A PIVOTAL WIN EV Battery Solutions supplies specialized testing equipment and industry-leading capabilities in battery management, remanufacturing, diagnostics and valuation. It handles repair work for Kia EV6 and EV9 models, Hyundai’ s Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6, and Genesis vehicles at its Atlanta and Las Vegas facilities.
It also restores defective batteries in those same Kia models using high-quality parts from other defective batteries; these refurbished batteries then replace faulty ones in vehicles under warranty. In fact, EV Battery Solutions maintains an inventory of healthy batteries ready for shipment to speed up service turnaround times.

Having this kind of battery repair and refurbishment solution is critical for Hyundai Motor Group and Kia as they make aggressive investments to expand their EV portfolio.“ Simply replacing sick batteries with brand new ones is costly and unsustainable,” said Tara.“ By repairing and refurbishing existing EV batteries we not only keep EVs accessible and affordable, we maintain a positive EV experience for customers.”
FUTURE POTENTIAL The partnership with Hyundai Motor Group includes contracts with Kia, Hyundai, Mobis( for battery storage) and Genesis. It also represents the potential for additional work with Hyundai Motors America, Hyundai Canada, Kia Canada, and hybrid electric vehicle programs for Kia Optimas and Hyundai Sonatas.

Hyundai Motor Group’ s commitment to EVs sets it apart from other manufacturers, and the partnership is shining a light on EV Battery Solutions and its range of capabilities. According to Lea Malloy, vice president of EV Battery Solutions, this announces our leadership in extending the life and protecting the value of EV batteries to their original equipment manufacturers as they too continue to expand their EV portfolios.
“ EV Battery Solutions is partnering with Hyundai Motor Group at a scale no one else can match,” said Lea.“ As EV adoption continues to increase, we are ready and able with an unmatched footprint and a depth of operational and engineering capabilities to serve the needs of our OEM partners. This is what EV leadership looks like.”
