The electric Genesiss, measured differently
Genesis has 3 models that never visit a filling station, averaging 99.5 MPGe. That figure looks four times better than the 21.2 mpg the petrol Genesiss manage, but the two are not the same unit — so we keep them apart and price the electric ones in kilowatt-hours.
| Model | MPGe | kWh / 100 mi | Charging per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genesis GV60 | 31.4 | $641 | |
| Genesis G80 | 34.8 | $710 | |
| Genesis GV70 | 36.4 | $743 |
