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 Connect app.
The Kia Connect 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 Connect 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.
To 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 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 > Eco Vehicle >
Charging Connector Lock.
Emergency Release: If the Charging Connector is not unlocking, then use the emergency
release lever inside the liftgate. Turn the Emergency Release cover
B
to open and remove.
Pull the Emergency Release lever
C
to unlock the Charging Connector.
Note: The Emergency Release Lever is located on right side panel inside the liftgate.
Charging Your Electric Vehicle

Level 2 Charging (AC):
A Level 2 or 240-volt charger is the recommended charging system for your EV. This type of charger uses 240 volts of electricity
and takes approximately 9 hours for a full charge. A Level 2 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 (DC):
A Level 3 or DC fast charger is usually found at public charging stations. When the vehicle battery is low, this type of DC charger may
charge an EV to about 80% in as little as 60 minutes. You can charge from 10% to 80% state of charge in about 18 minutes using a
DC fast charger.
Reminder: Frequent use of DC fast charging can negatively impact battery performance and durability, and Kia recommends
minimizing use of DC fast charging.
Regenerative Braking with Paddle Switches
The regenerative braking system is designed to charge 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.
• 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 paddle switch
B
to Level 3 regenerative braking (see indicator on
Instrument Cluster).
• Then pull the left 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 the brake pedal when necessary and pay attention to the
road conditions ahead and apply the brake pedal if necessary.
Smart Regeneration System
This system is designed to automatically adjust the regenerative braking level based on a vehicle
being detected in front and road conditions.
To activate Smart Regeneration: Go to Vehicle Settings in the infotainment system by pressing
the SETUP button. Press VEHICLE > Eco Vehicle > 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 1 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.
Dos and Don’ts
• 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.
• 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.
