Hyundai IONIQ 3 named one of seven finalists for European Car of the Year 2027
By Eve
Hyundai Motor's all-electric IONIQ 3 has been shortlisted by an independent jury of European automotive journalists, with the winner due to be announced on 8 January 2027 at the Brussels Motor Show. The compact hatchback is designed in Europe, built at Hyundai Motor Türkiye's İzmit plant, and offers up to 497 km of WLTP range in the Long Range version. It starts below €30,000 across European markets, and Hyundai says orders already exceed its initial expectations.
Why it matters
A sub-€30,000 EV with nearly 500 km of WLTP range points to a wider base of mainstream European drivers, many of them first-time EV owners, who will need public and home charging. CPOs and site developers should factor this likely growth in demand into planning for locations serving everyday compact car users.

Hyundai commits $450M to Alabama plant for new engines, EREV technology and next Tucson and Santa Fe
Hyundai is investing roughly $450 million at its Alabama plant (HMMA) for new engine production, advanced extended range EV (EREV) technology, and preparation to build upcoming versions of the Tucson and Santa Fe SUVs. Production of the all-new Tucson in Alabama is slated to start before the end of 2026, followed by the refreshed Santa Fe, and Hyundai has promised more than 600 miles of range from a two-motor EREV system. The latest spend takes total investment in HMMA to nearly $2.2 billion since 2005, and follows record third quarter US sales of 246,896 units, with Tucson up 32% and Santa Fe up 21% year-over-year.
Why it matters
Hyundai is putting US manufacturing money into hybrid and EREV powertrains rather than only battery EVs, a signal that part of its US volume will rely on charging less often than a pure EV fleet. CPOs and charging suppliers should factor in a slower or more varied plug-in mix when forecasting demand for sites and hardware.
Camouflaged Toyota Corolla Cross, thought to be an EV, spotted on the road ahead of an expected 2027 debut
Electrek reports that a disguised prototype believed to be an electric Toyota Corolla Cross was seen driving near the automaker's European headquarters and research centre, with the images first published by China's Autohome. Electrek says the next Corolla generation will be the first to use Toyota's new multipathway platform, which is meant to support electric, hybrid, petrol and other powertrains, and that an electric version could have one or two motors and a range of at least 250 miles. Toyota has not confirmed battery or powertrain details or a US sales plan, while Nikkei reports production of the new generation is planned for 2028 through the FAW Toyota Motor joint venture in China.
Why it matters
A battery electric Corolla on a multipathway platform would put a very high volume nameplate into the EV market from around 2027, which could widen the base of mainstream drivers needing public and home charging. Details on battery size, charging speed and regional availability remain unconfirmed, so CPOs and procurement teams should treat any demand planning as provisional.
Rolls-Royce Spectre Series II for 2027 moves to NACS charging port in North America
Rolls-Royce has introduced the 2027 Spectre Series II, an update to the electric coupe first launched in 2022. According to EV Charging News Blog, it offers higher battery capacity, more driving range, faster charging and more power than the 2024 to 2026 model years, and North American cars switch from CCS1 to the NACS port. The input gives no specific figures for range, capacity or charging speed.
Why it matters
Another premium marque adopting NACS in North America adds to the shift away from CCS1, so CPOs and site developers should weigh native NACS connectors, or adapter support, in their charger specifications. Faster charging on ultra-premium vehicles also raises expectations for reliable high-power sites serving affluent drivers.
