Whether you're commuting down the 401 toward Toronto or taking a weekend trip up to cottage country, driving a Hyundai electric vehicle (EV) is all about smooth, quiet performance. But if we're being honest, one part of the EV experience has felt a bit clunky until now: public charging apps.
If you’ve spent any time at public chargers around Durham Region, you know the drill. You pull up to a station, open your phone, and realize you need to download yet another app, enter your credit card, and set up a brand-new account just to plug in.
Here at Ajax Hyundai, we’re excited to share that those days are officially behind us. Hyundai Canada has rolled out a major update to the MyHyundai with Bluelink® app, adding integrated In-App Charging.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s changed, how it works, and why it makes driving your IONIQ or Kona Electric easier than ever.
What’s Changed? In-App Charging Explained
Instead of juggling five different charging apps on your phone, your MyHyundai with Bluelink app now serves as your all-in-one command centre for public charging across North America.
By linking an existing ChargePoint account (or setting one up directly inside the app), you get direct access to major charging networks across Canada and the US, including:
- FLO
- Circuit Électrique
- ChargePoint
- Tesla Superchargers (for supported models)
How It Works for You on the Road
- Find & Route in Seconds: Need to top up near the Ajax GO Station or plan a charge near Pickering Town Centre? Use the app map to search compatible chargers, filter by real-time availability, and send directions straight to your Hyundai's touchscreen navigation.
- One-Tap Charging: Forget tapping separate physical cards or opening third-party apps. Just tap to start your charging session directly inside MyHyundai.
- Track Charge Stats Live: Monitor your battery level, current charging speed, and estimated time to full charge from your phone—or even your smartwatch—while you grab a coffee.
- Consolidated Payments: Everything runs securely through Hyundai Pay, keeping your charging receipts and billing organized in one central place.
Plus: Don't Forget Your Complimentary NACS Adapter!
To make public charging even more accessible, Hyundai Canada is offering a complimentary NACS (North American Charging Standard) adapter program for eligible CCS-equipped Hyundai EVs delivered before December 31, 2025.
If you drive any of the following models, you may be eligible to receive a free adapter while supplies last:
How to claim yours: Simply drop by our service center here at 170 Westney Road South for a quick, complimentary "EV Special Care" check-up, and make sure you’re enrolled in the updated MyHyundai app. Our team will handle the rest!
Beyond Charging: What Else Can Hyundai Bluelink® Do?
In-App Charging is just the latest upgrade to Hyundai Bluelink®—the connected vehicle platform that comes built into your modern Hyundai at no extra cost.
If you haven’t explored Bluelink in a while, here’s a quick refresher on how it makes everyday driving around Ajax a lot more comfortable:
- Winter-Ready Remote Start: On those freezing January mornings in Ontario, use the app to start your engine, warm up the cabin, turn on heated seats, and melt windshield frost before you even step outside.
- Smart EV Scheduling: Program your Hyundai to charge automatically during off-peak electricity hours overnight, saving money on your utility bill. You can also cap daily charge limits to 80% to preserve long-term battery health.
- Vehicle Health & Alerts: Run instant diagnostic scans right from your phone. If a check engine light ever pops up, you can review the report and book a service appointment at Ajax Hyundai directly through the app.
- "Find My Car": Dropped a pin at a crowded parking lot or concert venue? Bluelink guides you straight back to your vehicle.
- 24/7 Safety: Get peace of mind with Automatic Collision Notification (which can call for emergency help if airbags deploy) and integrated Roadside Assistance at the press of a button on your rearview mirror.
