Genesis EV free charging in Korea 2026: eligible models, dates and E-pit rules

Genesis has made charging free from September 1 for some buyers of its electric vehicles in South Korea. The program applies to new GV60, GV60 Magma, Electrified GV70 and Electrified G80 vehicles delivered to customers from September 1 through October 31, 2026. Private customers and sole proprietors can take part, while corporate buyers and owners of used vehicles are excluded.

Free charging is available at E-pit stations and at some Hyundai Engineering charging sites, including slow, fast and ultra-fast chargers. Genesis describes the benefit as lasting up to three months, but the program has one fixed end date: November 30.

The actual value therefore depends heavily on when the vehicle is delivered. Someone receiving a car in early September can use the offer for almost three months, while a late-October delivery cuts the free period to roughly one month. The registration process also matters: after adding the vehicle in the E-pit app, the customer must apply for the promotion, and changing the account to Welcome status can take up to seven business days.

Applications are accepted from 3:00 p.m. on September 1 until 6:00 p.m. on October 31. Buying the vehicle alone is not enough; without app registration and enrollment in the promotion, the standard charging tariff continues to apply.

The current offer is noticeably more generous than Hyundai Motor Group’s spring program. In April, new Hyundai, Kia and Genesis EV owners received a discounted E-pit rate of 199 won per 1 kWh. For the four Genesis models covered now, the charging fee is reduced to zero for the promotion period.

The program is limited to the South Korean market and does not itself provide equivalent benefits to Genesis owners in Russia or other countries. For a buyer in Korea, the key point is simple: the later the vehicle is delivered, registered and activated for the offer, the fewer free-charging days remain before November 30.
