Charge speeds
Across the Hyundai range.
Every Hyundai here uses a Type 2 inlet, so one Type 2 to Type 2 cable fits the range. On-board AC charging ranges from about 3.3kW to 11kW depending on the model. A cable never charges faster than your car's on-board charger or your home supply allows, so on a standard single-phase UK home a 7.4 kW cable gives the full speed available.
Speeds are on-board AC limits. Rapid DC uses the station's own cable.

Charging guide
Charging
your Hyundai.
Hyundai's electrified line-up spans a wide range of models, from the compact Inster and Kona Electric through the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Ioniq 9, and the older Ioniq Electric, plus plug-in hybrids including the Ioniq PHEV, Santa Fe PHEV, and Tucson PHEV. Every Hyundai uses a Type 2 inlet, so they all take the same Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging, with no exceptions in the current range.
Where the models differ is in how fast they charge on AC, which ranges from around 3.3kW on the older PHEVs up to 11kW on the newest BEVs. That difference is what determines whether a 7.4kW cable covers your needs or whether a three-phase option is worth considering. Pick your model below for its exact recommendation and charge times, or read the guidance underneath.
What charging cable does a Hyundai need?
Every Hyundai EV and plug-in hybrid uses a Type 2 inlet, so the cable you need is a Type 2 to Type 2. A 5m cable suits most home driveways and wallboxes; choose 7m or 10m for on-street parking or where the charge point sits a long way from the car. No Hyundai requires a Type 1 cable.
The Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Ioniq 9, Ioniq 3, Kona Electric (newer generation), and Inster all have an 11kW three-phase onboard charger. Almost all UK homes are single-phase, capping home charging at 7.4kW regardless of the cable. A 7.4kW cable already delivers the full speed a standard home supply can provide. A 22kW cable is only worth buying if you have a three-phase supply or regularly stop at 22kW public AC points, where those cars will draw their full 11kW.
The older Ioniq Electric charges at around 7.2kW on a single phase, so a 7.4kW cable is the right match there too. The plug-in hybrids, including the Ioniq PHEV, Santa Fe PHEV, and Tucson PHEV, charge at between 3.3kW and 7.2kW on AC, well within what a standard 7.4kW cable provides. In short, a single 5m 7.4kW Type 2 cable covers the entire Hyundai range.

Contact usDo all Hyundais use a Type 2 charging cable?+−
Yes. Every Hyundai EV and plug-in hybrid, from the Inster and Kona Electric to the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, and the PHEV models, uses a Type 2 inlet. They all take the same Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging, and no Hyundai needs a Type 1 cable.
What charging cable does a Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Ioniq 6 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, 5m for most home setups. Both have an 11kW three-phase onboard charger, but on a standard single-phase home supply they charge at 7.4kW. A 7.4kW cable gives the full home speed; only consider a 22kW cable if you regularly use three-phase public AC points.
Can a Hyundai charge at 22kW on AC?+−
No Hyundai charges at 22kW on AC. The Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, and several other BEVs top out at 11kW on a three-phase supply. On a typical single-phase home wallbox every Hyundai charges at 7.4kW or less, so a 7.4kW cable is sufficient for home use.
What cable does a Hyundai Tucson PHEV or Santa Fe PHEV need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The Tucson PHEV charges at up to 7.2kW on AC and the Santa Fe PHEV at around 3.3 to 3.5kW, so a standard 7.4kW cable is more than adequate for both. Their smaller batteries also charge overnight from a granny charger if needed.
What length cable do I need for my Hyundai?+−
5m covers most home wallboxes and public charge points. Choose 7m or 10m if you park on the street, use a shared charger, or the wallbox is positioned far from the charging port. Buy the shortest length that reaches without strain, as longer cables are heavier to handle and store.
