Kia EV2 versions
| Version | Battery capacity | Onboard AC | DC peak power | Average consumption |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 42.2 kWh | 11 kW | not published | 15.1-15.4 kWh / 100 kmWLTP |
| Long Range | 61 kWh | 11 kW | not published | 15.4 kWh / 100 kmWLTP |
Values come from the manufacturer's technical data for the Turkish market. WLTP consumption is measured at the grid and includes charging losses; the cost calculation counts this loss only once. "Not published": the manufacturer does not publish the car's maximum DC charging power.
Versions and values refer to the models sold in Türkiye; equipment and charging power can differ in your country.
Home charging time (20% to 80%)
Charging speed is set by the car's onboard AC charger, not by the wallbox. The Kia EV2 takes at most 11 kW with the standard unit; a more powerful charger cannot exceed this limit.

- How long does the Kia EV2 take to charge at home?
- From 20% to 80%: with an 11 kW charger Standard (42.2 kWh) 2 h 33 min, Long Range (61 kWh) 3 h 42 min; with a single-phase 7.4 kW charger Standard (42.2 kWh) 3 h 48 min, Long Range (61 kWh) 5 h 30 min; with a 3.7 kW (16 A single-phase) portable charger Standard (42.2 kWh) 7 h 36 min, Long Range (61 kWh) 10 h 59 min. Times depend on the car's onboard AC charger and the battery's state of charge.
- Which charger is right for the Kia EV2?
- Because the car's onboard AC charger takes 11 kW as standard, a three-phase 11 kW wallbox at home gives the fastest charging the car can accept. On a single-phase supply, a 7.4 kW wallbox is usually enough for everyday use.
- Does a 22 kW charger charge the Kia EV2 faster?
- Not with the standard 11 kW unit: the car takes at most 11 kW. If your car has the optional 22 kW onboard charger and your supply is three-phase 32 A, yes, and the time roughly halves. Check your registration document or equipment list to see which unit you have.
- How much does it cost to charge the Kia EV2 at home?
- At the Ofgem price cap (£0.26/kWh, 10.2026) 100 km costs about £3.97-4.05. At public AC chargers you pay about £8.15-8.32 on average, at DC rapid chargers about £11.37-11.60. Tariffs with cheaper night rates lower the cost further.
- Does the Kia EV2 support V2L?
- Yes. The Kia EV2 supports V2L (vehicle-to-load): a V2L adapter plugged into the Type 2 charging socket lets you use the car like a 230 V socket. Bemis V2L adapters for Hyundai · Kia · Ssangyong work with this car.
