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 = 33–36 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
