Hyundai Inster Standard Range EV charger: which one fits best?
The Hyundai Inster Standard Range can charge at home at up to 11 kW using a three-phase connection. This determines the best choice for your situation: an 11 kW EV charger makes full use of the Inster’s charging capacity, while a faster 22 kW charger provides no additional charging speed because the car cannot accept more than 11 kW. You can also view our overview of all Hyundai EV chargers or compare this model with the Hyundai Inster Long Range, which has a larger battery.
For the Hyundai Inster Standard Range, we recommend choosing a charger from our range of 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Hyundai Inster Standard Range?
The Inster Standard Range takes a maximum of 11 kW at home, so an 11 kW charger is exactly the right size. It is fast enough to charge the car fully overnight, and you don't pay for power the car can't use.
You can also choose an 11 kW charger with a built-in MID meter. That is a certified kWh meter that records exactly how much electricity you charge at home, separately from your household consumption. You then know precisely what charging your Inster costs, which is useful whether you drive privately or for business.
View all 11 kW EV chargers in our range, or go straight to our chargers with a MID meter if you want that certified measurement. If you mainly want a simple charger for your own driveway, our home EV chargers are a good place to start.
How long does the Hyundai Inster Standard Range take to charge?
The usable battery holds 39 kWh. On an 11 kW charger you charge it from empty to full in about 4 to 4.5 hours, including charging losses. Plug the car in at 11 pm and it is ready well before morning.
On a single-phase connection the car charges more slowly. At 16 A it gets 3.7 kW and a full charge takes about 12.5 hours. With a 32 A single-phase supply the Inster takes up to 7.4 kW, which brings the time down to just over 6 hours. A three-phase connection with an 11 kW charger remains the quickest option for this Inster.
The Inster charges through a Type 2 connector, like most modern EV chargers. At home you charge using the fixed cable or the socket of the charger itself. We always recommend having the connection done by a qualified electrician, because that is safer and matters for your insurance. In the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany we can arrange the installation for you; in Germany this starts with a free quote.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Hyundai Inster Standard Range need a three-phase connection?
For the full 11 kW, yes. On a single-phase connection the charging power drops to 3.7 kW at 16 A or 7.4 kW at 32 A, so charging takes noticeably longer. Don't have a three-phase connection yet? A qualified electrician can tell you whether your home can be upgraded.
Why is a MID meter useful for the Inster Standard Range?
A MID-certified kWh meter records your charging consumption accurately and separately from the rest of your home. That way you know exactly how much electricity your Inster uses and what charging at home costs you. If you drive for business, the certified reading also gives you a reliable basis for settling those costs.
