An electric vehicle is driven using a
battery and an electric motor. While
conventional v ehicles use an internal
combustion engine and gasoline as
fuel, electric vehicles use electrical
energy that is stored inside the high
voltage battery. As a result, electric
vehicles are eco-friendly in that they
do not require fuel and do not emit
exhaust gases.
1. It is driven using the electrical energy that is stored inside the high
voltage battery. In addition, the
vehicle does not emit any exhaust
gases that can cause air pollution.
2. A high performance motor is used
in the vehicle as well. Compared
to standard, internal combustion
engine vehicles, engine noise and
vibrations are generally reduced
when driving.
3. When decelerating or driving downhill, regenerative braking is utilized
to charge the high voltage battery.
This reduces energy loss and may
increase the distance to empty.
4. When the battery charge is not
sufficient, normal charge, quick
charge and trickle charge are
available. (Refer to “Charge Types
for Electric Vehicle” for details.)
REVIEW OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Review of Electric Vehicle Characteristics of Electric
Vehicles
What does regenerative braking
do?
It uses an electric motor when
decelerating and braking and
transforms kinetic energy to electrical energy in order to charge the
high voltage battery. (Torque is
applied in the opposite direction
when decelerating to generate
braking force and electric energy.)
Note

• The vehicle is composed of a high
voltage battery that drives the
motor and air-conditioner, and an
auxiliary battery (12 V) that drives
the lamps, wipers, and audio system.
• The auxiliary battery is automatically charged when the vehicle is
in the ready ( ) mode or the high
voltage battery is being charged.
REVIEW OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Battery Information

• High Voltage Junction Block: Supplies power from the high voltage bat-
tery to the inverter, LDC, air-conditioner compressor, and PTC heater.
• On-Board Charger (OBC):External device (low speed) to charge the high
voltage battery.
• Inverter: Transforms direct current into alternating current to supply power
to the motor, and transforms alternating current into direct current to
charge the high voltage battery.
• LDC: Transforms power from the high voltage battery to low voltage (12 V)
to supply power to the vehicle (DC-DC).
• Motor: Uses electrical energy stored inside the high voltage battery to
drive the vehicle (functions like an engine in a standard vehicle).
• Reduction Gear : Delivers rotational force of the motor to the tires at
appropriate speeds and torque.
• High voltage battery (lithium-
ion polymer) : Stores and supplies power necessary for the
electric vehicle to operate (12 V
auxiliary battery provides power to
the vehicle features such as lights
and wipers).

• The charge amount of the high voltage battery may gradually decrease
when the vehicle is not driving.
• The battery capacity of the high
voltage battery may decrease
when the vehicle is stored in
high/low temperatures.
• Distance to empty may vary
depending on the driving conditions,
even if the charge amount is the
same.The high voltage battery may
expend more energy when driving at
quick speed or uphill.These actions
may reduce the distance to empty.
• The high voltage battery is used
when using the air-conditioner /
heater. This may reduce the distance to empty. Make sure to set
moderate temperatures when
using the air-conditioner/heater.
• Natural degradation may occur
with the high voltage battery
depending on the number of years
the vehicle is used. This may
reduce the distance to empty.
• When the charge capacity and
distance to empty keep falling, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer for inspection and maintenance.
• If the vehicle will not be in use for
an extended period of time,
charge the high voltage battery
once every three months to prevent it from discharging. Also, if
the charge amount is not enough
to store the vehicle for an extended period of time, immediately
charge to enough state of charge
and store the vehicle.
High Voltage Battery (lithium-ion polymer)

WARNING - Repair of
high voltage components
The high voltage battery in your
system in very dangerous and
can cause severe burns and
electric shock. Never inspect,
remove or disassemble any of
the high voltage components in
your vehicle. Kia recommends
that all inspections and repairs
be performed by an authorized
and trained Kia dealer.
6
• Normal charge is recommended
to keep the high voltage battery in
optimal condition.
If the high voltage battery charge
amount is below 20%, you can
keep the high voltage battery performance in optimal condition if
you charge the high voltage battery to 100%. (Once a month or
more is recommended.)
• If the vehicle is in a collision, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized Kia dealer to inspect
whether the high voltage battery
is still connected.
The high voltage battery warmer
system prevents reduction of battery
output when battery temperature is
low. If the charging connector is connected, the warmer system automatically operate according to the battery temperature.
Charging time may shorten compare
to vehicles without the high voltage
battery warmer system. But, electricity charge may increase because of
high voltage battery warmer system
operation.
The high voltage battery warmer system operates when the charging connector is connected to the vehicle.
However, the high voltage warmer
system may not operate when battery temperature drops below -35°C
(-31°F)

CAUTION - Damaging
high voltage battery
• Make sure to use a designated
charger when charging the
high voltage battery. Using different types of chargers may
have a serious impact on vehicle durability.
• Make sure that the high voltage battery charger gauge
does not reach SOC 0% on
cluster gauge. If the vehicle is
kept at SOC 0% for a long period, it may damage the high
voltage battery and the high
voltage battery may have to be
replaced depending on the
level of degradation.

WARNING - Fires caused
by dust or water
Do not connect the charging
cable connector plug to the
vehicle if there is water or dust
on the charging inlet.
Connecting while there is water
or dust on the charging cable
connector and plug may cause
a fire or electric shock.
WARNING - Interference
with electronic medical
devices
When using medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker, make sure
to ask the medical team and
manufacturer whether charging
your electric vehicle will impact
the operation of the medical
devices. In some instances,
electromagnetic waves that are
generated from the charger can
seriously impact medical electric devices such as an
implantable cardiac pacemaker.
20
• Comply with the following in order
to prevent electrical shock when
charging:
– Use a waterproof charger.
– Make sure to not touch the
charging connector and charging plug when your hand is wet.
Do not stand in water or snow
when connecting the charging
cable.
– Do not charge when there is
lightning.
– Do not charge when the charg-
ing connector and plug is wet.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CHARGING

WARNING - T ouching the
charging connector
Do not to touch the charging
connector, charging plug, and
the charging inlet when connecting the cable to the charger
and the charging inlet on the
vehicle. Doing so may result in
electrocution.
WARNING - Charging
cable
• Immediately stop charging
when you find abnormal
symptoms (smell, smoke).
• Replace the charging cable if
the cable coating is damaged
to prevent electrical shock.
• When connecting or removing
the charging cable, make sure
to hold the charging connector handle and charging plug.
If you pull the cable itself
(without using the handle),the
internal wires may disconnect
or get damaged.This may lead
to electric shock or fire.
21
• Always keep the charging connector and charging plug in clean and
dry condition. Be sure to keep the
charging cable in a condition
where there is no water or moisture.
• Make sure to use the designated
charger for charging the electric
vehicle. Using any other charger
may cause failure.
• Before charging the battery, turn
the vehicle [OFF].
• Be careful not to drop the charging
connector. The charging connector can be damaged.

1. While the brake pedal is pressed,
engage the parking brake.
2. Turn OFF all switches, place the
shift lever in P (Park), and turn
OFF the vehicle.
3. Press the charging door open
