We got in a wreck with our 2019 Ioniq and just bought the 2020 one yesterday. I have the impression that we were stuck with slow 120V charging before, and that's still going to be the case with the 2020 Ioniq. Both are Limited, for whatever that is worth. So 7-8 hours to get a full charge. Is there any way we can charge faster? I'm hoping we misunderstood it the whole time and it's just a matter of getting a different charging cable, etc.

You need to install a Level 2 charger (officially called EVSE, Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) in your garage or on an outside wall near your driveway. It supplies 240V at increased amperage to charge the car faster than a normal wall socket can manage.
The Plug-in Hybrid Ioniq has a peak charging speed of 3.5 kW (14.6 amps at 240V), so an EVSE installed on a 20A breaker will charge your car at its fastest rate in about 2 hours and 15 minutes from empty. I would suggest getting at least a 32A EVSE on a 40A breaker to be future proof. Many big box hardware stores carry them these days, but you'll need a permit and an inspection for the install. Hiring a licensed electrician to do the work is the best way to ensure that it's all done safely and legally.
