Genesis announces Electrified G80 sedan pricing and availability

Hyundai and therefore the Genesis division have been making EVs or battery-electric vehicles for sometime. Some of their offerings are on dedicated Ev platforms like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Kia EV6 and their GV60 sibling. But others take an existing model like the Kia Niro and Soul and convert the existing platcore for EV duty. Since there is a G80 with an ICE engine, the Electrified G80 seems to fall into the latter category. But many automakers develop platforms for double duty allowing for better efficiency in EV guise. The Electrified G80 is a large(ish) sedan that enters the luxury EV sedan market against various Mercedes, Audi, and BMW models not to mention the Tesla Model S. Despite the garish grille (a little gloss black paint never hurt anyone), the E G80 is an attractive conveyance that is only available in one configuration with all the goodies for the price of $79,825 (plus taxes, license, fees, and destination). Three years of free charging (30 minutes a day) at Electrify America is also part of the deal. The E G80's 87.2kWh battery is capable of Rapid Charging from 10-80% in 22 minutes when utilizing 350kW (800V) DC fast charging when available.

If you like the styling and you're looking for a new EV sedan Genesis has given you another choice...which is a good thing. Hyundai knows how to build EVs so the Electrified G80 should be on any EV shopper's list as long as the live in California, New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, and in Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Washington within days of this post.

Charging rate and time estimate varies based on several factors, including current battery charge level, output of the charging unit, vehicle and battery settings and outside temperature.
