Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Stop the failed session and inspect the connector, cable and charging equipment for heat, damage or contamination.
- 02
Open Electric Vehicle settings and select AC Charging Current.
- 03
Choose the next lower available current setting.
- 04
Reconnect the AC charger and verify that charging begins normally.
- 05
Monitor the session; keep the reduced setting only if the supply remains stable and the equipment stays cool.
Important limits
- Reducing current increases charging time.
- Some high-capacity AC chargers may show little or no change because of charger and vehicle current limits.
- Do not use this setting to work around a hot, damaged, loose or improperly installed outlet or charger.
Quick checks.
- ✓If charging still stops, try a known-good compatible charger rather than repeatedly reconnecting suspect equipment.
- ✓If a plug, cable or outlet is hot or smells burnt, stop immediately and have the electrical equipment inspected.
- ✓If multiple chargers fail at every current setting, have an authorized Kia dealer inspect the EV9.
