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)

I'm slowly losing range day by day because I can't charge enough overnight for the 70+ miles I drive everyday especially with the AC on (90 degrees here). I'll recover this weekend since we will take my Chevy to Peoria to give it to my son.

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
