We'll be spending the next few weeks behind the wheel of the 2024 Genesis GV60, and we’ll need all of that time to analyze this newish all-electric pocket SUV from the Korean brand. Here's the third part of our long-term review.We left off our last chapter of this long-term road test in Stanstead, Quebec, a stone's throw from the Vermont border, where I had just charged up the 2024 Genesis GV60. Now we were going to cross the border.
This time, to determine when and where I’d need to recharge next, I dropped the apps and turned to the GV60, the attractive12.3-inch display of which can list nearby charging stations. The list was long, but most of them were Level 2 AC terminals. Too slow for me. I wanted Level 3 DC charging. And without having to go out of my way. It would be stupid to waste km that I couldn’t afford to waste...
Actually, the fault was half-mine. When you plug in the GV60, a pretty voice announces when recharging has started. But if I'd been paying closer attention, I'd have noticed that the Genesis had gone mute when I plugged into that out-of-order terminal. Yet another out-of-order terminal.Now I had to find myself another terminal in this godforsaken parking lot.
By the time I reached my daughter's house, I'd covered 87.6 km in 1h27m, using 17.5 kWh/100 km, and had 35 km of charge left. I still haven't reached my hotel in Wells, 22 km away. Into the night we headed, our GV60 following my son-in-law's Subaru Crosstrek acting as guide and escort. Just in case. Inwardly, I prayed for the reliability of his navigation system, because my battery was starting to run on fumes. So to speak.
For our first stop after Wells, with 123 km of range left, I did as the GV60 told me and stopped at a rapid charger, at Bill Dodge’s place. Now, that’s a funny name when you realize that he runs a Hyundai dealership in Brunswick. Anyways, showing up as we were with a Genesis , I figured maybe they'll roll out the red carpet? Well, almost. Sales advisor Seth Begin welcomed us and offered us bottles of water.
