Hyundai Kona Electric Home Charger Requirements by Trim
All 2 trims need the same thing at home: a 48A charger on a 60A circuit reaches full speed on every one.

Every Kona Electric trim, side by side
From each trim's onboard charger rating, not a generic EV number. Pick your trim to run the assessment with it pre-selected.
| Trim | Years | Onboard charger | Draw at 240V | Full-speed install | Empty to full | Range per hour | Range / battery | Check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Long Range | 2024–2026 | 11 kW | ~46A | 48A charger, 60A circuit | 5.9 hrs | ~42 mi | 261 mi / 64.8 kWh | Check panel |
| Standard Range | 2024–2026 | 11 kW | ~46A | 48A charger, 60A circuit | 4.4 hrs | ~41 mi | 180 mi / 48.4 kWh | Check panel |
Draw = onboard charger kW x 1000 / 240V. Empty to full = battery kWh / charger kW. Range per hour = charger kW x the trim's efficiency. DC fast peaks: Long Range 100 kW, Standard Range 100 kW.
Range added per hour, by charger size
Miles added per hour of charging at common home charger settings. Past a trim's onboard rating a bigger charger adds nothing, so those cells are marked.
| Charger | Long Range | Standard Range |
|---|---|---|
| 16A (3.8 kW) | ~15 mi | ~14 mi |
| 24A (5.8 kW) | ~22 mi | ~21 mi |
| 32A (7.7 kW) | ~30 mi | ~29 mi |
| 40A (9.6 kW) | ~37 mi | ~36 mi |
| 48A (11.5 kW) | ~42 micapped by car | ~41 micapped by car |
| 8-hour overnight, full speed | ~336 mi | ~328 mi |
What this means for your panel
The circuit in the table is what lets your trim charge at its full rating. A smaller circuit still works and charges slower. Whether your panel has room for the circuit you want depends on everything else already on it: that is the actual assessment.
Connector: NACS. NACS (North American Charging Standard, originally Tesla's plug) is now the connector most new EVs are shipping with for both home Level 2 and public DC fast charging.
Hyundai Kona Electric charging questions
What size circuit does a Hyundai Kona Electric need for home charging?
Every Kona Electric trim reaches its full home charging speed with a 48A charger on a 60A circuit. Whether your panel has room for that circuit depends on everything else already on it.
How many amps does a Hyundai Kona Electric draw on Level 2?
46A at 240V, depending on trim. That is the onboard charger rating (11 kW) divided by 240 volts.
How long does a Hyundai Kona Electric take to charge at home?
About 4.4 to 5.9 hours from empty to full at each trim's maximum Level 2 speed: battery size divided by onboard charger rating. Most nights you only refill what you drove.
Do all Kona Electric trims charge at the same speed at home?
For 2026 models, yes: every Kona Electric trim listed here uses a 11 kW onboard charger, so the home install is the same.
