Hyundai EV Home Charger Installation
Everything you need to know about charging your Hyundai at home.
Owning a Hyundai electric vehicle is a significant step towards eco-friendly driving. To keep your Hyundai EV charged and ready, setting up an efficient home charging system is essential. Home charging provides convenience, lowers costs compared to public charging, and ensures your car is ready to go whenever you need it.
This guide will provide an in-depth overview of charging Hyundai EVs at home and help you choose the best home charging solution for your Hyundai EV.
Understanding Hyundai EV Models and Their Charging Needs
Hyundai offers several electric vehicles representing their most innovative design and technology. The Hyundai Kona, IONIQ 5 N and IONIQ 6 provide consumers options from smaller sedans to performance SUVs. These vehicles provide drivers a range of 221 miles to 342 miles depending on model and trim.
Charging Levels and How To Charge Your Hyundai EV
If you’re considering an EV or a plug-in hybrid, it’s important to understand the various chargers out there and how long each takes to power your vehicle so you can be ready to go at home or on the road. Electric charging is usually broken down into three levels:
- Level 1 Charging: Typically the easiest and most straightforward option when it comes to charging. Level 1 charging leverages a standard 120V household outlet. However, this method also comes at cost in regards to charging speed with most level 1 chargers providing only approximately 2-5 miles of range per hour.
- Level 2 Charging: The most convenient and best way to charger your Hyundai EV. This method leverages a 240V circuit and is ideally hardwired into your electrical system and can charge a Hyundai in roughly 7 hours.
- Level 3 Charging (DC Fast Charging): Typically found in public locations, these chargers can take a Hyundai from 10% to 80% in roughly 20-60 minutes depending on model.

What to Consider When Choosing a Home Charger for Your Hyundai

Connectivity

Charging Speeds
Look for chargers with at least 7.2 kW power output, which matches most Hyundai EVs’ onboard chargers.

Home Chargers for Hyundai Electric Vehicles FAQs
Can you charge Hyundai with a Tesla Supercharger?
Hyundai is actively integrating the North American Charging Standard (NACS) to enhance charging accessibility for its electric vehicle (EV) customers in the United States and Canada. In the fourth quarter of 2024, all-new or refreshed Hyundai EVs in the U.S. came equipped with NACS ports, with Canadian models following in the first half of 2025. To support existing customers, Hyundai will provide free NACS adapters beginning in the first quarter of 2025. Owners or lessees of Hyundai EVs purchased on or before January 31, 2025—including models like the Kona Electric, Ioniq hatchback, Ioniq 5, and Ioniq 6—can request these adapters through the MyHyundai owner portal. This initiative grants Hyundai EV drivers access to over 18,000 Tesla Supercharger stations across North America, significantly expanding their charging options. Notably, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 will be among the first non-Tesla vehicles to feature a factory-installed NACS port, allowing immediate Supercharger access without the need for an adapter.
