Kia home EV chargers
Find home EV charger options for Kia electric vehicles including the EV5 and EV6.
Kia's current Australian battery-electric range uses Type 2 AC charging, but maximum AC charging rates vary by model and variant. For example, the current EV5 Standard Range is specified at 6.6 kW single-phase, while supported Long Range configurations can use up to 11 kW three-phase AC charging.
Other Kia EVs also have model-specific onboard AC limits, so the wallbox should be matched to the vehicle and the home's electrical supply. A 22 kW charger does not make a vehicle with a lower onboard AC limit charge at 22 kW.
For a charger recommendation, home supply, switchboard capacity, solar, parking location and daily charging needs are more useful than the vehicle brand alone.

Kia EV charging FAQs
Do I need a special cable to charge my Kia at home?
Current Kia battery-electric models covered on this page use Type 2 for AC charging. With a tethered home charger, the Type 2 cable is attached to the charger. With a socketed charger, you need a separate Type 2 to Type 2 cable. For portable charging, use charging equipment approved for the vehicle.
How do I choose a home charger for my Kia?
There is no single home charger that is right for every Kia. Match the charger's electrical phase and output to your vehicle's onboard AC limit and your home's available supply, then consider solar, load management, cable length, parking location and connected features. Use Find My Charger to narrow the options for your vehicle and home.
Can Kia EVs use standard Type 2 home chargers?
Yes. Current Kia battery-electric models covered on this page can use a correctly installed Type 2 AC home charger. Charging power depends on the specific Kia model and variant, the site's electrical supply and the charger configuration.
How fast can I charge my Kia at home?
Kia AC charging limits vary by model and variant. Current Australian examples range from about 6.6 to 7 kW on single-phase configurations to around 10.5 to 11 kW on supported three-phase configurations. Check the exact vehicle specification before choosing the charger rating.
Can I charge my Kia from a regular power point?
Yes, where the vehicle is used with compatible portable charging equipment. A standard Australian power point provides much less power than a dedicated wall charger, so charging takes longer, but it may still cover some daily driving needs. Plug the charging equipment directly into a suitable outlet rather than using an extension lead or power board. A dedicated home charger must be installed by a licensed electrician.
