Hyundai IONIQ 5 Project 45 EV charger: which one fits best?
The Project 45 was the limited launch edition of the IONIQ 5. It came with all-wheel drive and a full equipment list as standard. At home it charges at up to 11 kW of alternating current, through a Type 2 port. That is the same as the rest of the IONIQ 5 range. It points to an 11 kW three-phase wallbox. Every IONIQ 5 version charges the same way at home, so our overview of Hyundai EV chargers works as a starting point for the whole range.
For the Hyundai IONIQ 5 Project 45 we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Hyundai IONIQ 5 Project 45?
Because this version charges at 11 kW at home, a three-phase 11 kW wallbox gets the most out of it. Three-phase means the charger uses all three phases of your fuse box at once, rather than a single one. A more powerful 22 kW charger will not charge this car any faster, so the extra money buys nothing. Usable capacity is the part of the battery you can actually charge and drive on. Here that is the 70 kWh in the table above.
Then there is the meter. A MID meter is a certified kWh meter that sits inside the charger rather than in your fuse box. That placement is the point. It counts only the electricity that went into the car, not the rest of the household. The certification is what makes the reading legally valid. We stock chargers with this meter at both 11 kW and 22 kW. Our range of chargers with a MID meter shows which models have one built in.
Browse all 11 kW EV chargers in our range. The Project 45 has a fixed Type 2 port, so the cable stays on the charger at home. If you also want to charge at a public AC point, you need a separate Type 2 charging cable. Rapid charging on the road runs through the built-in CCS connector for DC fast charging.
How long does the Hyundai IONIQ 5 Project 45 take to charge?
The sum is straightforward: 70 kWh divided by 11 kW comes to roughly 6.5 hours from empty to full. Plug in after dinner and the car is ready in the morning. On a single-phase connection the car falls back to 3.7 kW. A full charge then takes considerably longer, so three phases pay off on this version.

Frequently asked questions
Does the IONIQ 5 Project 45 need a three-phase connection?
To reach the full 11 kW at home, yes. On a single-phase connection the car charges at 3.7 kW at most, however powerful the wallbox is. If you do not have three phases yet, your grid operator can tell you what an upgrade involves.
Why does a MID meter matter for the Project 45?
Because this version pulls a full 11 kW for six hours or more per session, home charging becomes a real part of your electricity bill. A MID meter tells you exactly how much of that bill went into the car. Without one you are guessing, or reading it off a household meter that counts everything at once.
Should I install the charger myself or use an electrician?
We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician. That is safer and it matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter can arrange installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. Outside those three countries we ship the charger but do not install it.
