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.

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.

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 |

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.
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.
The majority of EV owners will opt to charge their vehicle at home as a result of the added convenience, speed of charging, and comfort of using their own charging unit. Additionally, owners can plug in at various locations such as the workplace, supermarkets, and parking areas, providing flexibility and convenience. 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. There is added complexity around the commercial chargers available to EV owners such as compatibility issues and connectivity issues which can confuse EV owners and result in home charging their vehicle.
The cost of charging your Kia Soul will differ depending on a number of variables, however mainly due to: location of charge being either residential or commercial, time of day and U.S. State of residence. The charging cost table below uses the U.S. current averages for residential electricity of 20 ¢/kWh. Below assumes 243-mile EV range of the Kia Soul
| Place | |
|---|---|
| Home (empty to full)* | Commercial Chargers ** |
| Average Cost | |
|---|---|
| ~$13 | ~$26 |
| Cost/Mile | |
|---|---|
| $0.06¢ / mile | $0.11¢ / mile |
* Assumes 0.20 ¢/kWh average U.S. tariff. Residential tariffs vary by State.
** Assumes 0.40 ¢/kWh tariff for most Level 2 (AC) or Level 3 (DC) network EV chargers in 2024.
