Regenerative braking helps to convert the kinetic energy when decelerating and braking into electrical energy to recharge the battery for even greater energy efficiency. No plugs necessary.
The Niro Plug-in Hybrid uses Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) charge plug for AC charging, which can be found at most Australian public charging stations.
When using the optional Kia wall box charger (charging at 3.3kW), it can reach full charge from 0 from as little as 2 hours and 15 minutes.
For maximum convenience, Niro Plug-in Hybrid also comes with an ICCB (In-cable control box) Trickle Charger which can be plugged into any standard Australian powerpoint.
With the Charge Management functionality of Niro, you can set the day and time of when to charge the battery as well as location-based charging options.
The in-built navigation system also contains information on nearby charge stations so that you can easily find places to charge your Niro on the go.
Navigation system available on Sport grade.
The charging cable connector can be set to auto unlock when charging is completed to allow others to charge their vehicles.
It may also be set to remain locked after charging has completed if you using your own charge cable (sold separately) in a public charging station.
