EV Charging Methods

Whether you decide to charge up at home or in public, there are various charging options available. For example, for residential charging, a Level 2 setup requires an outlet and electrical components specifically designed for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). Public charging stations typically feature a CCS (Combined Charging System) connector for general use.

Public Charging

Level 2 public chargers are conveniently located in shopping malls, grocery stores, and parks. When looking for a spot, the Kia Connect mobile app is especially helpful in finding nearby public charging stations that are compatible with various connector types to accommodate different EVs. Level 3 DC fast chargers, widely available across the country, provide rapid fast charging capabilities with a direct current of electricity. These fast chargers are more rare than Level 2 chargers but offer a quick and efficient solution.

Home Charging

Level 1 charging cables are designed for standard 120-volt electrical outlets, providing a slow but steady charge. Despite the convenience of overnight charging however, it offers only incremental boosts to the battery, making it impractical for rapidly charging in time-sensitive situations. An additional method,  Level 2 charging, utilizes a 240-volt outlet, and is nearly nine times faster than Level 1 charging. For home installation, a licensed electrician may be needed to hardwire the outlet. Renters and those in multi-unit dwellings may face challenges in establishing home charging, but some apartment complexes are incorporating charging stations.
