What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2024 Genesis GV60?
A full charge takes 8.0 hours on Level 2 equipment. That speed easily covers an overnight refill for your 294 mile battery pack. You need a 48 amp charger to hit that speed. Anything smaller leaves range on the table.
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 37 miles |
| Full charge on a 120 V outlet | about 61 hours |
| Range added per hour (120 V) | about 4.8 miles |
| EPA rated range | 294 miles |
| Energy for a full charge | about 88.2 kWh at the wall |
Why 48 amps and not more
Your car accepts a maximum of 48 amps of alternating current. Buying a 60 amp or 80 amp charger changes nothing because the onboard hardware caps the intake at 48 amps anyway. Matching this limit adds 37 miles of range for every hour plugged in. Pushing past this limit wastes money on hardware the vehicle cannot use. Stick to the 48 amp ceiling.
What the install involves
Delivering 48 amps requires a 60 amp breaker paired with heavy gauge copper wire. You cannot use a standard wall outlet for this setup because receptacles fail under continuous high loads. Hardwiring the charger directly to the electrical panel prevents melted plugs and fire hazards. Hire a licensed electrician to run the line and mount the unit.

Common questions
- Can I plug this car into a normal wall outlet?
- You can plug into a standard household outlet for Level 1 charging, but it takes 61 hours to reach full. You get 4.8 miles of range per hour of charging. That speed works only for very low daily mileage.
- What plug type does the car use?
- Every non Tesla EV sold in North America through 2024 uses the J1772 connector for AC Level 2 charging. Your car connects directly to standard J1772 cables without adapters. Public stations using this plug work too.
- Why does the EPA rating show a different charge time?
- The EPA test does not always run at the car's peak AC rate. Their testing procedures yield a 7.2 hour time at 41 miles per hour. Real world maximum output reaches 8.0 hours for a complete fill.
- Do I need a permit for the electrical installation?
- Most local municipalities require a permit and inspection for a new 60 amp circuit. Your electrician should pull this permit before starting work. Skipping permits can cause issues with home insurance policies.
Other vehicles
Charging times derived from EPA data for the 2024 Genesis GV60 (covering 2 EPA trim listings). Electrical requirements follow NEC 625.41, which sizes a circuit at 125% of a continuous load. Always have a licensed electrician verify your panel.
