Hyundai N EV rapid charging station unveiled at Sydney Motorsport Park

Hyundai’s N EV rapid charging station at Sydney Motorsport Park (SMSP) has been officially opened as part of a five-year partnership.

The EV chargers are available to all SMSP track-goers, no matter the brand of vehicle they drive, says Hyundai.

“We are proud to be the official electric vehicle partner of Sydney’s premier motorsport facility, Sydney Motorsport Park, until 2028,” says Hyundai Motor Company Australia chief executive Don Romano.

“Hyundai has a long history with the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club (ARDC) and SMSP, so we clearly knew they were the ideal partners to give Australia its first race circuit with dedicated EV rapid chargers,” he says.

The N-branded charging station provides a total of four type-2 plugs from the pair of 150kW DC chargers, and are available to all motorsport enthusiasts.

SMSP gives Ioniq 5 N owners, in particular, a top-tier motorsport facility to fully experience the Wheels COTY-winning EV’s performance and talent for making every drive special, from road to racetrack.

Digital LED signage throughout the SMPS complex reinforces a partnership which has included the hosting of media launches, staff product days, World Time Attack and Hyundai’s biggest N Festival.

Ioniq 5 N continues as SMPS official safety vehicle.

“The ARDC is proud to have Hyundai as its electric vehicle partner<’ says ARDC chief executive Glenn Matthews.

“The dynamic Ioniq 5 N safety car and newly branded EV rapid charging station are market leading and highly valued assets to the race circuit,” he says.

“The ARDC has always been ready to actively respond to the evolutionary changes in the automotive and motorsport landscape, and together with Hyundai this partnership will further enhance our recognised credentials as Australia’s home of motorsport.

“The EV chargers are already making an immediate impact in helping to meet the current and future demands of the rapidly growing EV automotive market, industry EV test days, privately owned EVs at track days, as well as supporting the many university Formula SAE teams that use SMSP for tertiary education and R&D.”
