Genesis’ electric vehicle JW (project name) was seen in South Korea last month
Genesis brand ( a Hyundai subsidiary) is attempting to become
the first in the global electric vehicle industry to incorporate wireless
charging capability into its electric cars that will be launched in 2021.
This capability helps the charger to
recognize the electric car and assists the car with parking and charging at the
same time.
Genesis is incorporating P&C technology into its first
electric vehicles “eG80” and “JW (project name)” that will be launched in 2021.
P&C technology is a technology that is able to verify the user and have
payments made automatically just by plugging in a charging cable from either a fast
or superfast charging station. It removes the complicated procedure of using a
credit card or a corresponding card in order to go through an authentication
process. It also supports “car pay”.
Also, the company plans to provide the industry’s first
wireless charging technology as an option. This technology was developed along
with WiTricity that is a leader when it comes to wireless charging of electric
vehicles.
Considering the current level of this
technology, the technology will be able to provide a speed of 6 to 8 kWh.
Because wireless charging requires a
separate construction at the charging station, it is only offered as an option for
upper trims. However, because standardization of wireless charging is currently
taking place in Europe and the United States, it is expected that the
technology will only be available locally starting from the second half of 2021.
Genesis is also working on home chargers specifically for its
electric vehicles. It plans to develop 7 kW and 11 kW chargers, and they are
expected to be applied to the company’s unconventional design.
“Wireless charging, P&C, and exclusive home chargers will
be at the core of Genesis’ strategy in targeting the global electric vehicle
market.” said one industry official. “Because the company’s goal is to target
the global market, it is focusing heavily on raising the level of competition of
its products and technologies.”
Regarding these new technologies, Genesis plans to introduce “eG80” and “JW” in the second
quarter of 2021 and launch them in order by the end of 2021. JW particularly is
based on Hyundai Motor Group’s first electric vehicle platform “E-GMP”. It is
expected to provide optimal driving performance and have a shockingly large
interior space that has never been seen before in gasoline cars.
Genesis’ image as a leader in
electrification will be vastly improved when the company’s electric vehicles
with P&C technology are launched in 2021.
Hyundai Motor Group stated that it
cannot disclose any detailed technology or feature of its new electric vehicles
that have yet to be released in advance.
Hyundai Motor Group is attempting
innovative technologies that even Tesla has yet to attempt through the Genesis
brand.
Although some automotive
manufacturers such as Porsche are conducting pilot tests on this technology in
the United States, they have yet to reach a level of commercialization.
