The 2026 Genesis GV60, a premium cousin of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, is one of the latest all-electric cars in the US that’s equipped with a NACS (SAE J3400) charging port (see the full list here).
The model also features a new, higher-capacity battery, so it gets more range on a single charge — more than 300 miles in the entry-level version. Let’s get into the details.

The 2026 Genesis GV60
Battery and Range
The 2026 model year of the Genesis GV60 features an 84-kWh battery, up from 77.4 kWh previously. This battery is used in other E-GMP-based models from the Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis brands.
There are also three powertrain versions: entry-level rear-wheel-drive (RWD), a dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD), and a performance AWD.
The 2026 Genesis GV60 powertrains:
- RWD: 168 kW and 350 Nm
- AWD: 234 kW and 605 Nm
- Performance AWD: 320 kW and 700 Nm
The EPA Combined range for the 2026 Genesis GV60 ranges from 252 to 306 miles (in the 2025 model year, it was 235-294 miles). The 300-mile level has been crossed for the very first time by the entry-level version (RWD).

Energy Consumption
The Genesis GV60 RWD’s total energy consumption (including charging losses) is estimated at 110 MPGe or 306 Wh/mile (3.3 miles per kWh). The AWD version consumes a tenth more energy (15% when additionally equipped with bigger, 20-inch wheels).
The Genesis GV60 Performance AWD needs 22% more energy as it gets about 2.7 miles per kWh:

NACS Charging Port
The 2026 Genesis GV60 has a NACS (SAE J3400) charging port, joining the 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70.
This means that the model can directly access NACS charging points (AC or DC), including Superchargers (Genesis is one of Tesla’s NACS partners since March 2025).
Access to CCS1 DC fast chargers is possible through a CCS1-to-NACS adapter. Similarly, the car can use SAE J1772 AC charging points with an AC adapter (J1772-to-NACS).
AC Charging and Onboard Charger
The 2026 Genesis GV60 family comes standard with a 10.9-kW onboard charger. According to Genesis, a 10-100% SOC charging session can be completed in about 7 hours.
Additionally, an AC charging cable is included as standard, but its power is just about 1 kW (120-volt, 12-amp).
DC Fast Charging
DC fast charging has always been one of the strongest points of Hyundai Motor Group’s E-GMP-based EVs, including the Genesis GV60.
According to specs, the 2026 Genesis GV60 accepts up to 250 kW and can recharge from 10% to 80% state of charge (SOC) in just 18 minutes. However, the chargers must support high-voltage battery systems (Genesis GV60’s battery is 697-volt). At low-voltage chargers (including almost all Tesla Superchargers today, charging power might be lower)
Interestingly, the charging time of 18 minutes is the same as previously for the 77.4-kWh battery, while in the case of the new 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5, it’s 20 minutes.
Assuming the driving range of up to 306 miles and stated 10-80% SOC charging time of 18 minutes, the model averages at an amazing 11.9 miles/minute. It’s really good, especially since one can add 214 miles of range during this time. The AWD version with a lower range gets slightly lower range replenishing rates, but still, 10-11 miles/minute.

Vehicle-to-Load (V2L)
The Genesis GV60 can export power (up to 1.9 kW) using the charge port adapter included with the car. The adapter is for the NACS charging port.
Pricing
The 2026 Genesis GV60 starts at an MSRP of $52,252 ($54,020 including the obligatory $1,495 destination fee). The AWD version costs $3,500 more.
