How quickly would this charge a kia soul ev+?

This is a Level 2 charger. Refer to the owner's manual of the Kia EV to determine charging times with different sorts of chargers. More than likely, that car can only use Level 1 (120 VAC) or Level 2 (240 VAC) chargers. The difference in charging time between 120 VAC and 240 VAC is much less than 1/2 as long. If the car takes 20 hours to charge with a 120 VAC charger, it will take more like 4-6 hours to charge with a 240 VAC charger. If you do not have that car yet, you can usually download the onwer's manual from the manufacturer's web site.

I don't have an exact answer because I have a Chevy Volt. My maximum charge is around 12 mva or 40 miles on the Volt. This full charge take about 3.25 hours. I have a time rate electric meter system and try to set the car to charge at night when the cost is $0.04 per KwHr. It is true that batteries are only about 75% efficient in the winter in the 20s F. if it is being charged outside.

It will depend on ambient temperature of where you park it. My car will charge in 3-4 hrs. depending on how much charge remains in the battery. I plug in at night with the cheapest rate of 9 cents per KW.

The equipment supplies power to the on-board charger for your car, mine has a 6.6kwh charger and charges quickly depending on ambient temperature.

I have a BMW i3 (22 Kwh Battery, 18 usable) and it takes just about 4 hours to charge from 'empty'. The Kia Soul EV has a 27 Kwh battery so probably just under 5 hours. It's a great charger and it has an on/off switch.

The 110/220 Turbo Cord, plugged into a 220 receptacle will charge at a 3.6kw rate. A 30 AMP EVSE will charge at a 6.6kw rate. The Turbo cord is a 16 amp unit at 220 Volts. So the charge rate falls between a 30 AMP EVSE and a trickle charger that typically comes with your EV. I bought the Turbo Cord to have at work. I did not want to install a stationery EVSE. IE I did not want to leave the EVSE outside 24/7. Note however that a stationery 30 AMP unit costs about the same as the Turbo Cord. The advantage of the Turbo Cord is that its portable and you are able to use the Turbo cord on a 110 receptacle as well as a 220. Note also that some EV's are limited to like 3.3 kws on charging. For example I do not think the Volt will charge at a 6.6 kw rate.The Volt's onboard converter is limited to 3.3kw. Check your owners manual to see the rate that your EV has.

Higher voltage (220 vs 120) and higher current will charge ayour car faster; however check your owner manual to ensure compatibility;

Hello,I have been very happy with the Leviton EVB40-5PT Level 2 40-Amp. It has made recharging my EV cars a non-issue, i.e. it is a must have for charging my 2012 Leaf and my 2013 Fusion plug-in. Both cars are driving daily (i.e. about 60 miles for the Leaf and the Fusion plug-in) and compared to my 2012 electric bills it's about a $55 to $65 increase per month via BG&E.; I should mention I do get to charge my Leaf at work after a 30 miles commute. I recommend the Level 2 Leviton EV home charger.

My current charger (output of 600 mAh) charges my battery in about 3 to 3.5 hours; this charger has an output of 350 mAh, therefore I would expect this charger to completely charge your battery in about 5.5 hours.

I don't know. I have a Kia Soul and plugged into where the cigarette lighter used to be. Sorry I can't give you more info.

The Mercedes B-Class platform is Tesla design, so it should.This a great carry-around cord, but if you plan to use it only in the garage note that is rated at only 16 amps at 240v. For a more permanent (and faster charging) solution you may want to take a look at this:AeroVironment EV Charger: Plug-In, 25' cable, 30A, 7.2kWor this:Clipper Creek EV Charging Station 240V 7.7kW/32A 25FT CordBoth are highly regarded.

I love this battery charger ,on 12 amps should get you charged in a couple of hours

I believe that would depend on the size of your battery. I use the MK 110P to charge an Odyssey PC 925 battery for my Ocean kayak Torque, if I drain the battery completely it takes about 4 hours to recharge.

I'm not sure how fast you need to charge but I have no complaints about the speed. Works like a normal charger would.

I can't really answer how long it takes because I've only used it once and my batteries were not very low, however it is much faster than my old charger, and MUCH quieter. I had to order the crowsfoot connector ($38.50) extra to fit my older Club Car (1987)

The set up is quick & simple. It only takes about 10 minutes to charge the cars. You will also have to download the Anki Drive app to the device you will be using & get that configured which is also a quick process.

As far as I know this is as powerful as can be installed in home. It requires a 40 amp 240 v service. It uses a sae j1772 plug for the car. I presume this is std for all electric cars. I charge a Nissan leaf and when I plug it in my car shows it as a 6.6 kw charger. I am totally satisfied with the performance. No trouble so far.

I haven't used it for the Spark, but it's probably overkill just as it is for my Nissan Leaf. I bought it anyway because my Leaf is leased. I reasoned that I may as well wire in something powerful enough for a likely more powerful charger in the next generation EV when my Leaf lease is up. I tend to lean toward overkill when it comes to technology, but I don't usually advise others to do the same. It's often cheaper to get what you need now and buy the upgrade later when you can really use it. Plus, a lower power charge station will still do just fine charging an EV with a higher capacity charger. Just not quite as fast. Happy charging whatever you decide!

Yes it will charge faster. I can't be exact on how much more, but I would say at least 50% faster.

110 only my friend. The charger that comes with the car is slow, 6 or 7 hours. I suggest getting a rapid charger. Also, look into lipo batterys. They have a lot better run time.

Sure but not fast. Better than a float charger but not like a 10 amp or larger unit. Maybe overnight.
