What is Plug & Charge?

If you need to charge your electric car, all you need to do is plug it in and it'll charge - no app or charging card is needed. The authentication to initiate a charging session at a public charge point will take place directly between the vehicle and the charge point – saving you both time and hassle. 

Currently, the following Hyundai electric vehicles are Plug & Charge capable: the IONIQ 5 NIONIQ 5IONIQ 6, and KONA Electric.

    *Maximum range according to WLTP combined cycle. Specification dependent. Figures shown are for comparison purposes. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and equivalent electric range figures with other vehicles tested to the same technical procedures. Range figures were obtained after the battery had been fully charged. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of battery, accessories fitted (post registration), variations in weather and temperature, driving style, use of climate control, battery age and condition.

    **350kW ultra-fast charger required for quickest charge times - chargers are currently available on selected arterial routes – see Charge myHyundai map for details. Not currently available in Northern Ireland.

    ^Hyundai test data for comparison purposes. Actual time will vary and is dependent on a number of factors including battery temperature, condition and age, ambient temperature and the power provided by the charger. Charge time increases in cold weather and if battery temperature activates safeguarding technology.

      No, charging via Plug & Charge is only possible at charging stations that support this functionality. You can filter for charging stations capable of Plug & Charge authorisation within the filter section in the Charge myHyundai map at "Access".
