What makes E-GMP installs different (mostly: nothing)
The Hyundai/Kia E-GMP platform charges at the same 48A AC rate as a Tesla Model Y. The install is the same. The conductor is the same. The breaker is the same. Network installers don't quote differently based on car brand, they quote based on what your home needs.
The bidirectional V2L feature
Both cars support Vehicle-to-Load, they can power external appliances through a special adapter. This doesn't change the home charging install at all; V2L works through the car's external port using a Hyundai/Kia adapter. Useful for camping, emergencies, but unrelated to home charger install.
Real-world charging math
- Ioniq 5 onboard: 11 kW = 46A real-world (slightly under the 48A spec due to internal conversion losses)
- EV6 same
- Efficiency: ~3.0 mi/kWh both cars (varies by trim and tire size)
- Result: 11 kW × 3.0 = 33 to 36 mi/hr at home
What network installers handle
- Standard 48A hardwired Wall Connector install on 60A circuit
- WiFi/app pairing if the chosen charger supports it (Wallbox, ChargePoint)
- 32A install on a NEMA 14-50 outlet if the homeowner prefers portability
- Load management or panel upgrade if existing panel is undersized
