Hyundai Kona EV charger: overview per version
The electric Hyundai Kona comes in several versions, from the compact 39 kWh to the 65 kWh. All of them charge through a Type 2 connection.
The on-board charger, the part of the car that converts mains power for the battery, differs per version. Most versions take up to 11 kW over three phases. The early 64 kWh from 2018 and 2019 charges at 7.2 kW over one phase. The 39 kWh has either a 7.2 kW single-phase or an 11 kW three-phase charger, depending on its equipment. That decides which Hyundai Kona EV charger fits best. Pick your version below or compare all Hyundai EV chargers in our overview.
For most Kona versions we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers. The 64 kWh ('18 - '19) and a 39 kWh with the single-phase charger charge on one phase. For those, a model from our 7.4 kW EV chargers gives the full charging speed. Not sure which charger your Kona has? Check your vehicle papers.
Versions of the Hyundai Kona Electric
No Kona Electric takes more than 11 kW AC (alternating current from your home connection). A 22 kW charger therefore charges the three-phase versions no faster than an 11 kW charger. The single-phase versions charge on it no faster than on a 7.4 kW charger. The battery size decides how long a full charge takes.
| Version | Battery | Max. AC charging power | WLTP range | Charger information |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kona Electric 39 kWh | 39.2 kWh | 7.2 kW single-phase or 11 kW three-phase (depending on equipment) | 305 km | Hyundai Kona Electric 39 kWh |
| Kona Electric 48 kWh | 48.4 kWh | 11 kW three-phase (7.2 kW single-phase in some countries) | 377 km | Hyundai Kona Electric 48 kWh |
| Kona Electric 64 kWh | 64 kWh | 11 kW three-phase | 484 km | Hyundai Kona Electric 64 kWh |
| Kona Electric 64 kWh ('18–'19) | 64 kWh | 7.2 kW single-phase | 449 km | Hyundai Kona Electric 64 kWh ('18–'19) |
| Kona Electric 65 kWh | 65.4 kWh | 11 kW three-phase | 514 km | Hyundai Kona Electric 65 kWh |
Which EV charger suits the Hyundai Kona?
For the three-phase versions an 11 kW home charger is the logical choice. With a three-phase connection you use the full 11 kW. Only a single-phase connection at home? Then a 7.4 kW charger at 32 A lets these versions charge at up to 7.4 kW.
The single-phase versions work differently. They draw up to 7.2 kW from one phase, so a 7.4 kW charger matches them exactly. An 11 kW charger delivers 3 x 16 A, which is 16 A on each of three phases. These cars use only one of those phases. They then drop to 3.7 kW, which roughly doubles the charging time.
We recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician, for safety and for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. In Germany this runs through a free quotation. We ship worldwide, but outside these three countries you arrange the installation locally.
It is also worth choosing a charger with a MID meter. That is a certified kWh meter built into the charger. It records your home charging separately from your household use, so you know exactly what charging the car costs.
In our range you find EV chargers with a MID meter from 11 kW upward, mostly as 22 kW models. The single-phase 7.4 kW chargers do not have one. Don't need the meter? Then any of our 11 kW EV chargers suits a three-phase Kona.
How long does a Hyundai Kona take to charge?
Charging time depends on the battery and your connection. All times below run from empty to full and include charging losses. On an 11 kW charger with three phases, the 48 kWh is full in about 5 hours. The 64 kWh and the 65 kWh take about 7 hours. A 39 kWh with the three-phase charger needs just over 4 hours.
The single-phase versions take longer. On a 7.4 kW charger the 39 kWh needs about 6.5 hours. The 64 kWh ('18 - '19) needs about 10.5 hours. The three-phase versions also charge on a single-phase 7.4 kW charger. The 48 kWh then takes about 8 hours, the 64 kWh and 65 kWh about 10.5 hours. Most drivers top up overnight, so a charger that matches your version is enough for almost every Kona driver.

Frequently asked questions about the Hyundai Kona
Does the Hyundai Kona charge faster with a 22 kW charger?
No. The Kona Electric takes at most 11 kW AC at home. A 22 kW charger charges the three-phase versions no faster than an 11 kW charger. For them, an 11 kW charger on a three-phase connection is the best choice. For the single-phase versions, a 7.4 kW charger is the better match.
Why does a MID meter matter for my Kona?
A MID meter records exactly how much electricity you charge at home, separate from the rest of your household use. That shows you what running your Kona really costs, month by month. In our range this meter starts at 11 kW, so you will not find it on a 7.4 kW charger.
