Hyundai Motor Company is introducing a subscription-based charging service aimed at reducing the burden of electric vehicle charging while enhancing customer convenience.
On September 30, Hyundai announced the launch of its 'My Home Charger' subscription service in collaboration with charging service provider Chabi.
Customers who own Hyundai or Genesis electric vehicles and reside in single-family homes or multi-unit dwellings with dedicated parking spaces can utilize the service. Subscribers will receive support for the 7kW home-level slow charger and installation costs.
The minimum monthly subscription includes a commitment to charge at least 300 kWh, with a charging fee of 245 won per kWh, resulting in a monthly cost of approximately 73,500 won without any device or installation fees.
By using the minimum subscription amount for three years, customers can save about 670,000 won compared to using Hyundai's existing home charger product and approximately 1.53 million won compared to using external rapid chargers. At the end of the subscription period, customers will own the electric vehicle charger without any additional return procedures or costs.
To sign up for the service, customers can register on the Chabi app or website and verify their ownership of a Hyundai or Genesis electric vehicle. After a site inspection, the charger will be installed and undergo a safety inspection, allowing for immediate electric vehicle charging.
A Hyundai representative stated, "This will be the most economical charging method available to electric vehicle customers, covering everything from the device to installation and charging for around 70,000 won per month. We expect it to reduce the burden of electric vehicle charging and contribute to the expansion of electric vehicle adoption and charging infrastructure."
Meanwhile, Hyundai is operating various charging services, including the E-pit rapid charging network, charging credits, and home charger support, to enhance the convenience of electric vehicle customers.
