Hyundai EV Charging Cables & V2L

The Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Kona Electric and Inster all charge on the universal Type 2 (Mode 3) connector, and the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and Kona Electric also support V2L, which calls for a discharge adapter rather than a charging cable. Older Hyundai plug-ins may be Type 1, so check the charge port shape first. The Hyundai cables here come in 7kW and 22kW ratings, with Mode 2 (3-pin granny) options for emergency charging.

Choosing the right cable for your Hyundai

Hyundai's EV range (Inster, Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Ioniq 9, Kona Electric) shares Kia's E-GMP 800V platform on the larger models. Native V2L across the line, Type 2 AC + CCS DC universally. The Ioniq 5 set the V2L benchmark when launched in 2021 and the rest of the range follows.

Connector spec by model

  • Inster (2025+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. V2L 3.6kW.
  • Ioniq 5 (2021+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. V2L 3.6kW. 800V (350kW DC).
  • Ioniq 6 (2023+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. V2L 3.6kW. 800V.
  • Ioniq 9 (2025+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. V2L 3.6kW. 800V.
  • Kona Electric (2018+): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. V2L on second-gen Kona Electric (2024+).
  • Ioniq Electric (2017-2022): Type 2 + CCS. 7.4kW AC. No V2L.
  • Tucson PHEV: Type 2 AC, 7.4kW (32A single-phase).

V2L: what makes it useful

Every E-GMP Hyundai (Ioniq 5, 6, 9, Inster, post-2024 Kona Electric) supports V2L at 3.6kW from the Type 2 port. Plug in a V2L adapter and you have a UK 3-pin socket on the side of your car. Up to 3.6kW continuous: enough for a kettle, oven element, fridge, multiple power tools.

The Ioniq 5 ships standard with a discreet V2L cable in the boot. Ioniq 6 same. Ioniq 9 expands the V2L menu with internal cabin sockets. The Inster has the smallest battery (49kWh) so V2L runtime is shorter, maybe 6-8 hours of fridge + lights, vs 16+ hours on an Ioniq 9.

800V architecture: DC charging

Ioniq 5, 6, 9 and (selected) Kona Electric are 800V, peak ~230-250kW DC on a 350kW ultra-rapid station (Ionity, Tesla Supercharger V4, BP Pulse 300kW). 10-80% in about 18 minutes. The Inster is 400V, peaks around 85kW DC.

800V doesn't change home AC charging: caps at 11kW AC like every modern EV.

AC charging speed at home

  • 11kW three-phase: ~45 miles/hour. Refills Ioniq 5 (77kWh) overnight in 6.5 hours.
  • 7.4kW single-phase: ~25-30 miles/hour. Same Ioniq 5 in 10 hours.

Length recommendations

Hyundai charge ports are at the rear-right on Ioniq 5/6 and front-right on Inster/Kona. Pick a Type 2 cable that covers your driveway plus 1-2m slack: 7.5m or 10m for typical UK home setups.

Cable adapters

For Hyundai V2L specifically, our V2L adapter with UK 3-pin output (single or double socket) is the spec to match. Multi-socket variants split the 3.6kW total across both outlets, fine for low-draw devices, less ideal for two power-hungry tools.

Smart-tariff integration

Bluelink (Hyundai's app) does basic charge scheduling. For dynamic Octopus Intelligent integration, pair your Hyundai with Ohme; for solar-PV homes pair with MyEnergi Zappi.

Older Ioniq Electric (2017-2022)

The pre-Ioniq-5 "Ioniq Electric" hatchback caps at 7.4kW AC and doesn't have V2L. Standard Type 2 AC + CCS DC. A 7.4kW cable is the right pairing: 11kW or 22kW work but throttle.

Questions

Will this cable work with my Hyundai?
Every current UK Hyundai EV uses Type 2 (Mode 3). Older Hyundai hybrids or pre-2018 EVs may use Type 1, check your charge port: hexagonal 7-pin = Type 2, square 5-pin = Type 1.
What length cable should I get for my Hyundai?
10m suits most UK home setups. 5m if your wallbox is right next to where you park. 15-25m for awkward driveway layouts.
What rating? 7kW or 22kW?
Match to your wallbox. UK home wallboxes are mostly 7kW (32A single-phase). 22kW only relevant if you have a three-phase supply.
Do you sell granny cables for this car?
Yes: see our granny chargers range. Mode 2 portable cables work with all current Hyundai EVs.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock items ship same-day if ordered before 16:00 on a working day. Standard delivery is next-working-day across mainland UK. Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and remote Highlands take 2-3 working days. Free delivery on orders over £150.
