Electrify America announced yesterday that it has struck a deal with Hyundai to give owners unlimited free charging for two years at the company's charging stations. This applies to charges that take no longer than 30 minutes.
The two years of free charging will begin from the date of purchase of the vehicle and will apply to both purchases and leases.

The 30-minute limit may sound like a limitation, but it's not. Electrify America provides DC fast charging, and with a 350 kWh charger, the IONIC 5 can charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes.
In fact, this is the second such partnership between Electrify America and Hyundai. Earlier in March, they announced 250 kilowatt-hours of free charging for owners of the 2021 Kona Electric and IONIQ Electric models. That's equivalent to about 1,000 miles of free driving.
