Hyundai & Genesis Ionna Discount: 20% Off Charging Through Sept 30, 2026

The short version

If you own an eligible Hyundai or Genesis EV, you get 10% off every Ionna fast-charging session, ongoing — and an extra 10% bonus through September 30, 2026, for 20% off right now. That drops Ionna's $0.39/kWh to $0.31/kWh during the bonus ($0.35/kWh after it). On a 1,000-mile road trip in a Hyundai IONIQ 5, the en-route charging you buy at Ionna falls from about $79.97 to $63.98 — and there is nothing to sign up for beyond charging through the app.

How much you save, by model

The discount is a straight percentage off whatever the session would cost, so the dollar saving scales with your battery. A 10-80% charge at Ionna, for the largest-battery trim of each eligible family:

Every eligible trim — 16 vehicle profiles in all — has its own page with the full cost breakdown. The saving per charge looks small, but it repeats at every stop: on a long trip that stops four or five times, it adds up quickly, and it stacks on top of the fact that Ionna is already one of the cheaper national networks.

Which vehicles qualify

Hyundai Motor America enabled the discount for these models. More are expected as in-app charging rolls out to the rest of the lineup.

• Hyundai IONIQ 5 — 2022 and newer (all trims, including SE, SEL, Limited, XRT)
• Hyundai IONIQ 5 N — 2025 and newer
• Hyundai IONIQ 9 — 2026 and newer
• Hyundai Kona Electric — 2025 and newer
• Genesis GV60 and Electrified GV70 — 2026 and newer

Notable omission: the IONIQ 6 is not on the list as of launch, and neither is the earlier Kona Electric (2024 and older) or the Electrified G80. If your car isn't covered yet, it may be added later as Hyundai expands in-app charging.

How to actually get the discount

This is the part that trips people up: the discount only applies through the app. You have to start the session with Hyundai In-App Charging or Plug & Charge in the MyHyundai with Bluelink app (the Genesis app for Genesis vehicles). If you tap a credit card at the stall, you pay full price — no discount.

1. Set up Plug & Charge or a payment method in the MyHyundai (or Genesis) app.
2. Pull up to any Ionna “Rechargery” station.
3. Start the session from the app, or just plug in if Plug & Charge is enabled.
4. The 10% (or 20% through Sept 30) is applied automatically to that session.

The September 30 deadline

The base 10% is described as ongoing. The extra 10% bonus — the half that makes it 20% — runs only through September 30, 2026. After that it reverts to 10%. If you have a road trip in range of Ionna stations before then, that is the window where the discount is at its biggest.

Is Ionna worth going out of your way for?

At $0.31/kWh with the current discount, an eligible Hyundai charges at Ionna for less than almost every national network's standard rate — below Electrify America, EVgo, ChargePoint and Shell Recharge, and competitive with the cheapest regional and automaker networks. See the full network price comparison and the Ionna network page. Ionna's footprint is still growing, so it won't be on every route yet — but where it is, the discounted price is hard to beat.
