It gives you the option to charge your car whenever it is at home and can turn out to be particularly economical. There are a few things to consider when planning to install a home charge point, if only that you need off-street parking. The good news: Kia offers all that in a one-stop service that is convenient, cost-effective and packed with smart benefits. Three simple steps to installing your home charger Having a charger fitted in your home is easier than you think – with our partners’ installation service. Simply visit your local Kia dealer and register for an installation with one of our preferred partners, Pod Point or bp pulse. You will need to provide a few details and photos - location, fuse box and other important aspects - to prepare a smooth approval and installation. You may also be asked for documents to prove your eligible for any available government support. Your chosen supplier comes to your home and installs your home charger on a pre-arranged date. FIND YOUR DEALER How long it takes to charge an electric car at home An electric car's charging speed is measured in kilowatt (kW). An electric vehicle charging point can usually deliver 7kW in most UK homes whereas a regular three-pin socket can only provide up to 2.3kW. Having a home charger will provide much faster charging. The time your electric vehicle takes to charge depends on its battery size, the maximum charging speed it’s able to take and the home charging point’s speed. Our electric Kias can fully take advantage of a 7kW charging speed, however plug-in hybrid vehicles can only ever charge at a maximum speed of 3.6kW. This being considered and if you have a 7kW home charge point, an overnight charge will be enough to fully replenish your electric Kia’s battery.

Charging your electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle at home is particularly economical. Assuming you pay 21p per kilowatt, charging your EV6 capable of up to 328 miles will cost you just over £16. A full charge for your Sorento PHEV will come out at less than £3. This translates in a cost per mile that is far less than that of a conventional petrol or diesel car. What’s more, you can slash costs even further when opting for a dedicated EV energy tariff. These tariffs usually offer reduced pricing for overnight, off-peak charging. Using your vehicle’s head unit or the Kia Connect mobile app, you can schedule to charge only at those specific times to maximise savings.

What’s more, thanks to the Kia Connect app, you can schedule your charging to take advantage of your electricity supplier’s best off-peak prices. SAFETY Using a domestic three-pin UK socket to charge your Kia is only recommended in exceptional circumstances. A dedicated vehicle home charge point is definitely the safest bet when it comes to electric and plug-in vehicles. SPEED Most UK homes can support a 7kW home charge point, which charges your electric vehicle three times quicker than a domestic UK three-pin socket. Want to know more?
