Genesis Motor America has teamed up with Electrify America to provide a complimentary fast-charging package for the latest addition to their fleet, the 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 model. This premium, all-electric SUV, which is now in production in Alabama, will come with three years of 30-minute complimentary charging sessions for first owners in the United States at Electrify America charging stations.
This perk matches the ones offered for the Genesis GV60 and Genesis Electrified G80 models. It means that every electric Genesis model currently offered can fast charge for free at Electrify America chargers. The electric GV70 starts at an MSRP of $65,850 and is eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit, bringing the effective price to just under $60,000.

The EPA combined range of this model is 236 miles (380 km), using a 77.4-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery.
