EV Cable Shop recommendation
Type 2 to Type 2, 32A single phase (5m / 10m / 15m / 20m)
The Hyundai Ioniq accepts up to 7.2 kW on AC. This cable hands over every watt of it. Domestic supply is single phase in any case, so no three-phase lead will make the car charge faster.
Start with which Ioniq you have, because one of the three does not plug in at all. The Hyundai Ioniq Electric charges at up to 7.2 kW on AC and the Plug-in Hybrid at 3.3 kW. The Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid has no charging socket and cannot use a cable of any kind. Among the electric cars there is a second split worth knowing: when Hyundai facelifted the Ioniq Electric in 2020 it raised the battery from 28 kWh to 38.3 kWh and the onboard charger from 6.6 kW to 7.2 kW at the same time, so the newer car both holds more and drinks faster.
Both plug-in versions use a Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable. Hyundai fitted the Type 2 inlet from the start of UK sales in 2016, so there is no Type 1 Ioniq to worry about and no year where the connector changed.
The right buy is the 32A single phase cable. A British home supply carries a single phase and can push 7.4 kW through it, slightly more than the Ioniq will accept, so the car is the limit rather than the wiring. The 22 kW three phase lead has no role at all on this model, since the Ioniq never asked for three phase in the first place and cannot use two of the three conductors.
On the 38.3 kWh Ioniq Electric the 16A cable is the expensive choice in disguise. Six hours becomes eleven hours forty five, and the cheap rate window is only seven hours long, so the cable decides whether the car fills on the low tariff or spills over into the day rate.
Most Ioniq owners end up wanting a domestic socket lead as well. Our Type 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable pulls 2.3 kW from a 13 amp socket, roughly 12 miles an hour in a 38.3 kWh Ioniq Electric and about 8 miles an hour in the Plug-in Hybrid. On the Plug-in Hybrid that is a complete overnight charge from a normal socket, which makes it a serious cable rather than a spare. Here is what a household socket really gives an electric car.
The nameplate that replaced this one is covered on the Hyundai Ioniq 5 charging cable page, and the crossover alternative on the Hyundai Kona charging cable page. See them all in Hyundai EV charging cables, and read our guide to IP ratings for what the sealing figures mean in practice.
The build standard is IEC 62196 Type 2 with CE certification. Our Type 2 to Type 2 leads are IP55 rated, the Type 2 to 3-Pin lead is IP67, and the operating range is -30C to +50C, or +60C for the 3-pin. A 2 year manufacturer's warranty is included, as is free next working day delivery in the UK.

The 28 kWh Ioniq Electric was certified before WLTP arrived, so its range above is the older NEDC figure and real world mileage sits well below it. The figure drops in winter and at motorway pace.
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 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
Only the plug-in versions. A Hyundai Ioniq Electric or Plug-in Hybrid uses the 32A single phase Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable, while the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid has no charging socket fitted and runs entirely on petrol and its own regeneration.
A 38.3 kWh Hyundai Ioniq Electric built from 2020 takes 7.2 kW, and the earlier 28 kWh car takes 6.6 kW. Hyundai raised both the battery and the charger at the same facelift, which is why a newer Ioniq fills a bigger pack in only a little more time.
Yes. No Hyundai Ioniq has a three phase onboard charger, so a 22 kW cable would leave two of its three power conductors doing nothing on any supply anywhere. The 32A single phase cable already gives the car its full rate.
About 6 hours from empty for the 38.3 kWh Ioniq Electric on a 32A cable, 4 hours 45 minutes for the 28 kWh car, and about 3 hours for the Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid. The Plug-in Hybrid also fills completely from an ordinary 13 amp socket in around 4 hours 15 minutes.
5m fits a Hyundai Ioniq parked close to the wallbox on a private drive, helped by a modest 4.47 metre overall length. Pace out the distance from the wall unit to where the charging flap actually sits when the car is parked, and if that is more than about four metres, order the 10m.
Yes. Untethered AC posts are the standard on UK streets and in car parks, and a Hyundai Ioniq owner plugs in the same Type 2 to Type 2 lead used at home. The Ioniq Electric also has a CCS socket for rapid DC charging, where the charger supplies its own cable.

The original Hyundai Ioniq came in three forms and only two of them plug in. Between 2016 and 2022 you could buy an Ioniq Hybrid, an Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid or an Ioniq Electric. The Hybrid charges itself from the engine and has no charging port at all.
This is a different car from the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6, which are separate models. Trim level makes no difference to charging.

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.
