Hybrid/Plug-in Hybrid System Overview

H2

HEV (HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE) SYSTEM

The Kia Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses both the gasoline engine and the electric motor for power. The electric

motor is run by a 270V high-voltage HEV battery.

Depending on the driving conditions, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and the electric

motor or even both at the same time.

Fuel efficiency increases when the engine is at idle, or when the vehicle is driven by the electric motor with the HEV

battery.

The HEV battery charge must be maintained because, at times, the engine may come on even at idle to act as a gen-

erator. Charging also occurs when decelerating or by regenerative braking.

H3

PHEV (PLUG-IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE) SYSTEM

The Kia Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) shares the characteristics of both a conventional hybrid electric vehi-

cle and an all-electric vehicle.

When used as a conventional hybrid electric vehicle, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and

the electric motor or even both at the same time.

When it is operating in the electric vehicle mode, the vehicle is driven only using the electric motor over a certain dis-

tance until the hybrid battery becomes low.The driving distance in EV mode depends on customer driving style and road

conditions. Aggressive driving maneuvers may at times temporarily enable the engine to operate for maximum power.

The hybrid battery can be fully charged by connecting a plug to an external electric power source.

Charging Information

• AC Charger: The plug-in hybrid

vehicle is charged by plugging into

a AC charger installed in your

home or a public charging station.

(For further details, refer to the 'AC

Charge'.)

• Trickle Charger: The plug-in hybrid

vehicle can be charged by using

household electricity.

The electrical outlet in your home

must comply with regulations and

can safely accommodate the

Voltage / Current (Amps) / Power

(Watts) ratings specified on the

trickle charge.

Charging Time

• AC Charger: Takes about from 2

and a half hours to 3 hours at room

temperature (Can be charged to

100%.).

Depending on the condition and

durability of the high-voltage bat-

tery, charger specifications, and

ambient temperature, the time

required for charging the high-volt-

age battery may vary.

• Trickle Charger: For charging at

home. Please note that the Trickle

Charger is slower than the AC

Charger.

Charging Status

You can monitor the charging status

outside of the vehicle when charging

the high-voltage battery.

Scheduled Charging

(if equipped)

• You can set reserved charging

using the AVN.

Refer to the AVN for detailed infor-

mation about setting reserved

charging.

• Scheduled charging can only be

done when using a AC charger or

the portable charging cable (ICCB:

In-Cable Control Box).

WARNING

-

Public Electric Outlets

Do not use old or worn out pub-

lic electric outlets to charge

your vehicle. There may be a

risk of fire and injury when

using old worn out public elec-

trical outlets.

H7

• Comply with the following in order

to prevent electrical shock when

charging:

- Use a waterproof charger

- Make sure to not touch the charg-

ing connector and charging plug

when your hand is wet

- Do not charge when there is light-

ning

- Do not charge when the charging

connector and plug is wet

WARNING

-

Interference with electron-

ic medical devices

When using medical electric

devices such as an implantable

cardiac pacemaker, make sure to

ask the medical team and manu-

facturer whether charging your

electric vehicle will impact the

operation of the medical

devices.In some instances,elec-

tromagnetic waves that are gen-

erated from the charger can seri-

ously impact medical electric

devices such as an implantable

cardiac pacemaker.

WARNING

-

Touching the charging

connector

Do not touch the charging con-

nector, charging plug, and the

charging inlet when connecting

the charging connector cable to

general outlets, it may lead to exces-

sive electricity charges as the elec-

tricity charges for electric vehicles

will not be applied. So refrain from

using it to fully charge your car.

How to Set Charging Current of

Portable Charging Cable

1. Check the outlet’s current rating

before connecting the plug to the

outlet.

2. Connect the power plug to the

household electrical outlet.

3. Check the status of the control box

display.

4. Adjust the charging current by

pressing the button (1) on the

back of the control box for more

than 1 second.(Refer to the exam-

ples of charging cable type and
