Hyundai Motor Company is launching the ‘Charging Now’ travel support campaign to assist customers who need charging during their daily lives.
The ‘Charging Now’ travel support campaign is a unique mobility initiative by Hyundai aimed at providing customers with flexible travel and a convenient electric vehicle charging experience.
Hyundai plans to select a total of 100 teams, offering round-trip airfare to Jeju, accommodation costs, travel insurance, rental of an Ioniq 5, and all associated charging expenses. Priority will be given to vulnerable groups such as individuals with disabilities and pregnant women. (For detailed support information, please refer to the application page.)
Those selected for this campaign will have the chance to experience a convenient and safe electric vehicle charging process through the automatic charging robot (Automatic Charging Robot, ACR) installed at the ‘Jeju Saebil E-pit charging station.’
The automatic charging robot is a robotic arm developed by Hyundai’s robotics lab, designed to reduce the hassle of charging and enhance customer convenience.
Once the driver parks the vehicle in the charging zone, they can use their mobile phone to start the charging process through the campaign app. The robot will then open the charging port cover, remove the rapid charging protective cap, connect the charging connector, and begin charging. Upon completion, the robot will detach the connector, return it, and close the charging port cover, minimizing driver intervention.
Individuals selected for the ‘Charging Now’ travel support campaign will embark on a 2-night, 3-day trip from June 14 (Friday) to July 31 (Wednesday).
Customers wishing to participate in the ‘Charging Now’ travel support campaign can submit their stories and applications via the application page (https://acrtrip.com/) by April 30 (Tuesday).
A Hyundai representative stated, “This campaign is part of the global CSV initiative, Hyundai Continue, aimed at creating shared value. We hope that customers can experience freedom of movement without being constrained by charging requirements.”
