Kia home charging requirements
Every Kia electric model we cover, with the charger amperage its onboard charger accepts and the circuit that needs. A larger charger will not charge these cars any faster. Where a model's answer changed between years or trims, its page lists each version.
| Model | Years | Charger | Breaker |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kia EV3 | 2027 | 48 A | 60 A |
| Kia EV6 | 2022-2026 | 48 A | 60 A |
| Kia EV9 | 2024-2026 | 48 A | 60 A |
| Kia Niro EV | 2019-2026 | 32 A or 48 A by year or trim | 40 A or 60 A |
| Kia Soul EV | 2019-2020 | 32 A by year or trim | 40 A |
Chargers for Kia owners
Grouped by the amperage each Kia above can accept. A larger charger than that will not charge the car any faster.

32 amp J1772 cars (2 models)
No home unit is built at exactly 32 A, so these are the smallest that cover it. That is fine: the car draws only what it can take, whatever the charger is rated for.
