Kia EV5 Charging cable

The Kia EV5 is a family electric SUV built on the 400V E-GMP platform. All UK and European variants carry the same 81.4 kWh battery (~78 kWh usable), with an 11 kW three-phase onboard charger as standard. At a three-phase post, a full charge takes around seven and a half hours. At a single-phase 7.4 kW home wallbox, the same charge takes around ten and a half hours. DC fast charging at up to 150 kW recovers 10–80% in around 30 minutes. The CCS2 and Type 2 charge port sits on the right front flank.

Choosing the right charging cable

A 22 kW Voldt® Type 2 charging cable is the right match for the EV5. At home on a standard single-phase 32A wallbox, its 32A conductors allow the car to draw the full 7.4 kW. At a public three-phase post, it delivers the car's native 11 kW. An 11 kW three-phase cable restricts a single-phase wallbox to a single 16A conductor, cutting the home charge rate to 3.7 kW. With a 78 kWh usable battery, that doubles an already long overnight charge from around ten and a half hours to over twenty-one, well past any practical overnight window.

The right-front port suits nose-in parking well, keeping it closest to the charging post. A 6-metre cable handles a well-positioned home wallbox. An 8-metre cable is the practical standard for mixed home and public use. A 10-metre cable provides extra reach at stations with less predictable post positioning. A 15-metre cable handles hotel car parks and longer driveways without restriction.

Portable charging away from home

The Voldt® portable CEE charging cable delivers up to 11 kW via three-phase CEE, matched to the EV5's onboard charger. At a red three-phase 16A CEE socket, the car charges at its full 11 kW: a complete charge in around seven and a half hours. Red CEE sockets are found at workshops, farms, and commercial premises. The blue single-phase 16A CEE sockets typical of campsites and caravan hookups deliver 3.7 kW, useful for a partial overnight top-up but not a full charge of the 78 kWh battery.

The Voldt® Schuko/Type G compatible portable charger draws 2.3 kW (10A safe limit) from a standard domestic wall socket. With the 78 kWh battery, a full charge takes well over a day, making this strictly an emergency fallback.
