Hyundai Motor Group has launched AllDayEnergy, a global name for the energy services linking its electric vehicles with homes and electricity networks.
Rather than introducing one new piece of hardware, AllDayEnergy gathers the group’s existing Vehicle-to-Everything programmes under a common identity.
The first service will be V1G smart charging, followed later by Vehicle-to-Grid and Vehicle-to-Home functions.
V1G changes when an EV charges according to electricity prices, grid demand and the owner’s preferences.
It remains a one-way process: power goes into the car. V2G allows a compatible EV to send stored electricity back to the grid, while V2H can supply a house or provide emergency backup during an outage.
The UK will receive AllDayEnergy first through the Kia App during the second half of 2026. Hyundai Motor Group plans to extend it to other European markets, the United States and South Korea, with services eventually incorporated into Hyundai and Kia vehicle apps.
The group already operates related projects in several countries.
A V2G pilot is running on South Korea’s Jeju Island. In the United States, the group has used V2H technology to provide emergency household power during incidents including wildfires.
Dutch customers have also been offered smart charging and V2G services linked to changing electricity tariffs.
Hyundai Motor Group vice-president and head of EV energy strategy Woong Tae Hwang said the UK launch would support the group’s move into smart energy services.
The aim is to help owners reduce charging costs, manage household energy use and support electricity networks when local programmes permit it.
An EV could therefore charge when power is cheaper, retain energy for later use or, where V2G is available, return electricity to the network.
Actual functions will vary by market and service type.
