Hyundai Extends Charging Offer to All 2025 Ioniq 5 SUVs

In September 2024, Hyundai announced a program that provides 2025 Ioniq 5 N buyers with their choice of a free Level 2 home charging station or a $450 credit to use at certain public chargers. Now, the brand is opening up the offer to buyers of any 2025 Ioniq 5, not just the high-performance version.

This modified version of the program reduces the charging credit to $400, which can be redeemed via the ChargePoint mobile app. ChargePoint is the largest public-charging network in the U.S., with nearly 67,000 plugs spread across more than 37,000 locations. The credits must be used within two years.

Your Costs May Vary
To shoppers who are just beginning to consider an electric vehicle, the decision between credits and a home charger might seem like a no-brainer. Obviously, you choose the charging station, right? But home chargers are not as expensive as one might think; the ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 unit that Hyundai is offering retails for $549. And, while installation of the charger must be performed by a Hyundai-approved contractor, the brand only provides the unit and does not cover installation costs and fees.
Those can vary wildly, depending on the specifics of your home. When Cars.com paid to install Level 2 chargers at six editors’ homes, installation and permitting costs ranged from $995 to $6,170 and averaged $3,145. (That priciest job required extensive upgrading of an older house’s electrical service.) But home charging is vastly cheaper than public charging, which can be twice as expensive per mile or more. In the long run, charging at home will save EV owners money — not to mention the convenience of doing so at home versus driving to and waiting at a public plug.
Changing Times
With the fate of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit uncertain, incentives such as Hyundai’s could become increasingly important for keeping EV demand high. Many automakers have similar programs, either offering credits, free charging for a certain amount of time at a specific network, free home chargers, or credit toward the purchase and installation of one. If you’re shopping for an EV, be sure to understand what, if any, offers are available for the vehicles you’re considering.
