Which Hyundai electric model was the first to use its E-GMP platform?

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 was the first Hyundai electric model to use the E-GMP platform.

Hyundai Motor Group developed E-GMP, or Electric-Global Modular Platform, as a dedicated architecture for battery-electric vehicles rather than adapting a gasoline-car platform. The Ioniq 5, launched in 2021, was its first production model and also the first vehicle sold under Hyundai's Ioniq electric-vehicle sub-brand.

E-GMP gives the Ioniq 5 an 800-volt electrical system, allowing rapid DC charging. Under ideal conditions, Hyundai says a 350 kW charger can replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in about 18 minutes. The platform also supports rear- and all-wheel drive, a flat floor and a long wheelbase that creates unusually generous interior space for the car's exterior dimensions.

The Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 are also E-GMP vehicles, but they followed the Ioniq 5. The Ioniq 6 came later as a streamlined electric sedan, making it another common mix-up rather than the platform's first Hyundai application.
