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 – Indicates that the charger and AC plug
is plugged in and functioning .
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)
F ICCB – In-Cable Control Box
REMINDER: Do not use an extension cord . Plug Trickle charger directly into wall socket . Do not charge to a receptacle that is old, damaged, corroded or cracked
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
