What Happened
Hyundai Motor Group today launched AllDayEnergy, a global brand for its Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) energy services. The service integrates smart charging (V1G), vehicle-to-grid (V2G), and vehicle-to-home (V2H) capabilities under a single identity, aiming to offer a consistent customer experience across markets. AllDayEnergy will be available through the vehicle apps of Hyundai Motor and Kia.
The Group has already piloted V2X services in several regions. In Korea, it is testing V2G on Jeju Island. In the U.S., V2H services provide backup power during wildfires. In the Netherlands, smart charging optimizes charging based on dynamic electricity prices. The global rollout of AllDayEnergy begins with V1G smart charging in the UK via the Kia App in the second half of 2026.
- V1G: Adjusts charging timing based on electricity prices, grid conditions, and customer preferences.
- V2G: Returns energy from EV battery to the grid when required.
- V2H: Supports household electricity needs, including backup power during outages.
“The Group will begin rolling out AllDayEnergy in the UK via the Kia App in the second quarter of 2026, with planned expansion to Europe, the U.S., and Korea.”
Why this matters
AllDayEnergy integrates smart charging, vehicle-to-grid, and vehicle-to-home services under one brand, making it easier for EV owners to manage energy and potentially save money. The service initially targets UK customers, with plans to expand to Europe, the US, and Korea, affecting how EV users interact with the grid and their homes.
