Hyundai Ioniq 6
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Ioniq 6+−
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 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 6 versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Hyundai Ioniq 6, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Hyundai Ioniq 6 Premium
- Hyundai Ioniq 6 Ultimate
Whichever Ioniq 6 trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Hyundai Ioniq 6.
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is a streamlined electric saloon built on the 800-volt E-GMP platform, which Hyundai and Kia share with the Ioniq 5 and EV6. UK buyers choose between a 53kWh rear-wheel-drive model and the larger 77.4kWh battery in both RWD and AWD. The aerodynamic body gives the Ioniq 6 some of the best real-world efficiency figures in the saloon segment. For AC charging, the inlet is Type 2, with a CCS port for rapid DC: the cable you carry is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
Where the Ioniq 6 stands out is on the rapid DC side: the 77.4kWh model accepts up to 233kW at a compatible 800V charger, among the quickest of any current production car. That speed is handled by the charger's own tethered CCS cable. The onboard AC charger is rated at 11kW on three phases, which is where your Type 2 cable comes in for everyday home and workplace charging.
The 77.4kWh Ioniq 6 accepts up to 233kW DC on compatible 800V chargers, making motorway stops brief. Both battery sizes use the same 11kW AC charger for home charging. 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 6 need?
Day-to-day AC charging, at home or at a public AC point, happens through the 11kW onboard charger. Reaching 11kW requires three-phase power. In UK homes this is uncommon: the standard single-phase supply caps every wallbox at 7.4kW, and no cable changes that. A 7.4kW Type 2 cable is the right fit for most Ioniq 6 owners with a home wallbox, delivering the full speed the installation allows.
If your home has three-phase power, or you regularly plug in at 11kW or 22kW public AC charge points, a 22kW rated cable allows the Ioniq 6 to draw the full 11kW its charger can accept. On a single-phase connection, that same 22kW cable delivers 7.4kW. It is worth noting that the Ioniq 6's impressive range means most owners rarely need to rush an AC charge: even a slow overnight charge from a modest level covers a full day's driving.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 77.4kWh battery from empty costs roughly £6 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, and about £21 at a standard domestic rate of around 27p. The 53kWh variant costs around £4 off-peak and roughly £14 at standard rates. The Ioniq 6's efficiency means energy use per mile is lower than most rivals, so real-world monthly costs are often better than the battery size alone suggests. Public rapid charging is typically 45p to 80p per kWh. Rates vary; check current tariffs.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Hyundai Ioniq 6 need?+−
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 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 6 charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 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 6 support V2L?+−
Yes. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 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 6 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, the standard for virtually all UK home wallboxes and public AC charge points. Both battery variants use the same Type 2 inlet. A 5m cable works in most situations. On a single-phase home supply the maximum AC speed is 7.4kW, so a 7.4kW cable is sufficient unless you have three-phase power.
Can the Hyundai Ioniq 6 use 22kW AC charging?+−
The Ioniq 6's onboard AC charger is rated to 11kW, not 22kW, so it cannot draw more than 11kW on AC regardless of the cable or charger used. Reaching 11kW also requires a three-phase supply. Standard single-phase UK home wallboxes are limited to 7.4kW. A 22kW cable on a single-phase supply still delivers 7.4kW.
How long does the Hyundai Ioniq 6 take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase wallbox, the 77.4kWh battery takes around 10 to 11 hours from empty. The 53kWh model takes roughly 7 to 8 hours. Most owners charge partly rather than from empty each night, so in practice a wallbox comfortably keeps pace with daily mileage. A 3-pin socket is very slow and best avoided as a routine option.
How fast does the Ioniq 6 rapid charge on DC?+−
The 77.4kWh Ioniq 6 can accept up to 233kW at a compatible 800V CCS rapid charger, allowing a 10% to 80% charge in under 20 minutes under ideal conditions. The 53kWh model reaches up to 180kW. Both use the rapid charger's own tethered cable: your Type 2 lead is for AC only.
