You don’t need this for a garage though right? You can just plug into a wall outlet.

Or does the Kia not have a direct plug?

Responses:

Correct. Both our PHEV and the EV came with a standard wall outlet charger. It is very slow though. My EV goes 20%-80% in 26h on it -- (edited) - oblique May 13, 07:26 5
- If you have a 240v outlet it should be faster than that. Is that just on plain 110v? -- nm - spamlet May 13, 07:43 3
  - Sorry, yes. Kia only provides standard wall outlet (110) chargers -- nm - oblique May 13, 07:44 2
    - Ah. Tesla had both when we were looking. -- nm - spamlet May 13, 07:46 1
      - We don't have a 240 in the garage (only laundry) so that is whats getting installed next week -- nm - oblique May 13, 07:47
- Though if you can get away with charging slower it's better for battery life. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 07:27
