Charging
the Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV.
The Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV (5th generation) is a large seven-seat plug-in hybrid SUV, on sale in the UK from 2024. Its 13.8kWh battery provides a useful electric-only range for daily driving, with the petrol engine available for longer journeys. Charging the battery uses a Type 2 inlet, so the cable you bring to a wallbox or public AC station is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
There is no DC rapid charging on the Santa Fe PHEV. The onboard AC charger accepts around 3.5kW on a single-phase supply, which is at the lower end for a plug-in hybrid of this size. That means even a standard home wallbox will deliver more than the car can draw, and the cable choice is one of compatibility rather than speed.
Estimates based on battery size and charge power. 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 Santa Fe PHEV need?
The Santa Fe PHEV's onboard charger is limited to around 3.5kW, so any Type 2 cable rated at 7.4kW or above will do the job. The cable's power rating becomes irrelevant above 3.5kW, since the car's own charger is the limit. A straightforward 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is everything this SUV needs for home and public AC charging.
Given the modest charge rate, filling the 13.8kWh battery takes around four hours on a wallbox. A 5m cable suits most driveways. If your home charger is mounted in a position that puts the cable socket further from the car, a 7m or 10m lead makes plugging in easier without affecting speed at all. The extra reach is the only reason to go longer.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 13.8kWh battery from empty costs roughly £1.05 at an off-peak rate of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £3.75 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. At these very low per-charge costs, it pays to plug in daily wherever possible rather than running on petrol for short trips. Check current tariffs, as rates vary.

Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 3.5kW, so a 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. A 22kW cable would only benefit a future car.
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 Santa Fe PHEV need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The Santa Fe PHEV charges through a Type 2 AC inlet at up to around 3.5kW on single-phase supply. A 7.4kW cable is the right choice: it is compatible and gives the car full access to its modest charging rate. There is no DC rapid charging on this model.
Can the Santa Fe PHEV use rapid charging?+−
No. The Santa Fe PHEV has no DC rapid charging. It charges exclusively through its Type 2 AC inlet at up to around 3.5kW. For longer journeys beyond the electric range, the petrol engine takes over, meaning rapid charging is not part of this vehicle's design.
How long does the Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV take to charge at home?+−
On a home wallbox, the 13.8kWh battery takes around four hours from empty to full at 3.5kW. On a standard 3-pin socket at around 2.3kW it takes around six hours. Plugging in each evening easily keeps the battery topped up for the next day's driving.
What length cable is best for the Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV?+−
A 5m cable covers most home driveways comfortably. For a large SUV where the charge inlet may be further from the wallbox depending on how you park, a 7m cable offers useful extra reach. There is no speed advantage to any length, so choose what gives you comfortable slack when plugging in.
