The best home charger for a Hyundai Ioniq 5

The Ioniq 5 is one of the cars where the connector answer changed recently, so the model year matters. Check yours before you buy.

How this page is funded: we earn a commission if you buy through our Amazon links, at no extra cost to you. It does not change what we recommend, and we say plainly when the honest answer is to buy nothing. Full disclosure.

The Ioniq 5 is a good illustration of why the by-vehicle question exists at all. It is the same car, sold across a connector transition, so the right charger depends on which one you have.

Which connector does your car have?

The most reliable answer is to go and look at the charge port, which is on the rear right quarter. Published lists put Hyundai's native-NACS models as the 2025 and later Ioniq 5, the 2025 and later Ioniq 6, and the 2026 Ioniq 9. Earlier cars use the CCS Combo standard, whose top section is a J1772 inlet -- which is what a home charger plugs into.

How fast will it charge at home?

The Ioniq 5 is well known for very fast DC charging on its 800-volt architecture. That is a separate system from home charging. At home you are using AC, and the ceiling is the car's onboard charger.

Find your car's AC charging rate in the owner's manual -- it varies by model year and trim, and we will not print a figure we cannot cite for your specific car. Then work out the real numbers in the charging speed calculator.

The chargers in detail

Three J1772 units that suit an Ioniq 5, with the case against each.

1. A first charger, hardwired

Emporia Level 2 EV Charger (Classic)

Emporia · J1772 · 48 A / 11.5 kW · 24 ft cable

The safe default for a first home charger: 48 amps hardwired, a genuinely long cable, a NEMA 4 outdoor-rated case, and no subscription attached to the app.

What is good

  • 48 A hardwired is the fastest tier most homes can realistically support
  • 24 ft of cable reaches across a two-car garage without a fight
  • NEMA Type 4 enclosure is rated for outdoor mounting
  • Energy monitoring in the app with no subscription

What is not

  • Drops to 40 A if you use the NEMA 14-50 plug rather than hardwiring
  • The app is the only way to change the amperage setting
Published specifications for the Emporia Level 2 EV Charger (Classic)
Maximum output48 A / 11.5 kW at 240 V (hardwired)
Plug-in output40 A with the NEMA 14-50 plug
ConnectorSAE J1772
Cable24 ft
EnclosureNEMA Type 4, indoor or outdoor
CertificationUL listed, Energy Star
Warranty3 years

Skip this if: Skip it if you want a unit with no app or network connection at all. The Grizzl-E Classic is the simpler machine.

2. Homes with an uncertain panel

ChargePoint Home Flex

ChargePoint · J1772 · 50 A / 12 kW · 23 ft cable

The most adjustable unit here. It can be set anywhere from 16 A to 50 A, which makes it the one to buy when you do not yet know what your panel will allow.

What is good

  • Six selectable amperage settings from 16 A to 50 A
  • Sold in both hardwired and NEMA 14-50 versions
  • Rated for indoor or outdoor installation
  • The app is mature and does not require a subscription

What is not

  • 23 ft is a foot shorter than the longest cables in this group
  • The 50 A setting needs a bigger circuit than most panels have spare
Published specifications for the ChargePoint Home Flex
Maximum output50 A / 12 kW at 240 V
Amperage settings16, 24, 32, 40, 48 or 50 A
ConnectorSAE J1772
Cable23 ft
InstallationHardwired or NEMA 14-50
CertificationUL listed, Energy Star
Warranty3 years

Skip this if: Skip it if your circuit is already fixed and you just want the cheapest safe 40 A unit. You are paying for flexibility you will not use.

3. Harsh weather and no app

Grizzl-E Classic

United Chargers · J1772 · 40 A / 9.6 kW · 24 ft cable

A cast-aluminum box with no app, no account and no firmware to update. If you want a charger that behaves like an appliance, this is the one.

What is good

  • Cast aluminum NEMA 4 / IP67 enclosure, built for outdoor mounting
  • No app, no account, no network dependency
  • Amperage is set with physical switches, not software
  • Protections for over-current, over-voltage, ground fault and over-temperature

What is not

  • 40 A ceiling, slower than the 48 A units if your panel can take more
  • No scheduling, so off-peak charging has to be set in the car
  • The cold-flexible 24 ft cable is only on the Extreme Edition
Published specifications for the Grizzl-E Classic
Maximum output40 A / 9.6 kW at 240 V
Adjustable16, 24, 32 or 40 A
ConnectorSAE J1772
Cable24 ft on the Extreme Edition
EnclosureCast aluminum, NEMA 4 / IP67
CertificationUL certified
Warranty3 years

Skip this if: Skip it if you want scheduled charging or energy tracking in an app. The Classic deliberately has neither.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

What charger do I need for a Hyundai Ioniq 5?
A J1772 Level 2 charger for pre-2025 cars. Published lists put 2025 and later Ioniq 5s on a native NACS port, and those ship with a J1772 adapter, so a J1772 charger still works.
Does the Ioniq 5 have a NACS port?
Published lists put the 2025 and later Ioniq 5 on a native NACS port. Earlier cars use CCS, whose AC section is J1772. Check your own car's port.
How fast does an Ioniq 5 charge at home?
It depends on the car's onboard charger, which varies by model year and trim. Check the AC charging rate in your owner's manual -- its very fast DC charging is a separate system that does not apply at home.
Can I use a Tesla Wall Connector with an Ioniq 5?
Only the Universal Wall Connector, or the Gen 3 with an appropriate adapter. A J1772 charger is the simpler route for most Ioniq 5 owners.
