The Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid stands out as an excellent choice for families, offering an impressive 460-mile range when fully fueled, with an exceptional electric driving range of 32 miles. With its spacious seating and generous cargo capacity, it’s one of the few 3-row SUVs that offers electric range options. Since this vehicle has been available for a while, many owners are seeking charger upgrades or replacements.
Our EV Chargers are thoughtfully designed to be lightweight, portable, and adaptable, catering to homeowners who may rent or plan to relocate. They can also be conveniently used at locations like RV parks and other residences.
Recommendation: Given the smaller size of the plug-in hybrid battery and its slower charge acceptance rate (indicating how quickly the battery can accept a charge), we recommend utilizing a level 1 NEMA 5-15 Kia Sorento EV Charger. This charger provides the fastest available charging and is a cost-effective solution compared to level 2 EV chargers, which are not necessary for this vehicle. Charging times remain optimized for efficiency. Charging from an empty battery, which is a rare scenario in practice, takes approximately 4 to 5 hours to reach a full charge. Charging from a 50% battery, which is more common, can be completed in 2 to 2.5 hours. Our EV chargers can be used as portable units or wall-mounted wallbox-type J1772 EV chargers.
