Hyundai Motor America announced the availability of a pair of new charging features that simplify and improve the public charging experience for a wide range of newer Hyundai electric vehicles. Along with the Hyundai Home marketplace, these intuitive public charging features give owners increased flexibility and new options to control their charging experience.

Users can now find and pay for charging within the MyHyundai with Bluelink app. Customers of eligible vehicles no longer need to juggle third-party charging network apps or use a physical credit card with most charging networks across the United States. Within the app, users can locate, navigate to, select, and activate charging stations, as well as monitor their charging sessions. They also have the capability to conveniently add a credit card via Hyundai Pay allowing them to complete payments seamlessly. This new feature set will also provide dynamic EV trip planning with charger routing, available within both the MyHyundai with Bluelink app and the vehicle’s infotainment screen. In addition, drivers can find a charger in the app and send it directly to their Hyundai’s infotainment screen.

Vehicles now compatible with In-App-Charging are the 2025 IONIQ 5, 2026 IONIQ 9 and future IONIQ and electric models. Available charging networks include IONNA, Tesla Supercharger, ChargePoint (including roaming partners), and EVgo.

With plug and charge technology, owners of select Hyundai EVs can automatically pay for charging just by plugging in at participating public charging network stations, eliminating the need to use smartphones or physical credit cards. Initially, this new plug and charge feature is available at IONNA, Tesla Supercharger, and select ChargePoint stations. To get started, all customers need to do is activate in-app-charging and set up their vehicle’s plug and charge capability inside their MyHyundai with Bluelink app. After the plug and charge feature is turned on, participating stations will be able to communicate with the customer’s Hyundai electric vehicle to automatically initiate the charging session and bill the owner accordingly.

In the future, in-app-charging availability and plug and charge will be expanded to additional Hyundai EV models. More public charging networks will also be added to these technologies.
