I'm thinking about purchasing a Kia EV6 and I want to make sure I have the right charging setup at home. Can I just use a regular household outlet or do I need to invest in a Level 2 charger?
ReplyHi Samantha, congratulations on considering the Kia EV6! While you technically can charge your EV6 using a regular household outlet, it is highly recommended to use a Level 2 charger for faster and more efficient charging. The EV6 comes with a portable charger that can be used with a household outlet in case of emergencies, but for everyday charging, a Level 2 charger will make your life much easier.
Hi Samantha, I've been driving an EV for a few years now and I can tell you from experience that a Level 2 charger is definitely worth the investment. It may seem like a big upfront cost, but the convenience and time-saving benefits make it well worth it. Plus, most utility companies offer incentives or special rates for EV owners who use a Level 2 charger, so you may even end up saving money in the long run.
Hi Samantha, I use a Level 2 charger for my Kia Niro EV and it has made a huge difference in my daily routine. With a Level 2 charger, I can fully charge my car overnight while I sleep, compared to only getting a few miles of range from a household outlet. Trust me, the peace of mind knowing you have a fully charged car every morning is priceless.
