What home charger does the Genesis Electrified G80 need?
| Model years | Trims | Charger | Breaker |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-2026 | all trims | 48 A | 60 A |
The Genesis Electrified G80 accepts 11.0 kW, which calls for a 48 A charger on a 60 A breaker. That is the answer for 2023 through 2026.
Why 48 amps and not more
A charger bigger than 48 A can't speed it up, because the sedan limits what it takes. A 40 A charger can slow it down: a 2026 adds 26 miles of range per hour on 40 A against 31 on 48 A. On a car driven a normal daily distance, that difference rarely shows.
Charging time by model year
| Year | EPA range | Level 2, miles per hour | Level 2, empty to full | 120 V, miles per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 300 mi | 31 | 9.5 h | 4.1 |
| 2025 | 282 mi | 31 | 9 h | 4.1 |
| 2024 | 282 mi | 31 | 9 h | 4.1 |
| 2023 | 282 mi | 33 | 8.6 h | 4.3 |
Level 2 figures assume a charger that supplies the car's full rate. Where a year shows a range, it spans that year's trims.
The 2026 car got a range bump to 300 miles, up from 282, and takes a little longer to fill as a result: 9.5 hours from empty against 9 hours for the 2024 and 2025 cars. The 2023 car is quickest at 8.6 hours and adds 33 miles of range per hour.
What the install involves
Hardwiring is the only option at 48 A, since no household receptacle carries that rating, and it has a side benefit: there is no plug to wear loose over years of nightly charging. The circuit gets a 60 A breaker. Ask the electrician to check the panel first if the house also has an electric range and dryer.
- 48 A charger: 60 A breaker, hardwired, because no household receptacle is rated for a 48 A charger.
- Charge port, 2023-2024: J1772. Every non-Tesla EV sold in North America through 2024 uses the J1772 connector for AC Level 2 charging.
- Charge port, 2025-2026: J1772. From 2025 the industry is moving to the NACS port, and makers switch at different times. Some of these cars have a J1772 port and some have NACS with an adapter, so look at the port on your own car before choosing a charger's plug.
Chargers that fit the Genesis Electrified G80
Smallest adequate unit first. Every amp above what the car accepts is capacity it never uses.
Energy monitoring built in. Hardwire it for the full 48 A.
Compact unit, good for tight garages.
Adjustable from 16 A to 50 A in the app, which helps if your panel is tight.
