Charging Troubles for Hyundai IONIQ 5 at Tesla Superchargers: Here’s Why

According to a report by TechCrunch, Hyundai Motor’s 2025 IONIQ 5 is facing compatibility issues with Tesla’s Supercharger network.

The report notes that some users of the 2025 IONIQ 5, which is compatible with Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS), are encountering difficulties connecting to chargers due to the vehicle’s charging port location and cable length limitations.

Hyundai’s charging port is on the rear right side of the vehicle, while Tesla’s Supercharger cables are typically located closer to the driver’s side. This mismatch can prevent charging cables from reaching the vehicle or force drivers to occupy two parking spaces to charge.

The automotive industry began shifting towards NACS in May 2023, when Ford struck a deal to access over 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada. General Motors soon followed suit, and most automakers adopted this standard for their electric vehicles.

However, vehicles like the IONIQ 5, which has differently positioned charging ports, face obstacles. To address this, Tesla has announced plans to equip its V4 Superchargers with longer cables, though a specific timeline has not been confirmed. Tesla has recommended that all vehicle manufacturers standardize their charging port locations on their websites, either to the rear driver’s or front passenger’s sides.

In light of these challenges, Hyundai supports the Combined Charging System (CCS). The IONIQ 5 can charge from 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes at CCS charging stations, compared to approximately 30 minutes at NACS stations.
