Hyundai IONIQ 5 Charging Adapter
Supercharger Access for 2022–2025 Models
You pull into a V3 Supercharger. Every Tesla next to you plugs in within seconds. Your IONIQ 5's CCS1 port and the station's NACS connector don't mate. The station isn't broken — you need a bridge. Here's exactly which one, and what the charging math looks like once you have it.
The IONIQ 5 uses a CCS1 port on 2022–2024 models (up to 220 kW DC) and a native NACS port on 2025+ models. CCS1 owners need the ChargePapa DC-Link NACS-to-CCS1 adapter (500A / 1,000V DC) to access compatible Tesla Supercharger sites. NACS owners need a J1772-to-NACS adapter for non-Supercharger Level 2 stations.
⚠️ Supercharger access is not guaranteed by the adapter alone. Confirm that your vehicle is authorized, the Supercharger site is open to your vehicle, and the adapter type is supported by Tesla and/or your vehicle manufacturer before relying on it for a trip. Verify station compatibility in the Tesla app before route planning.
What Port Does the Hyundai IONIQ 5 Have?
The 2022–2024 IONIQ 5 uses a CCS1 (Combined Charging System, Type 1) port — the round J1772 AC connector plus two large DC pins below it. Supports both AC Level 1/2 and DC fast charging in one port. DC max: 220 kW.
The 2025+ IONIQ 5 uses a native NACS (North American Charging Standard) port — single oval port, same as Tesla vehicles. Can plug directly into Tesla Superchargers at authorized sites and NACS-equipped DC fast chargers without an adapter.
How to confirm: Check the charge port door. CCS1 = round top + two large rectangular DC pins at the bottom. NACS = single oval port, no exposed DC pins.
| Model Year | Port Type | DC Max | Supercharger Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022–2024 | CCS1 | 220 kW | ⚠️ Needs NACS-to-CCS1 adapter + authorization |
| 2025+ | NACS | 220 kW | ✅ Direct plug-in at authorized sites |
Which Adapter for Tesla Superchargers?
ChargePapa DC-Link NACS-to-CCS1 Adapter (CPCADA0030) — 500A continuous / 1,000V DC / IP65 / UL94 V-0 flame-rated housing.
At 220 kW on a compatible V3/V4 Supercharger and 1,000V rated voltage, the adapter operates at 220A — 44% of its 500A continuous rating. The other 56% of headroom is thermal buffer: the adapter stays cool through a full session without reducing session speed.
When the vehicle, station, and authorization path are all supported, your IONIQ 5 can charge at its rated 220 kW peak on a compatible V3 Supercharger — session completes normally, no mid-charge cutoff from the adapter side.
The IONIQ 5 runs on Hyundai's 800V E-GMP platform — the same architecture as the IONIQ 6, Kia EV6, and Genesis GV6 — which is one reason the 220 kW charging speed is among the fastest in its class.
| Rated Current | 500A continuous |
| Rated Voltage | 1,000V DC |
| IONIQ 5 load (220 kW) | 220A = 44% capacity |
| Protection Rating | IP65 |
| Shell Material | UL94 V-0 thermoplastic |
| Operating Temp | −22°F to +122°F |
Which Adapter for J1772 Level 2 Stations?
ChargePapa Tesla-Link J1772-to-NACS Adapter (CPCADA0017) — 80A Max / 110V–250V AC / Silver-Plated Copper Alloy terminals / UL94 V-0 / IP54.
The 2025 IONIQ 5's onboard AC charger handles up to 11 kW (approximately 46A on a 240V circuit). The Tesla-Link's 80A rating puts the car's full AC load at 57% of the adapter's continuous capacity — no thermal stress during overnight home charges or hotel stays.
Every hotel wall box, workplace J1772 post, and shopping-center Level 2 charger works with your 2025+ IONIQ 5. One adapter, any J1772 station.
Note: The 2025+ NACS IONIQ 5 can plug directly into Superchargers at authorized sites — no adapter needed. The Tesla-Link covers the J1772 Level 2 gap only.
| Rated Current | 80A Max |
| Operating Voltage | 110V–250V AC |
| Terminal Material | Silver-Plated Copper Alloy |
| Housing Standard | UL94 V-0 flame retardant |
| Protection Grade | IP54 |
| IONIQ 5 AC draw | ~46A (11 kW OBC) = 57% capacity |
Does the 2022–2024 IONIQ 5 Need an Adapter for J1772 Level 2?
No. The CCS1 port on 2022–2024 IONIQ 5 models accepts J1772 Level 2 connectors directly — CCS1's upper half is electrically and mechanically compatible with J1772. You only need the DC-Link NACS-to-CCS1 adapter specifically for DC fast charging at Tesla Superchargers, which use the NACS connector on the station side.
How Fast Does the IONIQ 5 Charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Compatible V3/V4 stations can deliver the IONIQ 5's maximum 220 kW when the vehicle, station, and authorization path are all supported. A typical 10–80% charge on the 77.4 kWh battery at 220 kW takes approximately 18 minutes under ideal conditions (ambient temp, pre-conditioned battery). Supercharger access for non-Tesla vehicles requires authorization via the Tesla app or Plug & Charge — the adapter handles the physical connection; Tesla's software handles network access. Verify station compatibility in the Tesla app and/or the vehicle manufacturer's app before route planning.
| Supercharger Type | Station Max | IONIQ 5 Actual | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| V2 (150 kW) | 150 kW | ~50–75 kW | 800V platform may limit V2 speed |
| V3 (250 kW) | 250 kW | ~220 kW peak | Full rated speed — adapter not the bottleneck |
| V4 (350 kW) | 350 kW | ~220 kW peak | Car is the ceiling, not the station |
IONIQ 5 Adapter Questions
The IONIQ 5 is one of the fastest-charging CCS1 vehicles on the road. Getting it onto the Supercharger network is a one-adapter decision for 2022–2024 owners — when the vehicle, station, and authorization path are all supported. For 2025 owners with NACS, the J1772 gap is the one to close. Both adapters are in the ChargePapa catalog — see links above.
If you're not sure which model year you have, check the driver's door jamb sticker or the charge port door shape: round top + DC pins = CCS1 (needs DC-Link); single oval = NACS (needs Tesla-Link for Level 2).
