Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | Genesis G80 Electrified | Kia EV4 |
|---|---|---|
| Compared variant | AWD | Fastback 81.4 kWh |
| Battery (approx.) | ~90 kWh | ~78 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~520 km | ~633 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~184 Wh/km | ~144 Wh/km |
| DC fast charging (published) | up to 240 kW | up to 135 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~22 min | ~33 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 11 kW | up to 11 kW |

Charging Speed
The Genesis G80 Electrified has the higher published DC charging figure at 240 kW, which is roughly 78% higher than the Kia EV4 at 135 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the published fast-charge window, the Genesis G80 Electrified is listed at about 22 minutes, which is 11 minutes quicker than the Kia EV4 at 33 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Kia EV4 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 633 km, which is roughly 113 km more than the Genesis G80 Electrified at approximately 520 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Kia EV4 consumes 144 Wh/km, compared to 184 Wh/km for the Genesis G80 Electrified. That means the Kia EV4 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Kia EV4 has approximately 78 kWh of useable battery , while the Genesis G80 Electrified has approximately 90 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging is your priority, the Genesis G80 Electrified has the higher published DC figure (up to 240 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 22 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Kia EV4 is the more efficient choice at 144 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Kia EV4 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 633 km, which is roughly 113 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
