Scheduled Charging
Charging times can be set through the Infotainment System Vehicle Settings. Select EV, then
CHARGING AND CLIMATE. You can also use the Scheduled Charging* feature on the Kia Access App.
The Kia Access App can help you find the nearest charging station, and also displays charging
status and Scheduled Charging information. On your smartphone, go to an app store or
marketplace to download the Kia Access App.
Reminder: When Scheduled Charging is set and the charger is plugged in, charging of the electric
vehicle will not begin until the time and date set.
Deactivate Scheduled Charging
—
Depress the Charging button
A
to temporarily disable the
scheduled charging feature when immediate charging is required.
Charging Connector Auto/Lock Mode
The charging connector can be set to be locked or unlocked while in the charging inlet and
charging. To select the locking mode, go to the Vehicle Settings mode in the Infotainment
System. Press the Mode button
A
on the left side of the Steering Wheel or press the SETUP
key on the Infotainment System or the SETUP button on the screen. Select VEHICLE, then ECO
VEHICLE. Select CHARGING CONNECTOR LOCK.
Emergency Release
—
If the charging connector is not unlocking, then use the emergency
release lever inside the trunk. Turn the Emergency Release cover to open
B
and remove. Pull
the Emergency Release lever
C

Note: The Emergency Release Lever is located on right side panel inside the liftgate.
Charging Your Electric Vehicle

Level 2 Charging — “Normal” Charge (AC)
A Level 2 or “normal” 240-volt/50-amp charger is the recommended charging system for your EV. This type of charger uses
240 volts of electricity and takes approximately 8.5 hours for a full charge. This charger may be able to be installed at your home
by a qualified electrician or can be found at a public charging station.
Reminder: The shape of the charger and how to use the charger may be different for each manufacturer. Please see section 1 in the
Owner’s Manual for more information.
Level 3 Charging — “Quick” Charge (DC)
A Level 3 or “quick” DC fast charger is usually found at public charging stations. This type of DC charge may charge an EV in as little
as 60 minutes to about an 80% charge. An ultra–fast DC charger charge time from 10-80% on a 350kW charger is approximately
18 minutes.
Reminder: Kia does not recommend primarily charging with a DC charger because it can reduce the lifespan of the battery.
Regenerative Braking with Paddle Switches
The regenerative braking system charges the battery when coasting or when you use the brakes
to stop the vehicle. Use the paddle switches to adjust the regenerative braking level from 0 to 3
during decelerating or braking. The level will be displayed on the instrument cluster
A
.
• Pull the left paddle switch
B
to increase regenerative braking and deceleration.
• Pull the right paddle switch
C
to decrease regenerative braking and deceleration.
The paddle switches do not operate when:
• Both paddle switches are pulled at the same time.
• The vehicle is decelerating by depressing the brake pedal.
• Cruise Control or Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is active.
i-Pedal
i-Pedal driving controls the vehicle speed by the accelerator pedal, both acceleration and
deceleration. To activate i-Pedal:
• Pull the left side paddle switch
B
to Level 3 regenerative braking (see indicator on instrument
cluster).
• Then pull the left side paddle switch
B
once again when the regenerative braking level is set
to Level 3.
The i-Pedal indicator symbol will be illuminated on the instrument cluster.
One-Pedal Driving
One-Pedal Driving increases the regenerative braking amount to above Level 3 and may slow the
vehicle down by pulling the left paddle switch.
• Pull and hold the left paddle switch
B
while coasting to activate One-Pedal Driving.
• When the vehicle speed is above 2 mph, release the left paddle switch
B
for less than 0.5
seconds to return to the previously set level of regenerative braking.
• When the vehicle speed is below 2 mph, One-Pedal Driving can stop the vehicle even though
the left paddle switch is released.
Reminder: The driver’s seat belt must be fastened to operate One-Pedal Driving.
Do not solely rely on One-Pedal Driving to stop the vehicle, as it may not be able to stop the
vehicle depending on vehicle and road conditions. Always use pedal braking when necessary
and pay attention to the road conditions ahead and apply the brake if necessary.
Smart Regeneration System
This system automatically adjusts the regenerative braking level based on a vehicle being
detected in front and road conditions.
• Activate Smart Regeneration in the Vehicle Settings on the Infotainment System by pressing
SETUP on the screen, VEHICLE and ECO VEHICLE, and then SMART REGENERATION. AUTO
D
will be displayed on the instrument cluster. AUTO regenerative brake adjusts regenerative
braking based on the distance from the vehicle in front and its speed.
Pull and hold the right paddle switch
C
for more than one second to turn on/off the automatic
change of the regenerative braking. The minimum regenerative braking level can be adjusted
when in AUTO mode by using the left and right paddle switches.
Matte Paint* Care
To enjoy your vehicle’s matte appearance for many years to come, please follow these owner care and maintenance tips.
Do’s and Don’ts
• Do not use wax, detail spray, or any products made for
normal paint. Use only products specifically developed for
matte finish paint.
• Do not use products that are even mildly abrasive, such as
polishes, glazes, or rubbing compounds.
• Do not use terry cloth, cloth, or paper towels. Do not rub the
finish vigorously, this will burnish the paint finish, causing a
permanent shiny spot. Shiny spots cannot be removed.
• Do not use commercial car wash facilities or their shine
enhancement products. Most car wash brushes, large
mechanized “towels,” and shine enhancement products can
damage matte paint.
• Do not use mechanical cleaners or polishers.
• Remove foreign substances such as insect remains, tar,
and road debris using a soft applicator and a mild solvent;
saturate and soak the area before cleaning—rub lightly.
• Hand-wash with a soft wash mitt and mild cleaning product
safe for matte paint.
• Use microfiber cleaning cloths with an alcohol-based window
cleaner for basic surface clean-up.
