How do Genesis Canada test drives work?

Where can drivers find official Genesis Experience Centres?
Genesis Canada's authorized locations are called Genesis distributors. Use the Locate a Distributor tool on Genesis Canada's website to find current, verified locations. This site does not publish addresses.
Driving and charging
How does electric charging work?
EVs can charge from a standard household outlet (Level 1, slowest), a 240 V home or public charger (Level 2, the everyday option) or a public DC fast charger (quickest, best for trips). Actual times depend on the vehicle, the charger, battery temperature and how full the battery is.
What should Canadian drivers know about winter driving?
Fit winter tires, keep an emergency kit in the car, clear snow from lights and sensors, wash off road salt regularly and reduce speed for conditions. EV drivers should expect less range in deep cold and precondition while plugged in. See the Toronto Driving Guide.
