The Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid, which was available before 2022, marked Kia’s initial entry into the realm of electric vehicles. At EV chargers, we frequently receive requests for replacement Kia Niro EV chargers, often as backup options to keep in the car. Our chargers are designed to be compatible with the Kia Niro and use the J1772 U.S. standard connector.
Our EV chargers are lightweight, portable, and versatile, allowing you to move them as needed, whether you’re renting a new place or planning to move. They can also be used outside of the home at locations like RV parks or other residences.
Recommendation: Given the relatively small battery size and the slower charge acceptance rate (how quickly the battery can accept a charge), we recommend using a level 1 NEMA 5-15 Kia Niro EV charger. This charger provides the fastest charging option available and is also a cost-effective choice compared to level 2 EV chargers, which are unnecessary for this vehicle. Charging times remain quite fast, with the car being fully charged in approximately 3.5 hours, even from an empty battery, though this scenario is rare in practice. Our EV chargers can be used portably or affixed to the wall as wallbox-type J1772 EV chargers.
