The Hyundai Ioniq 6 takes 11 kW AC, a three phase rating that becomes 7.4 kW at a British home, and a 32A single phase Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable hands the car every watt of it.
Every Hyundai Ioniq 6 uses a Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable, plugged into the Type 2 section of the CCS Combo 2 inlet on the rear right wing.
What sets the Ioniq 6 apart from other cars charging at the same rate is what it does with the energy. It is one of the most aerodynamically efficient cars on sale, with a drag coefficient of 0.21, and that shows up directly in charging maths. An hour on a 32A single phase cable is worth about 32 miles to an Ioniq 6. The same hour, on the same cable, at the same 7.4 kW, gives a Kia EV9 roughly 26 miles. The cable is identical. The car simply travels further on what it receives.
That efficiency is why the 32A single phase cable is such a strong buy here. A seven hour overnight off peak window returns around 225 miles to an Ioniq 6, which is two thirds of the car's 338 mile range recovered while you sleep. Very few owners will ever need to think about charging beyond plugging in at night.
The flip side is that a 16A cable wastes the car's biggest advantage. At 3.7 kW the Ioniq 6 gains about 16 miles an hour, so the same overnight period returns roughly 110 miles. Buying the cheaper lead for a car chosen partly for its efficiency is a strange combination, and the difference in price is small next to what it costs you in charging throughput over a year.
A 22 kW three phase cable is held to 11 kW by the Ioniq 6 and needs a three phase supply to reach it. Houses in Britain are wired with one phase, so a three phase cable will charge your Ioniq 6 at exactly 7.4 kW on the drive, the same as the cheaper single phase lead. Where three phase does exist, at a workplace or business unit, the car reaches about 48 miles an hour.
A Type 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable is a sensible companion at 2.3 kW and around 10 miles an hour. Thanks to the car's efficiency, an overnight stint on a standard socket returns 80 to 100 miles, which is a genuinely useful amount on a long trip where the destination has no charge point.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 charging cable page covers the taller car built on the same platform, and the Kia EV6 charging cable page its close relative. The rest of the marque is in the Hyundai EV charging cables collection.
Free next working day UK delivery applies to every cable, each backed by a 2 year manufacturer's warranty. They are built to IEC 62196 Type 2 with CE certification, sealed IP55 as Type 2 to Type 2 and IP67 as Type 2 to 3-Pin, and rated for -30C to +50C, or +60C for the 3-pin.
Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW three phase, limited to 7.4 kW by a single phase home supply.
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Range Added Per Hour | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16A Type 2 to Type 2 | 3.7 kW | 23 hours 45 mins | approx. 16 miles | Wastes the car's efficiency |
| 32A Single Phase Type 2 to Type 2 | 7.4 kW | 11 hours 45 mins | approx. 32 miles | Best Fit at home |
| 32A Three Phase Type 2 to Type 2 | 11 kW (car limited) | 8 hours | approx. 48 miles | For 22kW posts and workplaces |
| Type 2 to 3-Pin | 2.3 kW | 38 hours | approx. 10 miles | Ideal backup |
All wheel drive versions are rated at 322 miles rather than 338, so their range per hour is about a twentieth lower with identical charging times.
Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 10.5 kW three phase, again 7.4 kW on a single phase home supply.
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Range Added Per Hour | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16A Type 2 to Type 2 | 3.7 kW | 25 hours 45 mins | approx. 13 miles | Too slow for this battery |
| 32A Single Phase Type 2 to Type 2 | 7.4 kW | 12 hours 45 mins | approx. 27 miles | Best Fit at home |
| 32A Three Phase Type 2 to Type 2 | 10.5 kW (car limited) | 9 hours | approx. 38 miles | For 22kW posts and workplaces |
| Type 2 to 3-Pin | 2.3 kW | 41 hours 15 mins | approx. 8 miles | Ideal backup |
Hyundai quotes battery size rather than usable capacity, so both tables are worked from the total and real charges finish a little sooner. Hyundai's own documents give the onboard charger as both 10.5 kW and 11 kW, which is the same hardware quoted at two reference voltages. Both cold weather and sustained high speeds cut this figure.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our cables. Every cable comes with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty, and the jacket will survive being driven over, though we would rather you did not make a habit of it.
Protection against pressure
Our cables are safe to use whatever the weather. Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated, CE marked, and work from -30°C to +50°C. Type 2 to 3 pin cables are IP67 rated, CE marked and work from -30°C to +60°C.
Protection against temperature
Our cables fit any electric car or plug-in hybrid with a Type 2 inlet, including Audi, BMW, Volvo, Mini, Mercedes, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Smart and Toyota. Use our car reg checker to confirm your car.
Compatible with all Type 2 cars
A 32A single phase Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable is the best match for a Hyundai Ioniq 6. It supplies the full 7.4 kW a UK home can provide and, because the Ioniq 6 is unusually efficient, returns around 32 miles of range for every hour it is plugged in.
Because it is more efficient. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a drag coefficient of 0.21 and travels further on each kilowatt hour than most electric cars, so the same 7.4 kW charging rate converts into more miles. An Ioniq 6 picks up roughly 32 miles an hour where a large electric SUV on the identical cable gains around 26.
Not for home charging. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 accepts 11 kW, which requires a three phase supply, and British houses have a single phase feed. A 22 kW cable therefore charges an Ioniq 6 at 7.4 kW on a domestic wallbox, identical to the 32A single phase lead. It only earns its price at a three phase charge point.
Slightly. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 N uses an 84 kWh battery against 77.4 kWh in the standard car, and Hyundai lists its onboard charger at 10.5 kW. It also covers fewer miles per charge at 302, so each hour on a 32A cable is worth about 27 miles rather than 32.
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is a long saloon at around 4.85 metres with the charging flap on the rear right wing. Backing onto a driveway alongside a wallbox on the right means 5m is fine. Parking nose in leaves the flap almost five metres from the wall, where 10m saves a lot of manoeuvring, and street parked owners should think about 15m.
Around 225 miles, using a 32A single phase lead across a seven hour cheap rate stretch, which amounts to roughly two thirds of a full charge. Drop to a 16A lead and a Hyundai Ioniq 6 collects about 110 miles in the same time.

How do I Choose?The cable connection depends on what connection type your car accepts. If you don't know, use our handy car reg checker.
Cable Length:
Sizing guideWe offer different length cables to suit your needs, whether you park next to your charger at home or at the office.
Rated Power (Charge Speed):
How do I Choose?Rated power is the fastest the cable can charge. Match it to your car and your charge point. A higher rated cable still works at every lower speed.
Accessory Add-Ons
We offer a range of products to help store and transport your charging cable. Choose from the accessories below:
A charging cable that connects electric vehicles (EVs) with a Type 2 connector to charging points is also equipped with a Type 2 socket. It supports faster charging speeds and is commonly used across Europe for EVs with this standard connection.
This cable allows electric vehicles with a Type 2 socket to charge from a standard UK 3-pin domestic outlet. It provides a slower charge but is useful for home or emergency charging when dedicated charging stations aren't available.
A cable used to extend the reach of a Type 2 charging cable. It's helpful when the existing cable is too short to connect an electric vehicle to the charging point, providing more flexibility in parking.
A fixed charging cable attached to a charging point, designed for electric vehicles with a Type 2 socket. The tethered design eliminates the need to carry a separate cable, offering convenience for regular charging at home or work.
A charging cable that connects electric vehicles with a Type 1 socket to charging points equipped with a Type 2 outlet. This allows EVs with the older Type 1 standard to use more modern charging infrastructure.
This cable enables electric vehicles with a Type 1 connector to charge from a standard UK 3-pin household outlet. It's suitable for slower charging at home when dedicated EV charging points aren't accessible.
A 5M charging cable is the shortest length that we offer. It is a great option if you can park close to the charge point and do not need much length to reach your car.
A 10M charging cable is the most popular length. It allows you to have enough flexibility whilst still being easy enough to move. This is a great option if you cannot park close to the electricity supply.
A 15M charging cable is a great choice if you need some extra flexibility, i.e. get past another car or reach the other end of a driveway. The length of the cable does not affect the charging speed.
A 20M charging cable is the longest cable that we currently offer. 20M reaches the vast majority of locations where you would want to charge your car. Always use one continuous cable. Never join two charging cables together and never charge through an extension lead, because the join is where heat builds up.
The choice if you will charge from a standard UK 3 pin socket. It runs at the most the socket can safely supply, and the control box lets you turn the current down for a slower, gentler charge overnight or on an older circuit.
A 16amp cable will be able to charge at 3.7kW. This is the cheapest product if your car's max charge speed is 3.7kW. If you have two electric cars or are looking to purchase another it might be worth considering a faster charging cable as this could limit charge speeds moving forward.
A 32amp charging cable will be able to charge at 7.4kW, which is the most a single phase UK home supply can deliver. A 32amp cable also charges at every lower speed (for example 16amp, 3.7kW), so it is the right choice if your home charge point is 7.4kW or you mostly charge at home.
A 32amp 3-phase charging cable will be able to charge at all speeds up to 22kW, so the cable never limits your charge speed at home or in public. It is also capable of charging at all lower charge speeds.
