Are you aware that there are two ways to charge your 64 kWh Kia e-Soul? You can either use a regular wall plug or a charging station. However, it is important to note that when you are on the go, public charging is only available through a charging station, as using a wall plug is insufficient. The charging speed of your EV varies depending on the type of charging station or EVSE you use and your EV's maximum charging capacity. Refer to the table below for all the available charging options for your Kia e-Soul 64 kWh, including the estimated time required to charge the battery from empty to full.
Europe
In Europe, the process of charging an electric vehicle (EV) can differ from country to country. Some nations in Europe utilize 1-phase connections to the grid whereas others mainly use a 3-phase connection. You can find a table below that shows all the potential methods available for charging a Kia e-Soul 64 kWh. However, some charging modes might not be accessible in particular countries. To determine which options are available, we suggest you contact your local electric vehicle charging networks.

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)
Fast charging is critical for extending the distance of your journey by quickly adding an optimal amount of range. When an electric vehicle reaches an 80% state-of-charge, charging power significantly decreases, which means a typical fast charge rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The speed of charging an electric vehicle depends on the charging station used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below provides a comprehensive overview of fast-charging the Kia e-Soul 64 kWh.
Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
