Home Charging.
Charging at home.
For more convenience and faster charging at home, you should have a dedicated home charger, also known as a wallbox installed. These units are fused independently from the household circuit, and can be used any time of day or for overnight charging.
Wallbox
Wallboxes are more than boxes on a wall.
One charging station is not like the other.
-
Wall-mounted charging station.
Wallboxes are usually mounted to garage walls. They support charging with up to 22 kW (depending on your vehicle‘s on-board charger and on your actual domestic power supply).
-
Stand-alone charging station.
Stand-alone charging points for private households can be placed in garages, parking lots, or carports. They can charge up to two electric cars at the same time with up to 11 kW each (depending on your vehicle‘s on-board charger and on your actual domestic power supply).
Do you need all the power you can get?
The power of wallboxes installed in private households ranges from 2.3 to 22 kW, depending on the car and the building's electric circuit.
It’s simple math.
Larger electric vehicle batteries take longer to fully charge and higher wallbox power means faster charging. When it comes to the power of a wallbox, all of the following factors will be considered:
The power of the on-board-charger of your car.
More powerful on-board-chargers can receive higher inputs from the wallbox, shortening charging times.
Your car's total battery capacity.
Higher capacity batteries take longer to fully charge. More wallbox power means quicker charging.
The building's power supply (circuit size).
The amount of power the building's electric circuit can provide may limit the amount of power the wallbox can deliver, limiting the charging speed.
A qualified electrician knows how to figure those numbers out for you.

11 kW wallbox.
IONIQ 6’s powerful 11 kW on-board charger gives you a range of flexible possibilities for AC charging. An 11 kW wallbox would be ideal to charge either the 58 kWh or 77.4 kWh battery it can be equipped with. You can charge at home overnight to take advantage of off-peak rates.

11 kW Wallbox.
The IONIQ 5 is equipped with a powerful 11 kW on-board charger, so a wallbox with 11 kW would be ideal to charge either the 58 kWh or 77.4 kWh battery it can be equipped with.

Different wallboxes for different on-board chargers.
The KONA Electric is available with 7.2 kW OBC on-board charger (OBC) as standard as well as an optional 10.5 kW OBC for faster charging. So depending on your choice, a 7.2 or 11 kW wallbox is needed for effective home charging.

KONA Electric with a 64 kWh battery.
When connected to a home wallbox or public AC charging station, it takes 6 h 50 min to charge the long-range 64 kWh battery pack from 10-100% state of charge (SOC) using the optional 10.5 kW 3-phase on-board charger (OBC) and 9 hours 15 minutes using the 7.2 kW 1-phase OBC.

Cables & Plugs
When charging at home.
-
Type 2 cable.
Typical wallboxes work with 230V (1-phased) or 400V (3-phased) alternating current (AC). Cars are plugged in with Type 2 cables. Depending on the wallbox, the cable might be permanently connected to the box, or have plugs at both ends. They support a charging speed of up to 22 kW.
-
ICCB cable.
To charge your electric vehicle from a domestic 230 Volt socket you need an ICCB-cable (In-Cable Control Box). They have a household plug at one end and a Type 2 plug at the other. The control box communicates between the charging port and the vehicle to ensure safe charging. Because ICCB cables and wall outlets only allow for up to 2.7kW (depending on domestic electric power supply and ICCB setting) charging, the process takes a lot longer. And because residential circuits are not built for that kind of continuous strain, plugging into a regular power outlet should only ever be a fall-back solution.
