Hyundai and Genesis electric vehicle owners in the United States are now eligible for a significant discount on fast charging at IONNA stations. The new offer provides a total of 20% off charging costs for eligible models, with the discount applied automatically at the charger.
Details of the Charging Discount
Hyundai Motor America, as a founding member of the IONNA joint venture, is offering Hyundai and Genesis EV drivers a 10% discount at IONNA fast charging stations across the US. In addition, Hyundai is providing an extra 10% discount, bringing the total savings to 20% for eligible owners until September 30, 2026.
The discount is applied automatically at the charger for qualifying vehicles, with no need for drivers to enter codes or take extra steps. To access the savings, owners must use the Hyundai In‑App Charging or Plug&Charge functionality via the MyHyundai with Bluelink app.
Eligible Models
The 20% discount is available to owners of the following models: Hyundai IONIQ 5 (2022 model year and newer), Hyundai IONIQ 5 N (2025 and newer), Hyundai IONIQ 9 (2026 and newer), Hyundai KONA Electric (2025 and newer), Genesis GV60 (2026 and newer), and Genesis Electrified GV70 (2026 and newer).
Competitor Comparison
While Hyundai and Genesis are offering a 20% discount at IONNA stations, other major EV brands in the US, such as Tesla, Ford, and GM, have not announced similar nationwide fast charging discounts for their owners. This move may give Hyundai and Genesis an edge in reducing charging costs for their customers.
Historical Context
Hyundai’s global vehicle sales reached 811,228 units in 2024, representing a 2% decrease year-over-year. However, the company saw increased sales for the third consecutive year in 2025, reflecting ongoing momentum in its electrification strategy.
Why this matters
Reducing the cost of public fast charging addresses a key concern for EV owners and can help make electric vehicles more attractive to new buyers. By offering automatic discounts, Hyundai and Genesis are working to simplify the charging experience and build trust in the EV ecosystem.
As public charging infrastructure expands, initiatives like this may encourage more drivers to consider switching from gasoline to electric vehicles.
What this means for buyers
Current and prospective Hyundai and Genesis EV owners can benefit from lower charging costs at IONNA stations through September 30, 2026. Buyers considering an EV from these brands should factor in the potential savings on public charging when comparing options.
To take advantage of the discount, ensure your vehicle is an eligible model and that you use the MyHyundai with Bluelink app for charging.
