Hyundai Ioniq 5 63 kWh RWD EV charger: which one fits best?

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 63 kWh RWD charges at home with 11 kW of alternating current through a type 2 port. Three-phase means the charger uses all three live wires of your connection instead of one. That is what unlocks the full 11 kW. With the smaller 63 kWh battery a full charge takes around 6.5 hours. The car is ready well before you leave in the morning.

A 22 kW charger adds no extra speed here, because the onboard charger in the Ioniq 5 caps AC charging at 11 kW. Every Hyundai model has its own page in our overview of Hyundai EV chargers.

For the Hyundai Ioniq 5 63 kWh RWD we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV charger range.

Charging specifications of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 63 kWh RWD

Choosing an EV charger for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 63 kWh RWD

The Ioniq 5 63 kWh accepts a maximum of 11 kW on alternating current. An 11 kW charger therefore uses the car's full home charging capacity, and nothing is left on the table. What differs between chargers at that power is the set of features you get with it.

A MID meter is a MID-certified kWh meter built into the charger, calibrated for billing. It records exactly how much electricity went into the car rather than into the rest of the house. Some drivers need those figures to settle with an employer or a lease company. Others simply want to see what charging costs them at home.

Be aware that at 11 kW the choice comes down to a single charger. The wider selection of EV chargers with a MID meter sits at 22 kW. That gives you more models to choose from, but it will not charge this Ioniq 5 any faster. A 22 kW charger also draws 32 A per phase, so it asks more of your home connection.

Load balancing is worth a look too. The charger lowers its power by itself when the rest of the house draws a lot. That keeps the main fuse intact. At 11 kW the car pulls 16 amps per phase, which is a real share of an older connection. Our category of EV chargers with dynamic load balancing shows which models can do this.

Do you have solar panels on the roof? An EV charger for solar surplus waits until your panels produce more than the house is using. It then puts that spare power into the car.

Our home EV chargers category brings together everything that suits a private driveway or garage. We arrange installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. Rules differ per country, so check what applies where you live. In several countries only a qualified electrician may make the final connection, and it is the safer route everywhere.

Charging times for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 63 kWh RWD

The sum itself is simple. About 60 kWh of usable capacity divided by 11 kW comes to roughly 5.5 hours of pure charging. Charging is never fully efficient, so add close to an hour of losses. Plan for about 6.5 hours from empty to full. Plug the car in at 11 pm and it is full by the morning. The Ioniq 5 with the larger 84 kWh battery needs noticeably longer on the same charger. For daily commuting, 11 kW at home is exactly what this version asks for.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Hyundai Ioniq 5 63 kWh RWD need a three-phase EV charger?

For the full 11 kW, yes. On a single-phase 32 A connection the car still draws its full 7.4 kW. From empty to full that takes roughly 9 hours 45 minutes, again including charging losses. The onboard charger in the Ioniq 5 handles 32 A on one phase, so it keeps that speed. Not every electric car does, which is why the single-phase figure is worth checking per model. Your grid operator can tell you what a three-phase connection would involve.

Do I need an EV charger with a MID meter for the Ioniq 5 63 kWh?

You need one as soon as you want to know precisely what you charged at home. Without a calibrated meter you only see the total on the household bill, with the car and the washing machine mixed together. That matters for anyone claiming charging costs back, and it is useful for anyone who just wants the number. Do check the selection first, because at 11 kW the choice of EV chargers with a MID meter is narrow.

Which charging connector does the Hyundai Ioniq 5 63 kWh RWD use?

The Ioniq 5 uses a type 2 port, the same connector as almost every modern EV charger. Chargers with a fixed cable need nothing extra at home. With a socket model you use your own type 2 charging cable. That is also what you need at public points that do not supply one.
