Wallbox for Hyundai lONIQ Electric

The electric Hyundai lONIQ Electric has a maximum charging power of 7.2 kW with an usable battery capacity of 38.3 kWh. This means that charging via a wallbox is advisable. A number of things are useful to know for this. A wallbox with a heavier charging capacity will not charge more than the maximum load capacity of your car, but it can't hurt either. A wallbox with a lighter power is also possible and can be useful, for example, when the fuse box is not suitable for heavy charging. The wallbox will never charge heavier than what it is made for. Wallboxes have 4 charging capacities, provided that these cannot be adjusted yourself:

3.7 kW wallbox (1 phase of 16A): will charge a maximum of 3.7 kW for this car.
7.4 kW wallbox (1 phase of 32A): will charge a maximum of 7.2 kW for this car.
11 kW wallbox (3 phases of 16A): will charge a maximum of 3.7 kW for this car.
22 kW wallbox (3 phases of 32A): will charge a maximum of 7.2 kW for this car.

Fuse box connection for the wallbox
Choosing the best wallbox for your Hyundai lONIQ Electric depends not only on the possibilities of the car but also for a large part of the fuse box connection. Especially whether you have a 1 or 3 phase connection at home or at work. If you have a 3 phase connection at home or at work, make sure you can charge 7.2 kW on 1 phase, which is often not possible. In that case, choose a wallbox withmanual or dynamic load balancing to get the most possible power out of 1 phase.
If you do have an 1 phase connection in your fuse box, make sure you have enough power for your household. You can also read this article from us with more information about the connection in your fuse box.

Mobile wallbox for Hyundai lONIQ Electric

With a mobile wallbox (also called portable ev charger), you can charge your hybrid or electric car through a normal socket at home. So is the Hyundai lONIQ Electric. Sockets at home have a power of about 220 volts, depending on your country. A mobile wallbox is equipped in such a way that it can be connected to that power grid.

For your Hyundai lONIQ Electric you need to have a Type 2 mobile wallbox. Of course, charging at home via the socket is less fast, but it can certainly be sufficient for hybrid or electric cars with a smaller battery. A mobile wallbox can usually charge 2.3 or 3.7 kW  (10 or 16A). Due to the high battery capacity of the Hyundai lONIQ Electric, we advise you to use a mobile wallbox mainly as a backup or as an emergency solution.
