    Hyundai Hops Aboard the EV Train

      Maybe Hydrogen isn't the future

    Hyundai had a put a lot of confidence into hydrogen being the future power source for vehicles. But much like Toyota, the Korean automaker is realizing that electrics are the way of the future and they might want to jump on the bandwagon soon.

    Today at a press conference in Seoul, Hyundai announced that it would be placing electric vehicles front and center with plans to launch several long-range EVs in the coming years. This includes an electric version of the Kona early next year and an electric sedan for Genesis in 2021 that is expected to have a range of 310 miles. Hyundai also confirmed a report by Reuters saying the company is working on a dedicated EV platform.

    "We're strengthening our eco-friendly car strategy, centering on electric vehicles," said Hyundai Executive Vice President Lee Kwang-guk.

    Hyundai isn't fully giving up on hydrogen. The automaker showed a concept version of its new fuel cell SUV that will replace the Tucson Hydrogen. Hyundai says the model can go 360 miles on one tank of hydrogen. It will launch in Korea next year, with the U.S. and Europe following sometime after.

    Well, I'm trying to talk Albert into a plug-in for his next vehicle, but so few of them come in AWD. Those that do have pathetic EV only ranges and are extremely expensive. I think we're at a tipping point for Plug-In and we're going to see a whole bunch of them hit the market or be announced in the next 18 months.   It was the Pacifica Plug-In that convinced me of the virtues of the technology. The amount of pull the Pacifica has under hard acceleration is joyfully inappropriate for a mini-van.   The fact that it can get 84 MPGe is the cherry on top..... it actually has me considering one, but Albert won't allow it. 

    *sigh* No wagons, no minivan, no manual transmission, no coupes as daily drivers, no RWD..... it might be time for a new boyfriend.

      I randomly think of and daydream about New York City, with its 5 boroughs and abutting areas, often.

      Ding - ding - ding I've been to Hot Springs, Arkansas.  What a cool place with an interesting history, complete with gangsters.  There's a scenic viewpoint you can drive up to for a view over the town as well as that other tower in the town you can go to the top of for a 360 degree view for a little bit of coin. It was on a Missouri trip that looped into and out of STL during the pandemic and fall colors.  I wasn't expecting Arkansas to be as beautiful as it is.  I came into its NW border from south of Branson, MO.  Eureka Springs was a cool hippie-dippy town with the usual coffeehouses and gift shops.  It's the location of the nondenominational architecturally unique Throrncrown Chapel. Stunning places and views at Mount Magazine State Park as well as a precipice you have to drive down a graded dirt road to get to its parking lot:  Hawksbill Crag.  I was going to turn back, but I'm glad I went ahead with it. Very nice photo of you two!

      Quick Mopar photo, 1970 Roadrunner.    Faculty Jazz concert at the university where I work.    Lastly, spinning vinyl on my Linn turntable. Thanks for letting me share photos of what I have been up to!   Ohhh, and Road tripping with this gang, the debate team I coach. Awkwardly getting ready to have a photo taken after a tournament, Detroit.
