Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh EV charger: which one fits best?
The Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh charges at home at up to 11 kW through a three-phase connection. That charging power decides which charger makes sense. A heavier 22 kW unit will not charge this Kona any faster. So a solid 11 kW EV charger is exactly what you need. To compare the other battery versions first, browse all Hyundai EV chargers.
For the Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger fits the Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh?
Because this Kona charges at 11 kW at home, an 11 kW charger is the logical choice. Almost every charger we recommend has a built-in MID meter. That is a certified kWh meter that records your charging accurately. This is no coincidence. From 2026 in the Netherlands only, private drivers can earn back up to 500 euros a year on their home charging costs. Their energy supplier pays this back. This works only with a certified meter. Buying a charger without a MID meter today means missing that saving.
For most drivers a home charger with a MID meter covers everything the Kona needs. The Kona Electric has a Type 2 connection. A matching Type 2 charging cable is only needed when you charge at a public station with a socket. At home you charge through the charger's fixed cable.
How long does the Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh take to charge?
With an 11 kW charger you fully charge the Kona in about 7 hours, from empty to full. Plug it in around 23:00 and it is full by morning. This car charges three-phase by design. On a single-phase connection it charges more slowly. A three-phase connection is the key to using the full 11 kW.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh need a three-phase connection?
To charge the full 11 kW at home, yes. On a single-phase connection the Kona charges more slowly, whatever charger you use. If you do not have a three-phase connection yet, you request one from your grid operator.
Do I need a charger with a MID meter?
For this Kona we recommend a charger with a built-in MID meter. From 2026 in the Netherlands only, private drivers can earn back up to 500 euros a year. This also qualifies for ERE registration, a Dutch scheme for reclaiming home charging costs. We recommend having the connection done by a certified installer, which is safer and matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter can arrange installation in the Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders) and Germany, while shipping is available worldwide.
