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

How long does it take?
Charging
the Hyundai Kona Electric.
The second-generation Hyundai Kona Electric arrived in the UK in 2023 with a more substantial design and two distinct battery options. The larger 65.4kWh pack is the main range-of-choice for UK buyers, available across the Advance, N Line, N Line S and Ultimate trim levels, while a 48.4kWh option covers the entry point. Both versions charge through a Type 2 inlet for AC and use a CCS port for rapid DC, with the larger battery accepting up to 102kW DC.
At home and on public AC points, a Type 2 to Type 2 cable is what you need. The Kona Electric's onboard charger handles up to 11kW on three phases, but the cable you choose does not change that ceiling. Most owners find a 5m cable deals with everything: overnight home charging, supermarket stops, and destination charging at hotels. Rapid DC charging uses the charger's own tethered lead and nothing you buy separately.
Select your battery above. The 48.4kWh pack charges faster at home and on DC, but the 65.4kWh Long Range is the more popular choice for UK buyers wanting genuine daily flexibility. 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 Kona Electric need?
The Kona Electric takes a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for any AC session. The onboard charger accepts up to 11kW, but only on a three-phase supply, which most UK homes do not have. At home on a standard single-phase wallbox the rate tops out at 7.4kW. A 7.4kW cable is the right buy for home charging: it delivers exactly what the wallbox can offer and there is no unused headroom sitting idle.
The case for a 22kW three-phase cable depends on how often you use public AC charging points rated at 22kW. At those stations the Kona Electric can pull 11kW with a three-phase cable, roughly halving the time compared to a single-phase cable limited to 7.4kW. If most of your charging happens at home or on 7kW public posts, the 22kW cable adds cost without benefit. Either way, 5m handles the majority of parking scenarios; consider 7m if there is a long stretch between your wallbox socket and where the car ends up.
What does it cost to charge?
A full charge on the 65.4kWh Long Range costs roughly £5 on a dedicated off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, or around £18 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. The 48.4kWh Standard Range costs around a quarter less per full charge. Either way, an overnight off-peak tariff is what keeps the Kona Electric genuinely cheap to run. Public rapid charging at 45p to 80p per kWh is a different matter and is best used only when you need it. Always check current tariffs with your supplier.

Hyundai Kona Electric FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Hyundai Kona Electric charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Hyundai Kona Electric 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 Kona Electric support V2L?+−
Yes. The Hyundai Kona Electric 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 charging cable does the Hyundai Kona Electric need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, used for home wallboxes and public AC charging points. Both the 48.4kWh and 65.4kWh versions share the same Type 2 inlet. A 5m cable at 7.4kW suits most home setups. The 11kW onboard charger only delivers that speed on a three-phase supply.
Does the 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric support 22kW AC charging?+−
No. The onboard AC charger tops out at 11kW on three phases. On a standard UK single-phase home supply, the maximum rate is 7.4kW whatever cable you use. At a 22kW public AC point with a three-phase cable, the car draws 11kW, not 22kW.
How long does the 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW home wallbox, the 65.4kWh Long Range takes around 8.5 to 9 hours from close to empty, so plugging in overnight covers it with time to spare. The 48.4kWh Standard Range needs around 6.5 hours. A standard 3-pin socket is far too slow for either battery for regular use.
How fast does the Hyundai Kona Electric charge on a rapid charger?+−
The 65.4kWh Long Range accepts up to 102kW DC and goes from 10% to 80% in around 40 to 45 minutes at a compatible charger. The 48.4kWh Standard Range manages up to 77kW DC and reaches 80% a little more quickly at around 35 minutes. DC rapid charging uses the station's tethered cable, not one you provide.
