Niro EV Charging – Connecting & Disconnecting Video
Charging the Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle (Plug-In Hybrid Only)
Level 1 Charging – “Trickle” Charge
A Level 1 or “trickle” charger is the most common type of charging system for a Plug-In Hybrid. This type of
charger uses 110 volts of household electricity and takes up to 9 hours for a full charge.
Trickle Charger Indicators:
A 12 0 VA C plug
B Power – When the charger and AC plug is
plugged in and functioning normally, the
indicator will turn green. Indicator is red if plug
temperature sensor warning is present
C Charge – Indicates that the vehicle is charging
D Fault – Indicates charge failure
E Charge Level – Indicates the level of charge:
L (8A), M (10A), or H (12A)

Level 2 Charging – “Normal” Charge
A Level 2 or “normal” 240-volt charger is the recommended charging system for the Plug-In Hybrid.
This type of charger uses 240 volts of electricity and takes approximately 2.5-3 hours for a full charge
(Based on Kia Motors Corporation testing with SAE J1772 charger performed at 3.3kW ). This charger
may be able to be installed at your home or found at a public charging station.
REMINDER: Shape of charger and how to use the charger may be different for each manufacturer. Please see Owner’s Manual for more information.
