The Hyundai Hotel opens in Essex, England to get away from it all and enjoy nature. What makes the location truly special is that all of the electricity that powers the site comes from the vehicle-charging capacity of the Ioniq 5. A competition is underway to give 14 winners the chance to spend a free night.
Two guests stay in a comfortable one-room cabin. White painted wooden planks cover the floor, walls and ceiling. There is a rustic radiator against a wall.

After arriving, visitors can explore the surrounding 200 acres with a mix of farmland, woods, and a stream. The cabin is also close to the 81 mile Essex Way trail. Greensted Church is another place to visit as it is the oldest wooden church in the world.
Back at the cabin, there is a separate bar and restaurant with indoor-outdoor dining space. Journalist and food critic Grace Dent offers a locally sourced three-course menu and matching cocktails.
After enjoying the meal, the evening’s entertainment is a movie with power for the projector and speakers from the Ioniq 5. There’s even a popcorn machine.
“I hope this three-week pop-up hotel is just the beginning of this hip car concept and fueling a luxury experience like this. I predict that guests will hope his incredible hotel and the complete experience that ‘He offer could be back in 2023,’ Dent said.
The Ioniq 5’s vehicle-to-load system provides up to 3.6 kilowatts or 15 amps of alternating current at 230 volts and 50 hertz. An adapter allows normal UK devices to be plugged in.
Vehicle-to-charge capability is becoming more common for electric vehicles and even some hybrid vehicles. For example, the F-150 Hybrid comes with a 2.4 kW generator, and buyers can upgrade to a 7.2 kW unit. The F-150 Lightning even offers a 9.6 kW version.
