Hyundai of San Bruno – How Long Does It Take to Charge the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 at Home in San Bruno, CA?

The most common question we hear from in-market EV shoppers is simple — how long will it take to charge at home. If you are considering the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5, home charging is designed to be easy and predictable, and 2026 models now include a charging cable compatible with Level 1 and Level 2 charging as standard equipment. Below, our Hyundai of San Bruno team explains real-world home charging times, what affects them, and how to set up a home solution that fits daily life on the Peninsula.

First things first, the IONIQ 5 offers two battery sizes — a standard pack and an extended pack — and an onboard AC charger that supports up to 10.9 kW on Level 2. For most San Bruno drivers who park overnight, a 240V Level 2 setup delivers a full workweek of driving between dinner and breakfast. The standard 120V household outlet remains a useful backup for light daily mileage or topping up when visiting friends and family, while public DC fast charging is best for road trips and busy days when you need the quickest turnaround. Actual times will vary based on your battery state of charge, ambient temperature, circuit amperage, and whether your IONIQ 5 is rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

Here is a quick way to frame home charging expectations for the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 based on typical Bay Area setups and our customers’ routines.

• Level 1 120V adds roughly 2 to 3 miles of range per hour
• Level 2 240V commonly adds around 25 to 35 miles of range per hour
• Level 2 240V can typically recharge from about 20 percent to about 80 percent in roughly 4 to 6 hours
• A full overnight Level 2 session usually covers a full battery on most trims
• Public DC fast charging is the right tool for trip days — the IONIQ 5 can go from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 20 minutes under ideal conditions

Why the big spread. Charging speed is a partnership between your home circuit and the IONIQ 5’s onboard charger. Many home EVSE units are set up on a 40A or 48A circuit, and the IONIQ 5 can accept up to 10.9 kW AC. If your home is set to deliver the full capability and your battery is in its fastest charging window, you will see the higher end of those estimates. If you are topping up from a lower output 240V circuit or the pack is near full, charging slows — which is normal battery management behavior designed for longevity.

Planning a smooth at-home setup is straightforward, and our team helps customers through it every week. Use the quick checklist below to get started, then reach out if you would like local installer introductions or a walk-through of your options in our 180,000 sq ft indoor showroom on El Camino Real.

1. Confirm electrical capacity with a licensed electrician familiar with EV charging in San Mateo County
2. Select a Level 2 EVSE that matches your panel and desired amperage
3. Choose a mounting spot that keeps the cable organized and within easy reach
4. Enable scheduled charging so most charging happens during your preferred hours
5. Test your setup with the included IONIQ 5 charging cable and verify expected charge rates in the vehicle display

What about battery care and daily habits. For everyday commuting around San Bruno, Daly City, Burlingame, and San Mateo, most drivers plug in when they park and set a target around 80 to 90 percent for routine use. Saving 100 percent for trip days is a simple best practice. The IONIQ 5’s EV menus make scheduling and target limits easy, and the 12.3?inch display clearly shows time-to-full estimates once you plug in. Across the lineup, EPA-estimated ranges span from approximately 245 to 318 miles depending on battery and drivetrain, so an overnight Level 2 session more than covers a typical week of errands, school runs, and a Highway 101 commute.

Beyond home charging, the IONIQ 5’s Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability is a favorite among our customers. While not a charging feature, it turns the SUV into a mobile power source for tailgates, job site tools, and camping. For color and trim personalization, 2026 adds Sage Silver Matte to the palette, with Ultimate Red and Cosmic Blue Pearl now available across the lineup — great options if you want your charging station at home to coordinate with your new IONIQ 5 in the driveway.

Safety and confidence come standard, too. Hyundai SmartSense driver assists such as Lane Keeping Assist and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist lend calm on busy I?280 merges while your IONIQ 5 silently recovers energy through regenerative braking. And when you do need a quick turn, the platform’s ultra-fast DC capability makes public charging a simple add-on to a grocery run.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need a Level 2 home charger for the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 in San Bruno?

Level 2 is the sweet spot for most owners because it turns every overnight into a full refuel for the week. If you drive fewer miles and have easy access to public DC fast charging, you can start with Level 1 and upgrade later. Our team can help you decide based on your commute and parking setup.

What outlet do I need to charge at home?

Level 1 uses a standard 120V household outlet. Level 2 uses a dedicated 240V circuit similar to a dryer connection. A licensed electrician can confirm the best solution for your home and install a properly rated circuit and EVSE.

How long does Level 2 home charging take on the IONIQ 5?

Plan on roughly 25 to 35 miles of range per hour of charge at home. Many owners see a routine 20 percent to 80 percent top-up in about 4 to 6 hours, with a full overnight session covering most trims from low state of charge to full.

Can I charge outdoors in the rain?

Yes. Quality home EVSE units are weather rated, and the IONIQ 5’s charge port and connector are designed for outdoor use. Always follow the EVSE manufacturer’s installation and safety instructions.

Does the 2026 IONIQ 5 include a home charging cable?

Yes. For 2026, a charging cable compatible with Level 1 and Level 2 charging is included as standard equipment, making it even easier to get started on day one.
