There are three charging levels you’ll need to know about when you buy a Kia electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV). Choose from a Kia EV6 or Kia EV9 for some of the top technology. Or, go for a Kia Niro EV to get everything you love about the Niro but only in electric form. Our PHEVs include a Sorento, Sportage, or Niro, in addition to the traditional gasoline-only versions.
One thing you need to know about is the Kia EV charger, whether you charge at home or on the road. Read our guide to learn more details from Kearny Mesa Kia.
You’re in luck because the Kia EV charger uses the same standard as many other manufacturers. For at-home charging or public charging stations around town using Level 2, the kind of charger Kia uses is the universal J1772 connector. When you want DC Fast Charging (Level 3) when you’re in a hurry in San Diego or on a road trip, look for CCS charging stations. This kind of charger Kia uses can give a Niro EV an 80% charge in 54 minutes with a 100 kW charger. We recommend ChargePoint as a Kia EV charger network. However, many other charging stations have this standard.
We recommend three different brands of Kia EV chargers to use at home.
No, there is no way you can charge a Kia at a Tesla charging station. Tesla uses its own proprietary connector that is different from the CCS connector Kia uses. But that’s okay because the charging plug that Kia uses is universal with many other charging stations across the country. No matter how hard you try, you never can charge a Kia at a Tesla charging station. You’ll get much cheaper refueling costs than with gasoline.
