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 EV Chargers Compatible with Kia Soul

The Kia Soul second-generation EV has significantly boosted Kia’s competitiveness in the EV market, with improved equipment, larger battery sizes and advanced car connected systems.

The first-generation Kia Soul EV had a 27 kW/h battery which provided 93-mile electric range whereby the second-generation boosts an impressive 243-miles from its 64kW/h battery. The development of the battery size has brought improvements in the performance and efficiency of the vehicle, not only the advancements in electric range.

The Kia Soul EV is fitted with a J1772 Type 1 connector which enhances the EVs compatibility with Level 1, Level 2 and DC Fast charging, which are further explained within this guide. Additionally, the CCS charging standard is supported, utilizing a CCS connector for both AC and DC charging. This allows for faster charging capabilities, especially with rapid DC charging. Charging time for the Kia Soul EV varies depending on the method used, with rapid charging significantly reducing the duration compared to slow or fast charging.

The power acceptance rate of the Kia Soul EV is limited to its 7.2kW rated output which means the EV will only be able to charge at this maximum rate.

Overall the changes made to the second-generation Kia Soul EV make this a much more attractive and practical option for potential EV buyers. This guide provides valuable insight into the EVs performance on electric range, charging durations and potential costs.

EV Charging times for EV Chargers Compatible with Kia Soul

Rapid DC Charging

We have created a table which shows the charging times of the Kia Soul EV, assuming the charge time is from an empty battery to full, including its 7.2 kW on-board charger that supports Type 2 AC charging and a combined AC and DC inlet port. This table compares charge times for different EV plug types. Fast charger and rapid charging options can significantly reduce charging times, especially at public charge points:

Plug Type
Level 1 – 5-15 (regular 3 pin) 120 volt
Level 2 – 14-30 (4 pin electric dryer type) 240 volt
Level – 14-50 (4 pin EV Plug) 240 volt
Battery Size (kWh)
64 kWh

Cost per Charge
1.9KW/hour @ 12 amps
5.5 KW/hour @ 24 amps
9.6 KW/hour @ 40 amps
EV Charge Time
~34 hours
~12 hours
~7 hours

EV owners will typically charge their vehicle between 20% to 80% to protect the battery and the longevity of its performance. It is common for EV owners to charge their vehicle from a low of 20% battery, therefore reducing charging times significantly with slow charging methods.

Connector type and charging rates

The Kia Soul is charged via a Type 1 J1772 charger connector which can be performed at home, at work or a public charging point that has level 2 commercial charging facilities. The Kia Soul has a maximum charge rate of 7.2kW/h which is the EV’s maximum alternating current (AC) determined by the onboard software. The Kia Soul EV’s CCS (Combined Charging System) includes an inlet port designed for both combined AC and rapid DC charging, allowing for different charging speeds and types at home and public charging stations. The recommended charger for the Kia Soul is a Level 2 40-amp 9.6kW/h EV charger as this will maximize the efficiency of charging this vehicle.

However, this is often costly, time-consuming and inconvenient.

This also allows owners to benefit from charging at preferential residential rates and utilizing lower overnight electricity rates, as opposed to commercial charging rates.
