to lead charge into electric era with EV platform 'E-GMP'|url=https://www.hyundai.news/eu/brand/hyundai-to-lead-charge-into-electric-era-with-ev-platform-e-gmp/|author=Hugo Quintal|date=2 December 2020|publication-date=2 December 2020|access-date=2 December 2020|archive-date=11 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210211200913/https://www.hyundai.news/eu/brand/hyundai-to-lead-charge-into-electric-era-with-ev-platform-e-gmp/|url-status=dead}} and a 5-minute charge will add {{cvt|100|km}} of range when using a high-power (800 V/350 kW) DC fast charging supply. By standardizing the battery type and size, repairs can be carried out more economically by replacing a single module, rather than the entire battery pack. Hyundai claim that power density has increased by 10% with the E-GMP.

Current (as of 2022) DC fast charging infrastructure has a power and voltage of 50–350 kW and 400-920 V. The E-GMP electronics support voltages of both 400 V and 800 V charging systems and offers bi-directional charging (V2L (110/230 V and up to 3.7 kW),{{cite web |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a34836228/hyundai-ev-platform-e-gmp/ |title=Hyundai Unveils EV Platform, Will Have 23 Global Electric Vehicles by 2025 |author=Baldwin, Roberto |date=December 2, 2020 |work=Car and Driver |access-date=13 December 2021}} V2V and V2G).{{cite web |last1=Hampel |first1=Carrie |title=Hyundai presents E-GMP electric car platform |url=https://www.electrive.com/2020/12/02/hyundai-presents-e-gmp-electric-car-platform/ |website=electrive.com |access-date=3 December 2020 |date=2020-12-02}} The platform uses the vehicle's motor/inverter to convert incoming DC current at 400 V to 800 V.{{cite interview |url=https://tech.hyundaimotorgroup.com/article/looking-into-e-gmp-a-balance-of-function-and-sensibility/ |title=Looking into E-GMP: A Balance of Function and Sensibility |date=January 4, 2021 |subject=Choi Woo Suk |publisher=Hyundai Motor Group |access-date=13 December 2021}}

The inverter converts direct current electrical energy stored in the battery to the alternating current power used in the traction motor. The inverter power module comes with silicon carbide ({{chem|Si|C|link=silicon carbide}}) semiconductors. These are proven to be more efficient than existing semiconductors that are only made with Silicon, as one but not limited to the increase of thermal management, where the thermal conductivity of silicon carbide is 1490W/m-K (Watts per meter-Kelvin), compared to the 150 W/m-K offered by Silicon.{{cite news |last=Lovati |first=Stefano |date=March 17, 2021 |title=10 Things to Know About SiC |url=https://www.powerelectronicsnews.com/10-things-to-know-about-sic/#:~:text=This%20is%20another%20area%20where,W%2Fm-K%20offered%20by%20silicon. |newspaper=www.powerelectronicsnews.com}} SiC is used for the rear (main) motor to minimize conversion losses and to facilitate its use in high-voltage and high-current circuits. The front motor, on vehicles so equipped, will use silicon-based power electronics to reduce costs. In 2022, Hyundai announced that it will switch to SiC for the front motor inverter also, improving efficiency and range by approximately 5%.{{cite news |url=https://insideevs.com/news/625768/hyundai-evs-get-better-range-charging-speeds/ |title=Hyundai's E-GMP EVs To Get Better Range And Improved Performance |author=Dnistran, Iulian |date=December 9, 2022 |work=Inside EVs |access-date=9 January 2023}}

The platform supports a wheelbase exceeding {{cvt|3000|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}. E-GMP supports various sizes and configurations of vehicles, including C-segment, E-segment, CUV, sedan, and SUV, including three-row SUVs with seven seats.{{cite web |url=https://tech.hyundaimotorgroup.com/article/executive-interviews-on-e-gmp/ |title=Executive Interviews on E-GMP |date=December 16, 2020 |publisher=Hyundai Motor Group |access-date=13 December 2021}}{{cite web |url=https://tech.hyundaimotorgroup.com/kr/article/inquiry-about-dedicated-ev-platform-e-gmp-of-hyundai-motor-group/ |title=현대차그룹의 글로벌 전기차 전용 플랫폼 E-GMP에 관해 묻다 |lang=ko |trans-title=Answers about Hyundai Motor Group's global EV-only platform E-GMP |date=December 11, 2020 |publisher=Hyundai Motor Group |access-date=13 December 2021}} Albert Biermann stated that "existing [derivative] EVs on ICEV platforms will see some expansions into smaller segments", which was clarified to mean that smaller EVs would continue to use a front-wheel-drive platform.{{cite news |url=https://www.wardsauto.com/powertrain/hyundai-rolls-out-skateboard-ev-platform |title=Hyundai Rolls Out Skateboard-Like EV Platform |author=Blanco, Sebastian |date=December 2, 2020 |work=Wards Auto |quote=It's just too good to give up on [our current lineup of ICE-platform-based electric vehicles such as the Kia Niro EV, Hyundai Kona EV and Ioniq EV], so we will continue with derivative EVs based on our next-generation front-wheel-drive platform and of course they will become even more efficient with better performance. We will follow both ways.}} The rear suspension uses a five-link arrangement. An integrated drive axle is used, in which the drive shaft and wheel bearings are a single unit; this reduces the number of parts and increases rigidity.

The battery is attached to the full-perimeter frame using eight bolts running completely through the battery for strength. The front and rear crumple zones are designed to absorb and dissipate the energy of a potential impact, and high strength steel is used to protect the battery and passenger compartment.
