The 2023 Genesis Electrified G80 is the latest all-electric car model to hit the market. This South Korean luxury sedan is available in only one version, with an 87.2-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery and 272 kW dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain. The EPA combined range for the G80 is 282 miles (454 km), and it has a fast charging capability from 10-80 percent of state-of-charge (SOC) in 22 minutes. In terms of energy efficiency, the G80 is rated at 97 MPGe, which is about 347 watt-hours per mile (Wh/mi), including charging losses. The base price for the G80 is $81,000 without any options (including the destination charge). Unfortunately, there is no $7,500 federal tax credit due to the fact that the G80 is imported from South Korea and its price exceeds the $55,000 cap for cars.
The G80 has some impressive specs, including a 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) acceleration time of 4.9 seconds (based on results from Genesis R&D Center testing in sport mode). It also has a Vehicle to Load (V2L) capability of up to 3.6 kW and a Disconnector Actuator System (DAS) that can connect or disconnect motor and drive shaft based on different driving conditions. This allows the vehicle to switch between RWD and AWD to reduce unnecessary power loss and increase efficiency.
Overall, the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80 looks like a great option for those looking for an all-electric car. It has a good range, fast charging capability, and impressive specs. The only downside is that it doesn’t qualify for the federal tax credit due to its price.
