Hyundai and Genesis Canada Roll Out Unified In-App Charging Solution

Streamlining public charging access for Canadian retail buyers and commercial fleet managers, Hyundai Auto Canada and Genesis Canada have introduced integrated in-app charging functionality across their connected vehicle platforms, MyHyundai with Bluelink and the Genesis Intelligent Assistant app. The system update allows electric vehicle operators to locate station hardware, initiate charging sessions, and process digital payments within a single native mobile interface.

Engineered through an operational partnership with ChargePoint, the consolidated platform provides cross-network interoperability across major North American charging networks, including Circuit Électrique, FLO, ChargePoint, and Tesla. For Canadian auto dealers and fleet procurement officers navigating EV transitions, consolidating session tracking and payment administration resolves a significant operational hurdle associated with managing multiple third-party charging accounts.

To complement the software deployment, both brands have launched their complimentary NACS (North American Charging Standard) adapter program for CCS-equipped models delivered prior to December 31, 2025. Eligible Hyundai platforms include the 2019-2021 IONIQ EV, 2019-2026 Kona Electric, 2022-2025 IONIQ 5, and 2023-2025 IONIQ 6, alongside Genesis GV60, Electrified G80, and Electrified GV70 models. Owners can claim their complimentary NACS hardware at local dealerships upon completing an "EV Special Care" service inspection and registering for in-app charging.

"Integrating charging networks across North America directly within our connected apps enables users to easily locate and initiate charging sessions wherever their adventure takes them," stated Jeff Hewitt, Director of Connected Digital Experience at Hyundai Auto Canada and Genesis Canada, noting that the combined hardware and software strategy expands overall fast-charging network access for Canadian operators.
