Picked up my Ioniq5 Sel, but no charger came with the car? 52k, no charger!
Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced level 1 charger in the US?
We bought my wife’s I5 in August, and even though Hyundai advertises a Level 1 charger included, the dealer refused to provide one. The dealership manager was quite unpleasant about it. If you’re in the Denver area, I’d suggest avoiding McDonald Hyundai.

I’d recommend Planet Hyundai instead.

I got one with my Limited from Schomp Hyundai. Emily there was a great help for anyone local.
Chargers are considered an accessory. If it’s not listed on the window sticker, it’s not included.

I thought all models came with level one chargers. I found a Hyundai branded one wrapped in my car. Maybe check back with your dealer, given you just bought a $52K car.

From MY24 only the Limited has it. It’s been a well-known change for months. It surprises me how often this catches buyers off guard.

Both sides have a point here. Buyers should know what they’re getting, but it feels a bit unfair to not include something as essential as a basic charger, especially when suitable public charging isn’t as accessible as gas stations.

My 2023 limited didn’t have one either.
@Tory
That’s odd, mine did. I hardly use it though.
I use a Vevor level 1 charger but mostly charge for free.
Consider a dual voltage charger for flexibility. More expensive than just a Level 1 but useful for road trips too.

Can you recommend any good ones?

Here are a couple:

Consider the Grizzl-e Mini Connect 40A. It comes with a full-length cable, four adapters, and a three-year warranty. It’s durable and weatherproof.
We mostly use a Level 1 charger at home and it came with our car. It adjusts from 12 amps down to 4 if needed. Surprised they stopped including it.

Level 2 charging is more cost-effective than Level 1 in the long run.
@Rory
I’m curious about the cost difference for Level 2 charging at higher voltages and amperages. Does anyone have the figures?
