Hyundai Kona Electric Charging Time
A 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric takes about 6.9 hours to charge from empty to full on a 240-volt Level 2 charger, according to its EPA test, and 5.1 to 6.9 hours across the 2025 trims. On a standard 120-volt outlet it takes about 50 hours. A full charge puts about 71.3 kWh through the plug for 230 miles of range.
Hyundai Kona Electric charging time by charger
Figures for the 2025 Kona Electric (19 inch Wheels). 20% to 80% is a typical daily top-up; 0% to 100% is a full charge from empty.
| Charger | Power | 20% to 80% | 0% to 100% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1, 120 V outlet (12 A) | 1.4 kW | 29 hr 42 min | 2.1 days |
| Level 2, 240 V, 16 A | 3.8 kW | 11 hr 8 min | 18 hr 34 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 24 A | 5.8 kW | 7 hr 26 min | 12 hr 23 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 32 A | 7.7 kW | 5 hr 34 min | 9 hr 17 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 40 A | 9.6 kW | 4 hr 27 min | 7 hr 26 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 48 A | 11.5 kW | 3 hr 43 min* | 6 hr 11 min* |
* Only if the car's onboard charger accepts that much power. On its EPA test it charged at about 10.3 kW; if that is its limit, a faster wall charger won't shorten the 6.9-hour full charge.

Cost to charge a Hyundai Kona Electric
A full charge from empty draws about 71.3 kWh from the wall. At 18 cents per kWh it costs about $12.83, and a 20% to 80% top-up about $7.70. The EPA rates the Kona Electric (19 inch Wheels) at 31 kWh per 100 miles, which works out to 5.6 cents a mile. The US average home rate was 18.16 cents per kWh in August 2026 (EIA); the EV charging cost calculator takes your own rate.
Hyundai Kona Electric fast charging
DC fast charging bypasses the car's onboard charger and is far quicker, but the speed depends on each model's charging curve, which slows as the battery fills. That's why fast-charge times are quoted from 10% to 80%. The EPA doesn't test DC charging, so check Hyundai's quoted figure for the Kona. The EV charging curve guide explains why it slows.
