Hyundai Ioniq 5
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Ioniq 5+−
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 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.
Which Hyundai Ioniq 5 versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Hyundai Ioniq 5, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE Connect
- Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium
- Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate
Whichever Ioniq 5 trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a crossover-SUV built on Hyundai's 800V E-GMP platform, on sale in the UK since 2021. It comes in two battery sizes: a 58kWh pack aimed at those who want lower running costs, and the larger 77.4kWh battery for maximum range. Both charge through a Type 2 inlet for AC and a CCS port for DC. The cable you bring to a home wallbox or public AC charge point is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
The Ioniq 5's onboard AC charger runs at 11kW on three phases. DC rapid charging is where the 800V architecture shines: depending on spec, peak DC rates reach up to around 233kW, making motorway stops very quick. Rapid DC sessions use the charger's own tethered CCS cable, not a lead you purchase. For home charging on a typical single-phase UK supply, 7.4kW is the realistic ceiling.
The 77.4kWh battery gives more range but takes longer to fill at home. Both benefit from Hyundai's 800V rapid charging at compatible IONITY and BP Pulse ultra-rapid chargers. 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 5 need?
On a single-phase home supply, a 7.4kW Type 2 cable is the practical answer for most Ioniq 5 owners. The car's onboard charger can handle 11kW but needs three-phase power to do so, and three-phase home supplies are rare in the UK. A 7.4kW cable is all you need to get the full speed your home can provide, at a lower cost than a three-phase cable.
A 22kW-rated cable is worth considering if you regularly charge at three-phase 22kW public AC points, or if your property genuinely has a three-phase supply. In those situations the Ioniq 5 draws its full 11kW, bringing a full charge on the 77.4kWh battery down to around seven hours. For anyone on a standard home setup, the 22kW cable charges at exactly the same rate as the 7.4kW version, so the extra cost offers future flexibility rather than immediate speed.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 77.4kWh battery from empty costs roughly £5.80 on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £21 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. The 58kWh battery works out at around £4.35 off-peak or around £15.70 at standard rate. An off-peak overnight tariff is the most cost-effective way to run an Ioniq 5. Check current tariffs, as rates change frequently.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Hyundai Ioniq 5 need?+−
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has a Type 2 inlet, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on up to three-phase AC at up to 11kW.
Can the Hyundai Ioniq 5 charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 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.
Does the Hyundai Ioniq 5 support V2L?+−
Yes. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so a V2L discharge cable lets you run tools, appliances and devices straight from the battery through the Type 2 inlet, at up to 3.6kW.
What cable does the Hyundai Ioniq 5 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC chargers. The Ioniq 5 supports up to 11kW three-phase AC charging. On a typical single-phase UK home supply, a 7.4kW cable gives the maximum available speed. DC ultra-rapid charging uses the CCS tethered cable at the public charger.
Can the Hyundai Ioniq 5 really charge at 233kW?+−
Peak DC rates of up to around 233kW are possible on the 77.4kWh model at compatible 800V ultra-rapid chargers such as IONITY. This uses the charger's own tethered CCS lead, not a cable you buy. Not all rapid chargers support 800V, so actual peak speed varies by location.
How long does a Hyundai Ioniq 5 take to charge at home?+−
On a typical 7.4kW home wallbox, the 77.4kWh battery takes around ten to eleven hours from empty, fitting neatly into an overnight charge. The 58kWh pack takes around eight hours. At full 11kW on a three-phase supply, both are considerably quicker. A 3-pin socket is only practical as an emergency backup.
Does cable length matter for the Hyundai Ioniq 5?+−
Only for convenience, not for speed. A 5m cable suits most driveways and public car park chargers. Choose 7m or 10m if your wallbox is set back from your parking spot or you want comfortable slack whatever side of the car faces the charger. There is no speed difference between lengths.
