How can I optimize the charging time of my Kia Niro battery?

I just purchased a Kia Niro and I'm wondering if there are any tips or tricks for minimizing the charging time for the battery? I want to make sure I'm maximizing efficiency and not taking longer than necessary to charge up.

To optimize the charging time of your Kia Niro battery, make sure to use a Level 2 charger instead of a Level 1 charger. This will significantly reduce charging time and improve overall efficiency. Additionally, avoid charging the battery to 100% every time as this can put unnecessary strain on the battery. Instead, aim for a charge level between 80-90% to maintain a healthy battery life.

Another way to improve charging time is to pre-condition the battery before plugging it in. This means running the AC or heater while the car is still plugged in, so that the battery is at a comfortable temperature when you do begin charging. This can shave off a significant amount of charging time.

It's also important to make sure your charging station is functioning properly. Over time, charging stations can become less efficient, so it's a good idea to have it checked and potentially replaced if needed. This will ensure you're getting the best charging performance possible.
