SEOUL, November 4th, 2020 – #Hyundai Motor Group has joined #IONITY, Europe's leading high-power charging network, as a strategic partner and shareholder. Through its participation in this joint venture, #Hyundai Motor Group – including #Hyundai and Kia brands – will drive the expansion of the high-power charging network along Europe's highways, promoting the further adoption of zero-emission mobility.
The #IONITY charging network uses the European CCS (Combined Charging System) charging standard. Since the network uses 100 percent renewable energies, thanks to #IONITY, drivers of electric vehicles are not only able to travel emission-free, but also CO2-neutral. This is an important step when it comes to making electric mobility a success in Europe.
"For #Hyundai and Kia, product and customer experience is closely related to convenience and real benefits. By investing in #IONITY, we are now part of one of the most comprehensive charging infrastructure networks in Europe,” says #thomasschemera, Executive Vice President and Head of Product Division at #Hyundai Motor Group. “We are committed to provide holistic solutions to make it easier than ever for people to make the switch to eco-mobility.”
“With the addition of #Hyundai Motor Group, we welcome aboard a committed partner with international experience in the field of electric mobility,” says #michaelhajesch, CEO of #IONITY. “From today, we will jointly pursue the goal of educating people about e-mobility and promoting innovations in this area in order to make traveling with electric vehicles the new normal, especially on long journeys.”
