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 2022, Kia introduced the Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid, expanding its lineup of electric vehicles, which includes models like the EV6, Niro EV, and Soul EV. Since its introduction, it has become one of America’s most popular Plug-In Hybrids, winning the Best Hybrid SUV for the Money award. The Sportage is compatible with a Level 1 or a Level 2 J1772 EV charger for its 66.9-kW electric motor. We have been asked numerous questions surrounding Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid EV charging so we have produced this guide to give you all the answers in one place.

For battery preservation, the ideal charging range of the battery is from 20% to 80%, as charging tends to slow outside this range to protect the battery and avoid exhaustive performance issues.
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.
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.
We offer charger types to suit all EV owners preferences and enable them to effectively charge around their lifestyles. Our most popular EV Charger NEMA 14-50 40amp offers the fastest Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid charging time. However, another popular charger is the 14-30 EV plug since it’s a 240-Volt Level 2 charger which charges via plug types commonly used in garages for heavy duty appliances.
The majority of EV owners opt to charge at home due to the convenience and lower costs of home EV charging. However, owners may charge Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid conveniently at home, at work where there are level 2 EV charging stations or at places such as strip malls, car parks and City owned installations. 14-50 EV chargers can also be used in camp grounds, RV parks and other stay over locations where the 14-50 receptacle is more common.
The cost of charging your EV will depend on various factors such as the location (residential or commercial), State where you’re charging in, the time of day or charting power. Below are the costs depending on location. In California, peak electricity is much more than the U.S. current averages for electricity of 20 ¢/kWh used in the calculation below.

* Assumes avg. U.S. tariff of 20 ¢/kWh. Home charging costs will vary state by state depending on electricity costs
** Assumes tariff of 50 ¢/kWh applicable to most commercial Level 2 network EV chargers
Charging your Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid can be performed at Level 2 commercial charging stations, PHEV’s cannot be charged by DC Fast chargers.
The fastest available charging option is a 32 amp or 40 amp, 240-volt charger which we offer as 14-50 and 6-50 EV chargers.
The Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid uses a J1772 Type 1 connector. There are currently no options for Kia EV to use NACs charger connector.
Although compatible with Level 1 chargers, this will depend on the users lifestyle as the duration to fully charge (9.2 hours) will limit your ability to fully charge the vehicle and subsequently restricting electric driving.
The most popular charging option is the Level 2 14-50 240-volt EV charger as this will charge your EV to full capacity within 2 hours.
A level 2 240 volt charger will allow owners to take advantage of favourable charging times, cost and added convenience which are limited by level 1 charging options. Ability for a complete charge at overnight lower cost rates will allow EV owners to fully benefit from all factors of electric-driving.
The Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid power acceptance rate is limited to 7.2 kilowatts per hour currently. Future versions may have higher power acceptance settings to enable faster charging.
