The table answers it: model on the left, cable on the right
Find your model in the table and the last column is your answer. Each row links to that car's own page, where the charge port position, the battery sizes and the charging times are set out in full.
Six models, all Type 2, and one of them needs the year checking. The original Ioniq, sold as an electric, a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid across several model years, carried three different onboard chargers over its life.
Reading the home charging column
Every figure in the third column is what the car takes from a single phase British supply, which is the only kind a house gets. The arithmetic is 230 volts times 32 amps, or about 7.4 kW, and that is where the faster cars all land regardless of what their specification sheets claim.
The differences that change your order
The current cars are simple. The Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Kona Electric and Inster all reach 7.4 kW at a British house, and the 32 amp lead is what reaches that figure. The Ioniq 5 and 6 are 800 volt cars, which transforms rapid charging and changes nothing on a driveway.
The first generation Ioniq is the one to check. Depending on year and variant it sits at 3.6, 6.6 or 7.2 kW, and the plug-in hybrid is the slowest of the three. The Tucson plug-in hybrid takes 7.2 kW, which is close enough to 7.4 that the distinction is academic.
Assume nothing about where the flap is on this range, because it is not in one place. The model pages state the flank and the end, which is what sets the length. The Ioniq 5 and 6 use the rear offside, the Kona the centre of the nose, and for one model Hyundai does not publish the flank at all. We say so rather than infer it.
Picking a length for your driveway
Choosing a length is a measuring job, not a guessing one. Run a tape from the charge point to where the charging socket will end up, then add a couple of metres for routing. Ten metres covers most British driveways and five is enough when the charge point is right beside the car.
The nose-charging Kona is the easy case: park head in and five metres reaches. An Ioniq 5 with a rear offside socket and a charge point on the other flank is the case for ten.
How the cables are made
The build is identical across the range: tinned copper conductors, IP67 sealed moulded heads, a jacket that stays flexible through a British winter, a two year warranty and free next working day delivery.
Its sister brands are laid out the same way in the Kia range and the Genesis range, and the 800 volt answers carry across.
Close to 7.4 kW. The limit is the single phase supply, not the cable and not the car. Its 800 volt architecture speeds up rapid charging, not home charging.
Which charger does my first generation Ioniq have?
It depends on year and variant: 3.6, 6.6 or 7.2 kW, with the plug-in hybrid the slowest. The model page separates them.
Where is the charge socket on a Kona Electric?
Centre of the nose, behind a flap in the grille, which is unusual and makes nose-in parking the shortest cable run.
Is a 32A cable right for a Tucson plug-in hybrid?
Yes. It takes 7.2 kW, which needs the 32A lead to reach.
Do I need a three phase cable for a Hyundai?
No. A 32A single phase Type 2 lead carries everything a British home charge point can supply.
