"The 1.2 trillion won ($817 million) facility, called the Future Mobility Battery Campus, is designed to let Hyundai run what it calls continuous process validation, which is essentially more real-world quality and durability testing before the battery packs enter mass production. Hyundai Battery Lab Korea Photo by: Hyundai If the technology proves itself here, it gets the green light to power future Hyundais. If not, the 200,000 square-meter (2.15 million square feet) facility has the equipment to diagnose and fix the battery issues early."
"It will develop next-generation high-performance lithium-ion batteries for EVs and extended-range hybrids across multiple cell formats, while also simulating real manufacturing conditions for electrodes, cell assembly and safety testing. The automaker isn't the only one bringing more battery expertise in-house. More automakers are now taking this approach. Developing their own packs and chemistries gives them tighter control over cost, performance, safety and software integration."
Hyundai is building a 1.2 trillion won ($817 million) Future Mobility Battery Campus in South Korea with completion targeted by end of 2026. The 200,000 square-meter facility will run continuous process validation, providing real-world quality and durability testing and early diagnosis and repair of battery issues. The campus will develop next-generation high-performance lithium-ion batteries for EVs and extended-range hybrids across multiple cell formats while simulating manufacturing conditions for electrodes, cell assembly and safety testing. Automakers increasingly bring battery pack and chemistry development in-house to gain tighter control over cost, performance, safety and software integration.
