2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Charge Times and Range

Imagine it’s your first time driving an electric vehicle (EV), and you’re on your way to a town near Virginia Beach for a fun day out. But because you’re a first-time EV owner, you’re still not sure about your car’s charging times and range. All you know is that you charged it before the trip, and that should be enough. Depending on the city you’re going to and the make and model of your EV, you could find yourself stranded with a dead EV battery. Nobody wants that, even hypothetically.

If you’re an EV owner or a soon-to-be EV owner of the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5, read this post to learn about charging time, range, and what you need to know to avoid the above scenario.

2024 IONIQ 5 Charge Times

Understanding how long it takes to charge your IONIQ 5 is crucial to getting the most out of your EV. This section breaks down the different types of chargers, where you can charge your EV, and how long it takes to go from 0% to 100%.

Take a look at some key facts about this new model. The 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5  is available in two versions: the long-range battery (72.6 kWh) model and the standard-range (58 kWh) version. Both have faster-than-average charging speeds (up to 350 kWh) and support 400-volt and 800-volt DC fast chargers, making the IONIQ 5 one of the electric cars with the fastest charging systems in the industry.

Whichever version of the IONIQ 5 you choose, its speed and charging time will depend heavily on the type of charger you use. The 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 is compatible with three types of chargers:

• Level 1 chargers (home charging): portable, basic, and plugs into a designated 120-volt outlet.
• Level 2 chargers (home fast charging): requires special equipment, offers fast charging times, and plugs into a designated 240-volt outlet.
• Level 3 chargers (ultra-fast charging): super-fast DC chargers found at gas stations and in parking lots.

All 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 cars come with a portable Level 1 charger. When you plug it in, the default speed is 6 amps, but you can increase it to 12 amps. Since this is Level 1 charging, it will take days to go from 0% to 100% and an hour to go 3-5 miles. This charging setting is best for short trips and for people who want a simple charging station at home.

If you want a faster home charging station, you will need professional help to access Level 2 charging. This system uses a dedicated 240-volt outlet and the IONIQ’s onboard charger to go from 10% to 80% in about five hours.

If you truly want to unlock the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5’s impressive charging speed, you’ll have to take it to a public charging station. Once there, find an ultra-fast DC charger (350 kWh) and your IONIQ 5 will go from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes.

Note that it’s recommended to switch back to Level 2 charging after the vehicle has reached 80%. This is because the charge time automatically slows down at this stage to preserve the health of the battery, and it’s more cost-effective to use a Level 2 charger to reach 100%.

Range Capabilities of the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5

Knowing the range capabilities of your IONIQ 5 will enhance your driving experience by helping you:

• Know how far you can go on a single charge.
• Plan ahead for stops to recharge at public charging stations on longer trips.

This information will keep you from being stranded on the side of the road with a dead battery.

The first thing you should know is that the range of the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 is highly dependent on your EV’s drivetrain and battery life.

Your IONIQ 5 battery must be at 100% if you want to benefit from the manufacturer’s advertised range. Note that the range varies from version to version. The standard-range battery offers 220 miles on a full charge, while the all-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive long-range versions offer 260 and 303 miles, respectively, on a full charge.

But how do these range specs translate to the real world? Let’s look at two examples:

If you live in Alanton, Virginia, and you want to go to the town center, you’ll need about 20 miles of range to get home without inconvenience. A full charge in either version will be more than enough, but if your IONIQ 5 battery needs a recharge, 2-3 hours of Level 2 charging will do the trick.

Let’s say you want to go a little further, and you’re planning a road trip from Virginia Beach to Charleston, SC. You’ll need about 460 miles of range to get there and another 460 miles to get back. For this 6.5-hour road trip, you’ll need about 2-3 full charges to reach your destination and the same amount to get back. It’s a good thing DC chargers are becoming more plentiful across America.

Charging Infrastructure

The 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 offers three levels of charging. For Level 1, all you need is the portable cable that comes with your EV and a standard 120V outlet. For Level 2 charging, you can use either a plug-in charger to get 25-30 miles per hour of charging, or a hard-wired charger to get 30-33 miles of range per hour. Use your EV route planner to find Level 3 DC fast-charging stations and get about 68 miles in just five minutes.

Technological Innovations

As the car with the world’s first patented dual-charging technology, it’s no surprise that the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 also comes with regenerative braking. This feature generates additional electricity from braking, giving you more range. It can also power other devices such as scooters, electric bikes, and even stranded EVs.
