As public charging infrastructure continues to expand, charging your Kia EV has become faster and more convenient than ever before. Say goodbye to range anxiety and plug into the convenience of public charging.

AC & DC Charging

With the increasing adoption of EVs, the public charging infrastructure continues to expand. Many shopping malls, office buildings and housing developments are installed with AC and DC chargers. Charging your Kia EV has become more convenient than ever.

AC Charging: Charging at 3 kW to 22 kW

AC charging is a popular and common charging method for EVs. It is most ideal to charge at home or at work, as it typically takes longer than DC charging.

DC Charging: Charging at 50 kW to 200 kW

The fastest way to charge your EV - at a public DC fast charging station with 50 kW or higher. With this, you can charge-up your battery from 20% to 80% in approximately 40 minutes.

* Each charger type has an associated set of connectors which are designed for low or high-power use, and for either AC or DC charging. But in practice, you only need to make sure you’re using a charging point with a connector that fits your electric vehicle. While your location, connectors and charging time may vary, the principle is always the same simple one: Park up, plug in … and that’s it!

FAQ

First, park your EV at a location that allows easy access to the charging port and open the port. Next, connect the appropriate charging connector to the port and select the desired charge amount. You can then pay for the charge using credit card, debit card, or charging application. After the charging is complete, simply disconnect the connector and return it to its original place.
Kia EVs can be charged using both AC and DC charging methods. AC charging is available at home and public charging stations, while DC charging is only available at public charging stations due to its fast charging speed. Charger type may vary by region and country. For AC charging, Type 2 chargers can be used, while CCS2 chargers can be used for DC charging.
Slow charging charges the battery at a constant rate slowly and it helps to prolong battery life. On the other hand, fast charging charges the battery quickly and it can affect the battery life if done frequently.
It is advisable to avoid overcharging (more than 80%) and over discharging (less than 20%) to prolong the battery's lifespan. Keeping the State of Charge (SoC) between 30% and 70% is recommended for optimal battery usage.
