Important limits

  • Reducing current increases charging time.
  • Some high-capacity AC chargers may show little or no change because of charger and vehicle current limits.
  • Do not use this setting to work around a hot, damaged, loose or improperly installed outlet or charger.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If charging still stops, try a known-good compatible charger rather than repeatedly reconnecting suspect equipment.
  • ✓If a plug, cable or outlet is hot or smells burnt, stop immediately and have the electrical equipment inspected.
  • ✓If multiple chargers fail at every current setting, have an authorized Kia dealer inspect the EV9.
