Yes, like with most electric vehicles you can charge your Kia in emergencies using a 3-pin charger. However, this method of charging is extremely slow and inefficient, so we recommend using a dedicated charger instead. It will be significantly harder to charge a Kia EV with a 3-pin charger than a PHEV.

The precise cost to fully charge your Kia will depend on your energy prices and model, but it will typically cost around £8.35 for a full charge for an EV. For a PHEV, it will typically cost around £2.38-£3.

The time it takes to fully charge your Kia will depend on your model, your charger and the charging cable you are using.

In general, to charge your Kia EV from empty to full, it will take:
● Between 34.5 - 39 hours using a 3kW emergency 3-pin charger
● Between 9 – 10.5 hours using a 7kW charger
● Between 2.9 – 3.3 hours using a 22kW charger
● Between 1.2 -1.45 hours using a rapid 50kW charger

For a Kia PHEV it will take an average of:
● Between 4-6 hours using a 3kW emergency 3-pin charger
● Between 4-5 hours using a 7kW charger
● 4 hours using a 22kW charger

Note that Kia PHEVs are not compatible with rapid chargers.

No, Kia electric vehicles can be charged using standard electric vehicle charging cables with compatible connectors.
