Genesis Electrified G80 Concept - Shanghai 2021

This is the Genesis Electrified G80 Concept. The name is weird, let’s hope it changes before the car goes into production. Also, can people stop using the phrase “range anxiety”? It literally applies to every vehicle, no matter the fuel type, and is not exclusive to EVs. Drop it. Seriously! Apologies for the rant.

The Genesis Electrified G80 Concept is quoted as having a range of 500km NEDC, which should work out to somewhere between 200-250 miles EPA. Before you gasp, a range approaching 250 miles coupled with a high DC fast charging speed should make for a capable road trip car. The concept features solar panels built into the roof. I would love it if the solar charging roof made it into production, but don’t expect it to add much more than 1 or so miles per day. The Electrified G80 was joined in Shanghai by the Genesis X Concept, which we covered here for its global reveal. Check it out for yourself below, enjoy!
