Kia Electric Vehicles
Plug Into a Kia Built Around Your Daily Drive
Kia electric vehicles give you more ways than ever to cut back on gas station stops, from compact all-electric SUVs to three-row plug-in hybrids that keep a gas engine on hand for longer trips. At Ray Skillman Southside Kia, we help drivers match an electrified Kia to their routine, their budget, and the miles they actually cover each day.
- Five electrified Kia models range from a budget-friendly small SUV to a family hauler with up to seven seats.
- A side-by-side chart lines up price, range, drivetrain, and seating in one spot.
- Home and public charging tips, plus answers to common EV questions, help you plan the switch.
Going electric can feel like a big change, so our team keeps the conversation simple. We’ll talk through your commute, where you park at night, and whether a full EV or a plug-in hybrid makes more sense for life in Indianapolis, IN, before your first test drive.

Charging Your Kia EV
Keeping a Kia charged is easier than most people expect. Most owners handle the bulk of their charging at home, then top off at public stations when a longer drive calls for it. Plug-in hybrid drivers get extra flexibility, since the gas engine takes over once the battery runs low.
Charging at Home
Plugging in overnight is the simplest way to start each morning with a full battery. A standard household outlet works in a pinch, but a 240-volt Level 2 charger adds range much faster and is the setup most EV owners prefer.
Charging in Public
Public charging keeps you moving on the days your plans stretch past the usual commute. Level 2 stations work well while you shop or grab dinner, and DC fast chargers handle quick stops along I-65 or I-465. Kia models with a built-in NACS port can also use compatible Tesla Superchargers, which makes a weekend drive down to Brown County State Park easy to plan.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kia Electric Vehicles
What Are the Different Levels of EV Charging?
There are three main levels of EV charging. Level 1 uses a standard 120-volt household outlet and is the slowest option, while Level 2 runs on 240 volts and is the go-to choice for overnight charging at home or at many public stations. DC fast charging, sometimes called Level 3, is found at public stations and adds range the quickest, though Kia recommends saving it for road trips rather than everyday use.
How Long Does Charging Take?
Charging time depends on the battery size, the model, and the type of charger. On a 350-kW DC fast charger, the Kia EV9 can go from 10% to 80% in about 20 to 24 minutes depending on battery, while the EV3 takes roughly 29 to 31 minutes. At home, an 11-kW Level 2 charger fills the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid in about two hours on 240 volts.
How Does Charging at Home Work?
Charging at home is as simple as plugging in when you park for the night. A Level 1 connection uses any grounded 120-volt outlet, while a Level 2 charger needs a 240-volt circuit installed by a licensed electrician. The EV6 includes a dual-voltage charging cable and the Sorento Plug-in Hybrid comes with a combined Level 1 and Level 2 cable, so you can get started right away.
What Are the Benefits of Kia Electric Vehicles?
Kia EVs deliver instant torque, a quiet cabin, and zero tailpipe emissions, and they skip gas-engine upkeep like oil changes. Kia backs its EV batteries with a 10-year/100,000-mile limited warranty. Plug-in hybrids add another perk, handling daily errands on electric power while keeping a gas engine ready for longer drives up to Indiana Dunes National Park.
