Hyundai's luxury brand, Genesis has its first dedicated electric vehicle, due next year - the GV60, and will be one of the first global-market EVs with original-equipment wireless charging.
The hardware claimed to be supplied by WiTricity, will initially only be offered (or enabled) in South Korea. The brand will first incorporate the wireless charging tech on the GV60 as part of a test, or pilot program, in that market in the latter part of next year.
The Hyundai Motor Group has said that the tech could play a convenience role for some vehicles built on the E-GMP dedicated EV platform the GV60 shares with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. According to WiTricity, it's the first time a new battery electric vehicle will be equipped with the technology.
Several entries from China, which has adopted streamlined standards for the tech, could arrive around the same time in early 2022, or narrowly beat the GV60. But none of those models appear bound for the U.S. and Europe like the GV60.
Wireless charging technology has been available as an aftermarket retrofit for years, but it's been a niche product. Such inductive tech uses a magnetic field through two coils to allow the current transfer, charging the EV's battery pack over the course of hours without any physical connection.
Wireless charging has a lot of potential in electric vehicles, as it could potentially allow drivers to charge wherever they go—at shopping centers, for instance, and in snow and winter weather—without having to get out of the car and fuss with a heavy charge cord and connector. A parking tool would simply make sure the car is aligned for the best charge.
