The Ideal Charging Solutions for your Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid: Essential Information
The Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid is equipped with the most common European charging standard for AC charging, making charging both at home and at public charging stations simple and universal. The charging port is located on the right rear of the vehicle.
-
AC charging (Alternating Current): For charging at home and at public charging stations, the Kia Sportage PHEV uses a Type 2 connector . This is the standardized European connector for AC charging, also known as the Mennekes plug. Our Type 2 charging cables and home chargers are fully compatible and ensure a safe and efficient charging connection.
-
DC fast charging (Direct Current): It's important to note that the Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid does not support DC fast charging . The focus is entirely on efficient AC charging, which is the most common and sufficient method for a PHEV to charge the relatively smaller battery. You therefore do not need a CCS2 cable for your Sportage PHEV.
Charging speed of your Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid: Optimal and Daily Charging
Understanding your Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid's charging speeds helps you choose the right charging solutions to optimally and efficiently charge the battery. The Kia Sportage PHEV has a gross battery capacity of 13.8 kWh , of which approximately 11 kWh is usable . Its electric range (WLTP) is an impressive 70 to 78 km, depending on driving conditions (city vs. combined).
-
Maximum AC charging speed (Home and Public): The Kia Sportage PHEV can charge via AC at a maximum power of 7.2 kW (single-phase, 32A). This means you can fully utilize the maximum AC charging speed of your Sportage PHEV with a suitable single-phase home charger or public charging station. This will fully charge the 11 kWh usable battery from 0% to 100% in approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours .
- For comparison, with a 3.7 kW charger, it takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes. With a standard household socket (2.3 kW), it takes about 5 hours and 45 minutes. This is perfect for quickly fully charging your Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid between journeys or overnight, so it's ready for your electric journeys every morning. Our Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid home chargers and charging cables are designed to efficiently support this maximum charging speed. Although the car can be connected to a 3-phase charging station (e.g., 11 kW or 22 kW), the Sportage PHEV's on-board charger will not exceed the maximum charging speed of 7.2 kW (1-phase).
Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid Charging Cables for Charging Stations
A high-quality and reliable Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid charging cable is an essential accessory for efficient charging at public charging stations and your own home charging station. Our Type 2 charging cables are top-quality and ensure a safe, stable, and efficient charging connection.
-
Durability & Quality: Our cables are made of robust and durable materials that can withstand intensive daily use and all weather conditions. They are supple, flexible, and easy to store in your vehicle, optionally with a handy storage bag or cable holder for a tidy trunk. Ensure the correct cable thickness for optimal conductivity and durability.
-
Optimal Performance for 7.2 kW: For the Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid, we recommend a 32-amp (7.4 kW) single-phase Type 2 charging cable to take full advantage of the car's maximum AC charging speed. These cables are perfect for efficient charging at home and at most public charging stations.
-
Certified Safety: All our Kia Sportage charging cables meet the strictest European safety standards (CE-certified), for your peace of mind.
Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid Home Chargers: Ultimate Convenience at Home
Charge your Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid easily and efficiently from the comfort and safety of your own home with our advanced home chargers . A dedicated Kia Sportage charger (wallbox) offers ultimate convenience and ensures your SUV is always fully charged and ready to go, whether you're commuting to work, taking the kids to school, or heading out for a weekend getaway.
-
Portable Home Chargers (Mobile Chargers): Ideal for flexible charging, for example, during a vacation or as an emergency charger when you don't have access to a fixed charging station. These compact chargers can easily be connected to a standard earthed socket (Schuko). Please note that charging via a standard socket (maximum 2.3 kW) is slower and is mainly suitable for emergencies or small top-ups. For faster mobile charging, there are also models that can be connected to a three-phase power connection (Cee-form), although the car will still draw a maximum of 7.2 kW.
-
Fixed Home Chargers (Wallboxes): For the most efficient, safe, and convenient home charging experience, we highly recommend a Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid wallbox . These fixed charging stations offer optimal charging speeds for AC charging (up to 7.4 kW, perfectly matched to the Sportage PHEV's charging speed), advanced features such as smart charging, load balancing (to prevent overloading your electrical grid), and detailed monitoring via a smartphone app. We offer a wide range of wallboxes perfect for professional home charging station installation , including models with dynamic load balancing for optimal energy distribution and sustainable solar charging .
