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.

Why upgrade your EV Chargers Compatible with Kia Sportage

As shown per the table above, the charge time of your Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid with a manufacturers Level 1 (120-Volt) charger is 9.2 hours. However, upgrading to a Level 2 home (240-Volt) charger significantly reduces the charge time to 2 hours. To optimize your EV charging experience by maximizing charging speed, avoiding long queues at commercial charging stations, and ensuring a full overnight charge when electricity rates are lower (in some states, super off-peak charging can be as much as 40% cheaper than peak times), we recommend our NEMA 14-50 40 amp 9.6 kWh Kia Sportage EV Charger.

Connector type and charging rates

Owners of a Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid can charge the EV with a Type 1 SAE J1772 charger connector from the comfort of their own home, at work or at a public charging point. The maximum alternating current (AC) charge rate is 7.2 kW/hour. The EV internal software will not allow you overcharge the cars battery, it will automatically determine the available charge space and take the charge it is rated for.
