Check out this link for more info on superchargers available for different car brands including Hyundai Chevy Bolt Forum FAQ on Tesla Superchargers. Not all Tesla chargers will work for Hyundai.
@Dylan
Thanks for the link, that was informative.

Have a look at what I got on day 1 at work
@Lior
Looks pricey for an L2 charge. Consider overnight charging at home if it’s cheaper.
You can set filters on your onboard search to show only fast chargers. Also, try searching online to see what’s available in your area. I’ve found EVGo and Electrify America have a good presence in my state. Make sure to download the PlugShare app—it’s very helpful.
Funny, using a water bottle for scale in the photo?

Had to free up my hands to snap the pic!
I’m starting to think black is the best color for the Ioniq5, it looks sharp, especially with the Limited trim’s wheels. The teal color is cool too, but the other colors seem a bit dull.
There are adapters for Tesla’s slower destination chargers, but superchargers aren’t an option yet. You’re probably best off sticking with Electrify America for now. Public charging can be inconvenient compared to charging at home, but it sounds like that might not be an option for you.
@VoltVoyager
I’m looking into home charging options since I live in an apartment but have easy access to my car.
Considering your work has L2 charging and there’s an EA station only three miles away, it seems you’re pretty set. I manage with just L2 charging at work and a 40 mile commute.
The dealership is my go-to for charging—it’s free and just down the road. No Electrify America stations near me either, but they are great for longer trips. If you’re considering using a Tesla charger, make sure you have the right adapter and check the Tesla app for compatible chargers.

I set up filters in the app as you suggested. By the way, is the CCS1 charger faster because of the additional inputs? And is it true that J-1772 is better for home charging because it’s slower?

Yes, CCS chargers are faster because they deliver DC directly to the battery, bypassing the car’s internal converter. The J-1772 delivers AC, which the car converts to DC, so it’s slower but gentler on the battery. Fast charging can stress the battery more, but newer tech is improving its resilience.

That setup should work well for you. Just be mindful of your circuit’s capacity to avoid tripping breakers.

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on it during my first home charge. Not sure how the circuit will handle it.
@Eli
If your home is newer, you should be fine. Just make sure nothing else is on the same circuit when you charge.

I’ll check my charger’s specs and see what my outlets can handle. Thanks for the tip!
@Eli
You’re welcome! Check if your outlet is 20a—it will have a special sideways prong.
