Making the switch to an electric vehicle is an exciting decision, but it's important to understand the basics of charging to ensure you never lose power on the road. At Sterling Kia in Bryan, TX, we're here to help with our selection of Kia EVs for sale and on-site charging available 24/7. Whether you're in Bryan, College Station, Brenham, or Huntsville, you can count on us for all your EV needs.
EV Charging Basics
EV charging is typically broken down into three levels:
- Level 1 uses a standard 120V household outlet and can add about 4-5 miles of range per hour.
- Level 2 requires a 240V outlet like those used for large appliances and can add 25-30 miles of range per hour.
- Level 3, also known as DC Fast Charging, uses specialized high-powered chargers to add up to 250 miles of range in just an hour.
It's important you have the right connector for your EV. All Kia models use the universal J1772 connector for Level 1 and Level 2 charging. For DC Fast Charging, the Kia Niro EV uses the CCS connector, while the Kia EV6 has an additional CHAdeMO connector option. Around College Station, you can count on our dealership EV charger to have the right adapters for your Kia, open 24 hours, seven days a week. There are also plenty more places to charge and apps that can help you locate them.
