Charging the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 at Home
Most 200A panels can handle this car's 40A charger
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is a standout EV for home charging for one key reason: it ships with an 11 kW onboard AC charger as standard — one of the best in the class. A 40A Level 2 charger delivers 9.6 kW, capturing 87% of the maximum rate and completing a 10–80% charge on the 77.4 kWh Long Range battery in about 6.5 hours. The IONIQ 5's 800V DC architecture means it charges blazingly fast at public DC stations (350 kW capable), but home AC charging tops out at 11 kW regardless of voltage architecture. Panel impact on a 200-amp home is modest — a 40A EV circuit leaves plenty of headroom for other loads. The IONIQ 5 uses the CCS1 charging standard but supports the NACS adapter at compatible stations. Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) 3.6 kW output is a useful bonus for camping or power outages.
