Hyundai Ioniq 3
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Ioniq 3+−
The Hyundai Ioniq 3 has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 11kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 11kW on three-phase chargers. A 7.4kW cable would cap it. On a single-phase home wallbox both cables charge at the same 7.4kW.

Charging
the Hyundai Ioniq 3.
The Hyundai Ioniq 3 is a fully electric hatchback arriving in the UK from August 2026, offering a modern E-GMP-derived platform in a compact, accessible body. The main battery option is 61kWh (around 58kWh usable), with a smaller 42.2kWh variant also offered. Charging is through a Type 2 inlet for AC and a CCS port for DC rapid sessions. The cable you bring to a wallbox or public AC point is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
The Ioniq 3's onboard AC charger supports up to 11kW on three phases, and DC rapid charging reaches up to 110kW at compatible public chargers. Most UK homes run a single-phase supply, which puts the home charging ceiling at 7.4kW regardless of cable rating. At a three-phase 22kW public AC station with an appropriate cable, the full 11kW is available. DC rapid charging uses the public charger's own tethered CCS lead.
Select your battery above. The 42.2kWh pack charges faster in absolute time; the 61kWh gives more range per session. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.
7.4 kW or 22 kW?
Which cable does
the Ioniq 3 need?
A 7.4kW Type 2 cable gives Ioniq 3 owners on a typical single-phase home supply the full speed their wallbox can deliver. The car's onboard charger can handle 11kW, but that requires three-phase power, which is rarely available in UK homes. For day-to-day home charging, the 7.4kW cable is the right pick and avoids paying for capability you will not use.
If you regularly visit 22kW public AC chargers, or your home genuinely has a three-phase supply, a 22kW-rated Type 2 cable lets the Ioniq 3 charge at its full 11kW. That roughly halves the time compared with a single-phase home session. On a standard single-phase supply the 22kW cable makes no difference to speed, so only upgrade if three-phase access is part of your actual charging routine.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 61kWh battery from empty costs roughly £4.60 on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £16.50 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. The smaller 42.2kWh battery costs around £3.15 off-peak and around £11.40 at standard rate. Overnight charging on a dedicated EV tariff is the most economical routine. Check current tariffs, as they change.

Hyundai Ioniq 3 FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Hyundai Ioniq 3 charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Hyundai Ioniq 3 has a three-phase onboard charger, so with a 22kW cable and a three-phase supply it can charge at up to 11kW.
What length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
What charging cable does the Hyundai Ioniq 3 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The Ioniq 3 supports up to 11kW AC on three phases. For most owners on a single-phase home supply, a 7.4kW cable gives the maximum speed available. DC rapid charging at CCS stations uses the charger's own tethered lead.
Can the Hyundai Ioniq 3 charge at 11kW at home?+−
Only if your home has a three-phase electricity supply, which is uncommon in the UK. On a standard single-phase supply, home charging is capped at 7.4kW no matter the cable rating. On a three-phase 22kW public AC charger with a suitable cable, the full 11kW is accessible.
How long does the Hyundai Ioniq 3 take to charge at home?+−
On a typical 7.4kW home wallbox, the 61kWh battery takes around eight to nine hours from empty to full, well within an overnight charge. The 42.2kWh variant takes around six hours. At full 11kW on three-phase power, both batteries charge faster. A 3-pin socket is a slow backup option only.
What cable length do I need for the Hyundai Ioniq 3?+−
A 5m cable is a good starting point for most home driveways and public charge points. If your wallbox is positioned at a distance from where you park, or the charging port ends up on the far side of the car relative to the charger, a 7m or 10m lead gives comfortable reach without having to reposition.
