LIVESTREAM: GENESIS GV60 PERFORMANCE CHARGING & RANGE TESTS

EV Channels Review

The Genesis GV60 Performance is put through its paces in this livestream, focusing on charging and range tests. The reviewer highlights the car's striking appearance in person, contrasting it with its less flattering press photos. Initial charging attempts at an Electrify America station were hampered by multiple non-functional chargers, forcing a relocation. The vehicle's charging speed, even on a 150kW charger, is noted as impressive, reaching up to 172kW initially. During the highway range test, the GV60 Performance, despite its premium feel, is described as not quite reaching true luxury status, with some materials feeling like plastic. The reviewer also points out the absence of Highway Drive Assist 2 (HDA2), which is present in its platform siblings like the Ioniq 5 and EV6 GT, limiting its autonomous driving capabilities. The fake engine noise is noted but deemed less annoying than others. The car's efficiency is generally good, though the reviewer expresses concern about dropping below 90% state of charge before reaching the Wyoming border, potentially impacting the overall range test results. The reviewer also touches on the car's AWD system, noting the dual 160kW motors and the electronic limited-slip differential.
