Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid EV Chargers

The Kia Sportage plug-in hybrid is one of America’s most popular plug-ins. Kia has rapidly expanded its plug-in hybrid range to provide the best of EV and gasoline. Most owners are supplied with a manufacturer-supplied EV charger and a common question from owners is how often do you need to charge a plug-in hybrid Kia Sportage? The Kia Sportage has a battery size of 14 kWh, which is 2x the size of most typical batteries. Charge times with type 1 EV chargers can be too long and owners look to upgrade to level 2 EV Chargers.

How often do you need to charge a plug-in hybrid?

Common questions around Kia Sportage around how often you need to charge a plug-in hybrid and whether it can be done faster. The answer depends on two factors (1) How often do you drive (2) How much power does the EV charger have? Assuming you make the same miles as the average American, which is reportedly 60 miles per day, then the answer is twice per day typically to charge your Kia Sportage. This assumes you are using a level 2 EV charger which will charge the vehicle in 2 hours instead of 10 hours with a regular home outlet 12 amp level 1 EV charger.

Why upgrade your Kia Sportage charger?

The main benefit of upgrading your EV charger to a level 2 EV Charger is you will enjoy the peace and acceleration of an electric drive and the cost savings of electric charges compared to gasoline.

Charger length

Our 25-foot option is the most popular but the 32-foot is ideal for large garages or driveway parking. This provides flexibility in terms of where you can park on the driveway, on the other side of the garage etc.

Where you can charge
