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.

In 2021, Kia announced the introduction of the Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) SUV which claims to have an EV range of 32 miles and claims to return a combined EPA of 79 mpg-e. The PHEV is powered by a 13.3kW battery pack and an on-board acceptance charge of 3.3kW/h. It is compatible with a Type 1 J1772 charger connector which is offered via both Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging, which we explain more about in the guide below.

For battery preservation, the recommended charging range is from 20% to 80%, as charging typically slows outside of this range to protect the battery**.** This may also potentially result in reduced performance.
The main reason EV owners upgrade their chargers from a manufacturers Level 1 charger to a Level 2 charger is due to the reduction in charging time. For a vehicle like the Kia Sorento PHEV (2021), Level 2 charging ensures owners can fully benefit from the electric range available from their PHEV and save money on gasoline miles, whilst enjoying the satisfaction of EV acceleration and cleaner emissions.
The Kia Sorento PHEV can be charged with a Type 1 J1772 charger connector, which can be performed at home, work or a Level 2 public charging station. The vehicles alternating current (AC) is determined by the cars on-board internal software and for the Kia Sorrento this is 3.3kW/h. The car won’t let any input above this rate in order to protect the longevity of the battery.
When using a Type 1 J1772 charger connector, it is important to consider the length of the charging cable, especially for tethered charging options with WiFi and 4G capabilities.
At EV Chargers, we supply a range of chargers to cater for all EV owners. Our most popular product for the Kia Sorento PHEV is the Level 2, 240-volt NEMA 14-50 40amp as this gives the fastest charge alongside the NEMA 6-50. Another popular EV charger in our range is the 14-30 EV plug given it uses a standard domestic residential 4-pin plug type which most households already use for heavy duty electrical appliances.
The Kia Sorento PHEV can be charged at home, at work or any location where there are Level 2 EV charging stations such as strip malls, car parks or City owned installations. Most EV owners tend to charge at home due to lower costs of overnight electricity rates and the convenience of home charging. Overnight stay locations such as camp grounds, RV parks and other stay over locations also have charging facilities where the 14-50 receptacle is the most common.
You can only charge the Kia Sorento at Level 2 commercial charging stations, not at DC Fast charging stations.
The fastest available charging option is a Level 2, 240-volt (32 amp or 40 amp) charger which we supply as either 14-50 or 6-50 EV chargers.
The Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid uses a Type 1 SAE J1772 connector. There are currently no options for Kia PHEVs to use NACs charger connector.
Generally not, it will take around 11.5 hours to charge the battery from empty therefore It reduces the available electric miles of your EV since your battery is unlikely to be fully charged.
Our most popular charging option is the Level 2 14-50 240-volt EV charger as this offers the fastest charging rate, it provides a full charge for your EV within 2.5 hours.
Speed, cost and convenience. The capability to complete charge at overnight lower cost rates will allow EV owners to fully benefit from all factors of electric-driving.
The Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid maximum alternating current (AC) charge rate is 3.3 kW/h currently. Future versions of this PHEV may have higher power acceptance settings to enable faster charging.
