Kia EV2 Long-Range

Performance

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 63.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 61.1 kWh, providing a 1.9 kWh buffer (3.0%) for battery protection.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 450 to 447 km (280-278 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.

The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 13.6 kWh/100 km for the base model and 13.7 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 97 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 43 minutes with an average charging speed of 60 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 7% to 56%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 70 kW, with each charging session taking about 26 minutes and 43 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 40 minutes, needing six charging stops from 8% to 52%, totaling 140 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 5 hours and 33 minutes with a standard home setup.

An optional 22 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 2 hours and 46 minutes.
