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 charging and inspect the outlet, EVSE, cable, connector and inlet for heat, odor, damage or debris.
- 02
Open EV Settings and select AC Charging Current.
- 03
Move from Maximum to Reduced, or from Reduced to Minimum, rather than repeatedly restarting at the same load.
- 04
Reconnect the AC charger and confirm charging begins.
- 05
Monitor the connection and restore a higher setting only when using equipment known to support it safely.
Important limits
- A lower current setting lengthens charging time.
- A current reduction cannot make a damaged, overheated or incorrectly installed outlet safe.
- Some AC equipment can still interrupt charging for reasons unrelated to current selection.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the session fails at Minimum, test a different known-good compatible charger.
- ✓If any component becomes hot or smells burnt, stop using it and arrange electrical inspection.
- ✓If the Niro fails on multiple chargers, have an authorized Kia dealer inspect the vehicle.
