Choosing the right plug for your home

Make sure the plug type you choose matches the outlet type you have at home. While many outlets look similar, they are definitely not the same. The one called NEMA 5-15 is the regular 120V household outlet that all home appliances use, while other outlet types, such as the 14-50 or 6-50 (The two most popular EV Charging Outlets), get installed specifically for appliances or EV Chargers that require 240V. That said, there are more 240V outlet types that are commonly used, such as the NEMA 14-30, 6-30, 6-20, L14-30, and more.

Overview

The Kia EV 6 is the iconic debut EV from Kia.  The ride quality, interior and electric range, as well as price point, combine to form a competitive all electric vehicle in one package.

Kia chargers are in high demand.  Kia EV owners seek faster and more flexible EV charging solutions.   Many Kia EV owners have bought their vehicle or are lease vehicles and seek faster Kia EV6 chargers than conventional level 1 EV chargers.  Many find commercial charging stations are broken, unreliable or too inconveniently located.

The current Kia EV6, for residential EV charging, is an EV charger that works at level 1 (power level) J1772 (connector type for connection to the charging port) or a level 2 J1722 EV charger.   The charging rate is 9.6 kilowatts per hour, which is the maximum charging rate for a Kia EV6 charger at 240 volt of charging.

Best charging locations for a EV Chargers Compatible with Kia EV6

EV owners by far and away prefer to charge at home with the convenience of home level 1 or level 2 charging – this is called destination charging since one can charge where you land/park (so to speak).

Charging an EV is much cheaper at home.  We always recommend residential aka destination charging if that is an option.  It is much cheaper, approximately 50% cheaper compared to commercial charging locations.

Most commercial EV charging stations are compatible.  In your app, look for commercial CCS 1 EV chargers.  Your Kia EV 6 will not charge and is not compatible with CHAdeMO commercial chargers.  It is problematic due to connectivity issues, compatibility issues and broken EV chargers.   You may also charge in commercial locations (generally level 2 EV charging) plugged in when at level 2 EV charging stations that are business owners (AirBnB, MedSpas, Hotels etc.).   Of most EV charger types, the 14-50 EV chargers can also be used in campgrounds and RV parks.  14-50 EV plug types are increasingly installed in new homes or by other EV owners.
