Kia Niro Charger

Kia Niro Charging & Range

The Niro EV features a 64.0-kWh battery with fast charging at a rate of 7.4 kW on a level 2 EV charger and up to 7.7 kW using a DC fast charger, enabling the Niro to charge to 80% in less than an hour. The Niro EV has an EPA-estimated range of 239 miles. Using the included level 1 charger, the Niro can charge from empty to 100% capacity in around 60 hours. The charging time is drastically reduced with the use of a more powerful level 2 EV charging station, like the JuiceBox 32 or 40. With a level 2 charger, the Niro can be fully charged in around 9 hours.

The Kia Niro PHEV is a good option for drivers who want to drive cleaner but require the additional range of a gas-powered engine. The plug-in hybrid Niro can charge using the same charging station as the fully electric model. Using a level 1 charger, it takes around six hours to fully replenish the 26-mile range. With a level 2 charger, the Kia Niro PHEV can fully charge in 2.5 hours, enabling drivers to charge at home during the night or at work during the day and have enough juice to make it to work or back home on purely battery power.

Level 3 DC fast charging: CCS

The Kia Niro EV has DC fast charging capabilities, and charges at a rate of up to 77 kW, which allows the Niro to recharge up to 80% in about 60 minutes. The Niro uses the SAE Combined Charging Connector (CCS) for level 3 DC fast charge.
