What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2024 Genesis Electrified GV70?
Many owners waste money on a sixty amp charger that this car cannot use. The Electrified GV70 draws forty eight amps at most on AC power. Buy a forty eight amp unit and skip the oversized hardware.
The numbers
| Maximum AC charging rate | 11.0 kW (48 A) |
|---|---|
| Charger size to buy | 48 A |
| Circuit breaker required | 60 A |
| Outlet / connection | hardwired (a 48 A EVSE must be hardwired -- no household receptacle is rated for it) |
| Charge port | J1772 |
| Full charge on Level 2 | about 8.0 hours |
| Range added per hour (Level 2) | about 30 miles |
| Full charge on a 120 V outlet | about 61 hours |
| Range added per hour (120 V) | about 3.9 miles |
| EPA rated range | 236 miles |
| Energy for a full charge | about 87.7 kWh at the wall |
Why 48 amps and not more
Your battery holds 87.7 kWh of energy. The onboard charger caps power draw at 11.0 kW. Feeding it a larger charger changes nothing because the car limits the intake. A 48 amp EVSE pushes 30 miles of range into the pack every hour. You get a full charge from zero in 8.0 hours. Anything bigger sits idle.
What the install involves
Wiring a 48 amp continuous load requires a 60 amp breaker. National electrical code prohibits using a standard wall receptacle for this load level. You must hardwire the unit directly to the supply line. Call an electrician to run heavy gauge wire from your panel to the garage wall.

Common questions
- Do I need a professional electrician for this install?
- Yes. A hardwired 48 amp circuit requires heavy cable and a 60 amp breaker installed to code.
- What connector does the car use?
- It uses a standard J1772 connector. Every non Tesla EV sold in North America through 2024 uses this port for Level 2 charging.
- How long does a standard wall outlet take?
- A basic Level 1 plug takes 61 hours for a full charge. It only adds 3.9 miles of range per hour.
- Why does the EPA charge time differ slightly?
- The EPA test took 7.9 hours at 30 mph due to standard test variations. Real world full charging takes 8.0 hours at 30 miles per hour.
Other vehicles
Charging times derived from EPA data for the 2024 Genesis Electrified GV70. Electrical requirements follow NEC 625.41, which sizes a circuit at 125% of a continuous load. Always have a licensed electrician verify your panel.
