2024 Genesis GV60 Lux review: Is this mind-bending small electric SUV really worth all this money?

EV Central

The charge port door also electrically rises with a gentle tap, while the GV60 can self-park using the smartkey. There’s a household socket under the rear seats (I plugged the Nespresso machine in here), and another on the charge cable, ideal for things like an electric bike.
