Hyundai Ioniq 38kWh 3 Pin Charger Query

[Wackywoo105]

Having leased PHEVs for a few years, I m now looking to buy a budget-friendly EV as a second run-around car. I ve always relied on 3 pin chargers, and for my usage that s been perfectly sufficient.

I m considering a Hyundai Ioniq Electric (38kWh) and wondering whether it comes with a 3 pin charging cable as standard.

If not, could anyone recommend a reliable one to purchase?

I'm currently looking at this one on amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Masterplug-Charging-Elect...

Granny charging is kinder to the battery and if you get into the habit of 24 hour charges it's fine. Has worked for my E-Golf and my Model 3.

Yes that charger is fine, but they tend to charge at about 2kW/h so 17 hours for a full 0% - 100% charge.

In reality, you're more likely to do something like 20% to 80% so that would be about 10 hours and would not fit any off-peak rate offered by the leccy companies, so a proper wall mounted charger would make your like easier.

Depends on his requirements, both daily and long distances. I have used a 3 pin plug since May 2024 and have only had to charge outside the overnight cheap Octopus / EON tariffs twice. Both due to unexpected requirements. I've done 10k miles.

Had to use public charging a few times though when outside my range, at 10 - 12 times my home cost.
