Hyundai Motor to integrate green energy into Charge myHyundai service in Europe

Green Car Congress

Green energy suppliers generate zero-emission energy using natural resources such as wind or solar power, which is then converted into electric energy. This ensures that, for each charging occasion via Charge myHyundai, the equivalent amount of energy generated is fed back into the grid as green electricity.
