The 800V charging king costs about $14.40 to charge at home.
Pre-filled with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range RWD (84 kWh, 2025): 80 kWh usable battery, 3.5 mi/kWh. Change any number to match your car.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range is the fastest-charging mainstream EV you can buy. Its 800-volt architecture takes the 84 kWh battery (80 kWh usable) from 10% to 80% in about 18 minutes on a powerful DC fast charger — roughly half the time of most rivals. A full home charge at the US average rate costs about $14.40 for an EPA-estimated 318 miles of range, or roughly 4 to 5 cents per mile. For 2025 Hyundai also added a native NACS port, so the Ioniq 5 now plugs directly into Tesla Superchargers without an adapter.
The Ioniq 5 stands out because Hyundai built it on a dedicated EV platform with an 800-volt electrical system, while most competitors still use 400 volts. Higher voltage means the same power flows at lower current, so the car can accept huge charging speeds without overheating. The Long Range rear-wheel-drive version is the one to get for running costs: it has the biggest battery, the longest range at 318 miles, and the best efficiency in the lineup. It also comes with vehicle-to-load capability, so the car can power a fridge, tools or camping gear from its battery.

Efficiency is the number that matters most for your wallet. At 3.5 miles per kWh, every kilowatt-hour of electricity takes you 3.5 miles. A more efficient car needs fewer kilowatt-hours for the same trip, so it costs less to charge even with the same battery size.
The table below uses the US average home rate of $0.18 per kWh (EIA, August 2026) and the national public fast-charging average of $0.48 per kWh (estimate). The "mixed" column assumes 80% home charging and 20% public charging, which matches how most owners actually charge.
| Annual mileage | Home only | Public only | Mixed (80/20) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8,000 miles | $411.43 | $1,097.14 | $548.57 |
| 12,000 miles | $617.14 | $1,645.71 | $822.86 |
| 15,000 miles | $771.43 | $2,057.14 | $1,028.57 |
Home charging an Ioniq 5 is simple and cheap. The 11 kW onboard charger refills the battery overnight on a Level 2 wall connector, adding about 30 miles of range per hour. At the US average home rate of $0.18 per kWh, driving 1,000 miles a month costs around $51 at home. In Florida ($0.150 per kWh) that is about $43, and in Washington ($0.146) about $42. In California ($0.298) the same driving costs roughly $85 — still far below gas, but a reminder to check your local rate. The Ioniq 5's battery is warrantied for 10 years or 100,000 miles, the longest in the class, so home charging every night is exactly what the car was built for.
Public charging is where the Ioniq 5 earns its reputation. On a 350 kW DC fast charger it can add about 178 miles of range in 15 minutes, and a 10–80% session takes roughly 18 minutes in good conditions — faster than a Tesla Model Y. Peak power is around 240 kW. The catch is that you need a genuinely powerful charger to see those speeds; on a common 150 kW charger the same session takes closer to 30 minutes, and on a Tesla Supercharger the car is currently limited to lower speeds because of the voltage difference. At the national average public rate of about $0.48 per kWh, a full charge costs around $38. A 10–80% road-trip stop costs roughly $27.
The Ioniq 5's natural gas rival is the Honda CR-V, one of America's best-selling SUVs at about 30 mpg combined. Over 60,000 miles in five years, the CR-V burns 2,000 gallons — about $8,200 at $4.10 a gallon. The Ioniq 5 uses about 17,100 kWh for the same distance, costing roughly $4,110 on a typical 80% home / 20% public mix. The five-year fuel saving is about $4,090, and the Ioniq 5 also skips oil changes and most brake work. The Ioniq 5 starts from about $34,995, which makes it one of the cheapest ways into a long-range, ultra-fast-charging EV — and the fuel saving starts on day one.
| 5 years / 60,000 miles | Hyundai Ioniq 5 | Honda CR-V (gas) |
|---|---|---|
| Energy used | 17,143 kWh | 2,000 gallons |
| Fuel cost (5 years) | $4,114.29 | $8,200.00 |
| You save with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 | $4,085.71 over 5 years | |
EV figure uses a typical 80% home / 20% public mix at the US average home rate ($0.18/kWh) and the $0.48/kWh public average. Gas figure uses 30 mpg combined and $4.10 per gallon (AAA, November 2026). Fuel costs only — purchase price, insurance and maintenance are not included.
Electricity prices vary enormously by state. The table below shows what a full 0–100% home charge of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 costs in the ten biggest EV states, at each state's average residential rate (EIA, August 2026).
| State | Rate ($/kWh) | Full home charge |
|---|---|---|
| California | $0.297 | $23.80 |
| Texas | $0.159 | $12.73 |
| Florida | $0.150 | $11.99 |
| Washington | $0.146 | $11.70 |
| New York | $0.286 | $22.92 |
| Arizona | $0.150 | $12.04 |
| Colorado | $0.172 | $13.74 |
| Oregon | $0.159 | $12.74 |
| New Jersey | $0.246 | $19.69 |
| Georgia | $0.159 | $12.72 |
| US average | $0.180 | $14.40 |
A full 0–100% home charge of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range RWD (84 kWh, 2025) costs about $14.40 at the US average residential rate of $0.18 per kWh (EIA, August 2026). At a public DC fast charger, the same charge costs about $38.40 at the national average of $0.48 per kWh.
About $0.051 per mile on home charging alone, or about $0.069 per mile on a typical mix of 80% home and 20% public charging. Driving 1,000 miles a month costs about $68.57 on that mix, or about $822.86 a year for 12,000 miles.
On a DC fast charger, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 goes from 10% to 80% in ~18 minutes at up to 240 kW. At home on a Level 2 charger, a full charge takes roughly 7 to 10 hours overnight, depending on your charger's power.
Yes — for almost every EV owner. Home electricity averages about $0.18 per kWh in the US, while public fast charging averages about $0.48 per kWh. A home Level 2 charger typically costs $500 to $1,500 installed (before any utility rebates), and most owners recover that cost in one to two years of fuel savings.
Among large EV states, Washington is cheapest at about $0.146 per kWh, followed by Florida at $0.150 and Texas at $0.159. California is the most expensive large state at about $0.298 per kWh. Your state can change your monthly charging bill by $40 or more.
The Ioniq 5 uses an 800-volt electrical architecture, while most EVs use 400 volts. The higher voltage lets the car accept up to about 240 kW from a DC fast charger, so it goes from 10% to 80% in about 18 minutes on a 350 kW charger. Most 400-volt rivals need 30 to 40 minutes for the same charge. You only get the full speed on a powerful 350 kW charger, though — on a 150 kW charger it is slower.
Estimates only. Battery capacity is usable capacity (usable); Tesla does not publish usable capacity, so Tesla figures are widely reported estimates. Electricity rates are statewide averages from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (August 2026); your utility, rate plan, time of use, taxes and fees will change your actual bill. Public charging at $0.48/kWh is a national average estimate. EPA range and efficiency are estimates for the Long Range RWD (84 kWh, 2025) trim; real-world figures vary with speed, temperature, terrain and driving style.
