Charging Kia Niro EV

[rakouten_]

Hey everyone! We're thinking about getting our first ever EV, the Niro. I have a question. Can the Niro charge at multiple speeds, or only the listed ones in the specifications?

Thanks!

It'll draw as much power as the charger can provide, up to 11.5 kW (according to the specs). It'll adjust to whatever power is available. It'll just take longer if the charger cannot provide enough power.

Thanks! I just got my Niro. Does that mean it doesn't matter if I use a slower charger? Will it charge just as fast on a slower charger?

How fast your car can charge depends on a few things, like how much charge it already has and the temperature. If the battery is almost full and it's cold outside, it won't charge as quickly. You might notice it charges faster if you start with around 30% battery.
