Technical characteristics of Hyundai IONIQ Electric
Hyundai IONIQ Electric – це електричний автомобіль, що не виробляє викидів CO2. Він має запас ходу up to 250 km, що є середнім показником для electric vehiclesв in Ukraine. Автомобіль can розвивати максимальну швидкість до 165 км/год і розганятися до 100 км/год за приблизно 9 секунд. Це не є найшвидшим результатом серед електричних авто, але для повсякденних поїздок цього цілком достатньо.

Hyundai IONIQ Electric charging speed
Hyundai IONIQ Electric is equipped with a 38.3 kWh battery. The maximum charging speed via alternating current (AC) is 7.2 kW, and via direct current (DC) is 50 kW. For Ukraine, these figures are fairly standard, although some newer electric vehicle models already support faster charging. If you use the maximum DC charging speed, you can charge your 80% battery in just 32 minutes.
However, it is important to remember that you should not constantly charge Hyundai IONIQ Electric to 100%, as this may adversely affect the battery and shorten its life. It is better to keep charging between 20-80%, which will help to increase the battery life.
What type of charger does Hyundai IONIQ Electric use?
The Hyundai IONIQ Electric has two types of charging connectors: one for AC charging and one for DC charging. Both of these connectors are combined into one – CCS 2 (Combined Charging System 2).
- The top of the charger – це роз’єм Тип 2, який can заряджати up to 7.2 кВт. Це стандартний роз’єм for charging змінним струмом in Ukraine, який you can використовувати на домашніх charging stations, на роботі або на публічних зарядних мережах.
- The bottom of the charger – це роз’єм CCS, який usesться for charging постійним струмом. Це allows досягати швидкості charges до 50 kW, що підтримує charging на швидких і ультрашвидких станціях, які зазвичай знаходяться на публічних charging stations.
Where is the charging port in the Hyundai IONIQ Electric?
The charging port is located on the left-hand side of the vehicle, near the rear wheel, making it easy to connect. To start charging, simply plug the charging cable into the vehicle’s socket. The 12V battery is located in the engine compartment on the left-hand side.
Typically, at public charging stations, you will need to have a special RFID card, download an app, or become a member of a relevant network to charge. Therefore, before you go charging, it is worth checking the requirements of the specific stations. Apps such as ECOFACTOR EV Charging can help you find the nearest available charging points.
How long does it take to charge the Hyundai IONIQ Electric?
Hyundai IONIQ Electric charging times vary from 30 minutes to 12 hours, depending on the charging speed. Each charger uses different connectors and can be located in different locations, so it is important to understand the difference between charging speeds to ensure an optimal experience.
The charging speed can also be affected by factors such as battery condition, battery life, vehicle load, ambient temperature and vehicle temperature.
To help you understand how long it will take to charge the Hyundai IONIQ Electric, we have calculated how long it will take to charge the car to 80% using typical charging stations. Since it is not recommended to fully charge or discharge the car to the end, we have calculated the charging time from 10% to 80%.
| Charging speed | Connector type | Hyundai IONIQ Electric charging time (10-80%) |
| 2.3 kW (household outlet) | EVSE adapter | ~13 hours |
| 3.6 kW | Type 2 connector | ~8.3 hours |
| 7 kW | Type 2 connector | ~4.1 hours |
| 50 kW | CCS connector | ~54 minutes |
2.3 kW (household outlet)
In Ukraine, standard sockets are most often used to charge Hyundai IONIQ Electric at home. They can be connected to the bundled adapter (EVSE) that comes with the car. This is convenient because you do not need to install a separate charging station immediately.
However, it is worth remembering that prolonged use of this method can overload the wiring, especially in older homes. Therefore, manufacturers advise considering this option only as a temporary solution or for recharging overnight.
How long does it take to fully charge?
If you use a regular wall outlet with a standard adapter, it can take almost 12 hours to charge Hyundai IONIQ Electric from 10% to 80%. This is slow, but convenient enough for daily top-ups if you charge your car at night.
3.6 kW charger
The 3.6 kW charger is a slow charger. You can find it at some public charging stations or install it at your home or work charging point. This is best used for long-duration charging, as it takes several hours to charge significantly.
How long does it take to fully charge?
It takes 7 hours and 27 minutes to charge the Hyundai IONIQ Electric from 10% to 80% using a 3.6 kW charger.
7 kW charger
The 7 kW charger uses a Type 2 connector for AC charging. This is a fairly slow charger that can be installed at home or at work. You can also find them at public charging stations, although they are not the most common type for fast charging in Ukraine.
How long does it take to fully charge?
The maximum charging speed of the Hyundai IONIQ Electric via the AC charger is 7.2 kW, so this charger will charge to almost the maximum speed. The charging time for 10% to 80% is 3 hours and 50 minutes.
22 kW charger
The 22 kW charger also uses a Type 2 connector, but you are unlikely to find this type of charging at home – it is mostly found at public charging stations or in rare cases at workplaces.
How long does it take to fully charge?
The Hyundai IONIQ Electric is not capable of charging at 22 kW as this exceeds the limit of a Type 2 charger. It will therefore charge at a maximum speed of 7.2 kW. The charging time from 10% to 80% using a 22 kW charger will be 3 hours and 43 minutes.
50 kW charger
Charging пристрій на 50 kW – це швидка charging, що uses роз’єм CCS. Такі stations available на публічних charging stations, і це найбільш поширена швидкість charges постійним струмом in Ukraine.
How long does it take to fully charge?
It takes 32 minutes to charge Hyundai IONIQ Electric from 10% to 80% on a 50 kW charger.
Ultra-fast chargers
Ultra-fast chargers are capable of charging at speeds of more than 100 kW and use a CCS connector for DC charging. These stations are not yet very common in Ukraine, but they are gradually appearing in some regions.
How long does it take to fully charge?
The fastest charging speed for the Hyundai IONIQ Electric is 50 kW, so all ultra-fast chargers charge it at the same speed as 50 kW. The charging time from 10% to 80% is 32 minutes.
Where can I charge Hyundai IONIQ Electric in Ukraine?
In Ukraine, there are three main places to charge your Hyundai IONIQ Electric: at home, at work and at public charging stations. Each of these options has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it’s important to understand what’s right for you.
Public charging stations – найкращий варіант, якщо ви хочете зарядити машину швидко, але charging вдома чи на роботі can бути більш зручною.
Charging at home
Hyundai IONIQ Electric can be charged at home using a standard adapter or by installing a special home charging station.
Charging at home is not the fastest option, as charging speeds vary from 2.3 to 7 kW. However, due to the relatively small battery capacity of the Hyundai IONIQ Electric, even such charging allows you to significantly replenish energy during prolonged use.
Advantages.
Installing a home charging station makes it possible to receive government grants that help to partially offset the installation costs. Charging at home is also very convenient, as you can charge your car at any time without having to spend time searching for public stations. In addition, at night, when electricity rates are usually lower, charging at home can be cost-effective.
Disadvantages.
Проте charging вдома – це довгий процес, який can зайняти від 7 до 12 годин, тому для поїздок на великі відстані вам, ймовірно, доведеться шукати інші варіанти заряджання. Якщо ви usesте стандартний адаптер для розетки, а не спеціальну charging station, це can призвести до пошкодження проводки у вашому домі через надмірне навантаження.
Charging at work
Some companies in Ukraine provide their employees with charging stations at work. Such charging points usually have a capacity of 3 to 7 kW, although sometimes there are stations with a capacity of up to 22 kW.
Advantages.
Заряджати авто під час роботи – це дуже зручно, адже ви можете використовувати цей час для поповнення батареї. Якщо ваш роботодавець забезпечує charging, це can бути безкоштовно або за значно нижчою ціною, ніж заряджання вдома чи на публічних станціях.
Disadvantages.
However, not all companies have charging stations for their employees, so you cannot always rely on this option. In addition, charging speeds at workplaces usually do not exceed 7 kW, which makes this method convenient, but not very fast for fully charging a car.
Public charging stations
Public charging stations – це найкращий варіант для тих, хто хоче швидко зарядити свій Hyundai IONIQ Electric. В Україні на сьогоднішній день кількість таких stations зростає, і в багатьох великих містах ви вже зможете find точки charges.
Advantages.
Public charging stations allow you to charge your car using fast chargers, which is especially convenient for those who travel frequently or need to fully recharge. In addition, some stations offer free charging or attractive rates, for example, at charging points in shopping malls.
Disadvantages.
There are several different networks of public charging stations in Ukraine, and each has its own conditions, tariffs and usage restrictions. Some stations may require a special app or membership to access. Also, if a station is located far from your place of residence or work, it may make using public stations less convenient.
