Hyundai IONIQ 5 EV Charging Speeds
Your car sets the max AC charging speed — not the EV charger.
48 amp
vehicle’s max charging amperage
If your vehicle’s maximum charging limit is 48 amp, a higher-amp charger won’t charge it faster — but it can future-proof you for your next EV.
The table below shows estimated Level-2 home charging times and miles added at common amperages. Your vehicle caps the real charging speed at its onboard limit.
Matches the vehicle’s 48 amp maximum charging speed for full-speed home charging with a little headroom.
≈38.4 miles of range per hour of charging Works with all EVs (keep it for your next car) Hardwiring recommended at 50 amp+

Hyundai IONIQ 5 — FAQs
How fast will a Hyundai IONIQ 5 charge at home?
On Level-2 (240 V), the Hyundai IONIQ 5 supports about 48 amp AC via its onboard charger (~11.5 kW). With a 50 amp charger on a proper circuit, expect strong home-charging speeds.
What’s the best home charger for a Hyundai IONIQ 5?
Choose the highest-amp Primecom charger that meets or slightly exceeds the car’s onboard limit. For the Hyundai IONIQ 5, our 50 amp model is the best match (hardwiring recommended).
Does an 80 amp charger make a Hyundai IONIQ 5 charge faster?
No. AC charging is capped by the vehicle. An 80 amp unit won’t exceed the Hyundai IONIQ 5’s ~48 amp acceptance, but it can future-proof for your next EV.
How many miles could I add with an overnight charge (8 hours)?
At the best-match charger (~50 amp), you can add roughly ≈307 miles in 8 hours under EPA-style assumptions.
How many miles per hour will a Hyundai IONIQ 5 charge?
Multiply efficiency (mi/kWh) by the effective charger power (kW), which is limited by the car’s max AC acceptance. See the table for examples at 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 50 amp.
What breaker and wire do I need for a 50 amp home EV charger?
Under NEC continuous-load rules, a 50 amp EVSE is typically on a 60 amp breaker when hardwired. Always consult a licensed electrician and local code.
Will a higher-amp charger harm my Hyundai IONIQ 5?
No. The car only draws what it can accept. Using a charger rated above the car’s limit is safe when installed to code and may future-proof for your next EV.
Is a 50 amp charger compatible with a NEMA 14-50 outlet?
Many Level-2 chargers use a NEMA 14-50 plug for 240 V circuits; others are hardwired. Check the product page and follow local code and electrician guidance.
What affects real-world charging speed?
Battery temperature, state-of-charge window, ambient temperature, cable gauge/length, and vehicle thermal management can all affect miles added per hour.
Can I schedule charging with Primecom chargers?
Yes — supported models let you schedule start/stop windows to align with off-peak rates or solar production.
Estimates are guidance only; verify circuit/breaker sizing and follow local code.
