Hyundai IONIQ 9 Home Charger Installation: NACS Port, 48A & Circuit
The short version: the 2026–2027 Hyundai IONIQ 9 has a native NACS charging port and a 10.9 kW onboard charger, and Hyundai quotes its Level 2 charging at 240V / 48A — so a 48A Level 2 charger on a dedicated 60A, 240V circuit is the setup to install. Every spec below is from Hyundai's own pages, linked at the end.
NACS Port: Which Home Charger to Buy
Hyundai's spec sheets list a native NACS port on every IONIQ 9 — it launched with one, so there is no older-port version to worry about.
- NACS charger — plugs straight in.
- J1772 charger — works with a J1772-to-NACS adapter rated for AC charging. See NACS vs J1772 home chargers.
Circuit Size for the IONIQ 9
| Setup | Charging current | Circuit |
|---|---|---|
| Hardwired Level 2 (full speed) | 48A | 60A dedicated |
| Plug-in Level 2 on a NEMA 14-50 | 40A max | 50A |
| Smaller Level 2 | 32A | 40A |
EV charging is a continuous load, so the circuit is rated at 125% of the charging current, and a plug-in charger on a 50A outlet circuit is limited to 40A. A three-row EV has a big battery, so full-speed home charging matters more than usual — but if your panel cannot spare 60A, see do you need a panel upgrade.
Hyundai's Home Charger Option
Hyundai sends IONIQ 9 buyers to the Hyundai Home Marketplace, where Level 2 chargers are provided by third parties. Any UL- or ETL-listed 48A charger with a NACS plug, or a J1772 plug and an AC-rated adapter, charges the IONIQ 9 at its full rate.
What Installation Involves
- Panel check — can it carry a new 60A circuit?
- Permit — pulled by your electrician; see who issues EV charger permits in your city.
- Circuit and charger — a dedicated 240V run, then the charger mounted and connected.
- Inspection — the permit closes after the local inspection.
Cost depends mostly on the distance from your panel and whether it has room — see EV charger installation cost and rebates by state.
