Genesis to Open EV Charging Stations at 5 Key Locations

Opening Dedicated Charging Stations and Operating Wireless Charging Service Pilot Project

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Genesis has opened electric vehicle-exclusive charging stations and is operating a pilot project for wireless charging services.

On the 3rd, Genesis announced that it will open charging hubs reflecting the Genesis brand design at five locations: Genesis Gangnam, Genesis Suji, Dongbu High-Tech Center, Nambu High-Tech Center, and Hyundai Motorstudio Goyang. Two ultra-fast chargers will be installed at each hub to enhance convenience for electric vehicle owners.

At the brand hubs in Gangnam and Suji, valet charging services will be provided to Genesis electric vehicle charging customers. At the three locations with Genesis lounges?Dongbu High-Tech Center, Nambu High-Tech Center, and Hyundai Motorstudio Goyang?customers can use the lounges within each hub while charging, offering greater charging convenience.

Additionally, the ‘My Genesis’ application (app) supports functions such as checking charging station locations and usage information, and issuing charging queue tickets, providing differentiated services for Genesis customers.

Before the commercialization of wireless charging services, a pilot project will be conducted to verify business feasibility.

The wireless charger, reflecting Genesis design identity, is a technology that allows electric vehicle charging simply by parking the vehicle over a charging pad installed on the floor. The charging performance is 11kW, and based on the GV60 (77.4kWh), it takes about 8 hours, which is similar in speed to the wired home charger currently supplied to Genesis electric vehicle customers.

Genesis will install one wireless charger each at the electric vehicle charging stations in Gangnam, Suji, and Hyundai Motorstudio Goyang. In addition, at Gangnam and Suji, wireless charging will be demonstrated in conjunction with test drives of the pilot project GV60 equipped with wireless charging functionality.

During the pilot project period, starting from Genesis hubs and through cooperation with various partners, approximately 75 wireless chargers will be expanded and installed. Data will be accumulated to verify the effectiveness of the wireless charging business and to establish an operational system by next year.

A Genesis official stated, “We have started the wireless charging pilot project as part of the electrification transition,” and added, “We will continuously strive to provide differentiated customer experiences aiming to be a luxury brand leading the electrification era.”
