Hyundai launches charging service in Europe

By RIZAL JOHAN | 6 October 2020


PETALING JAYA: Hyundai Motor has launched Charge myHyundai – a pan-European integrated public charging service for the brand’s BEV (battery electric vehicle) and PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) owners .

They will have access to the largest charging network in Europe and enjoy a streamlined one-payment solution via a single card or an app. The service offers attractive tariffs for all customers, designed to fit their individual charging preferences.

In partnership with Digital Charging Solutions (DCS), Charge myHyundai gives Hyundai drivers access to around 160,000 charge points across Europe, including AC and DC connectors.

By signing up to Charge myHyundai, users will have access to charge points from all the main operators via a single platform, which makes charging simpler and easier to use.

Thanks to eRoaming, customers can charge their vehicles across Europe without the need for additional contracts with other providers, as payments are made via a single monthly invoice.

"With the introduction of Charge myHyundai, we are providing Hyundai BEV and PHEV customers with a comprehensive electric car charging service that combines eRoaming with a simplified payment solution.

"Owners of our electric models, such as the Ioniq Electric and Kona Electric, will particularly benefit from access to Europe’s largest charging network. This demonstrates how we continue to care for our customers, even after the point of purchase," said Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, Vice President Marketing & Product at Hyundai Motor Europe.

Charge myHyundai will be introduced in six European markets in September and October: France, Italy, Spain, Norway, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.

The service will be activated for UK customers in the fourth quarter of 2020. Hyundai plans to extend the service to customers in more countries in the near future.

DCS is also partnering with Hyundai Motor Group’s other automotive brand Kia Motors Europe, which will launch a similar pan-European integrated public charging service at the same time.
