How to connect portable charger (ICCB: In-Cable Control Box)

Portable charging lets the Kia EV6 charge from a suitable household electrical outlet when a dedicated AC charger or DC fast charger is not available. Always use the correct ICCB portable charger and confirm that the outlet capacity matches the selected charging level before connecting.

1. Connect the plug securely to a household electric outlet that is suitable for Kia EV6 portable charging.

2. Confirm that the green power lamp appears on the ICCB control box before connecting the charger to the Kia EV6.

3. Press the brake pedal and apply the parking brake to keep the Kia EV6 securely stationary during charging.

4. Turn all switches off, shift the vehicle to P (Park), and switch the Kia EV6 off. If charging is started before the gear is in P (Park), charging will begin only after the vehicle automatically shifts to P.

5. Open the charging door.

   For more details, refer to Charging door.

6. Open the protective caps on the charging connector and charging plug. Check carefully for dust, moisture, or foreign material before connecting.

7. Hold the charging connector by the handle and insert it fully into the Kia EV6 charging inlet. Push the connector all the way in. If the charging connector and charging terminal are not connected correctly, overheating or fire may occur.

   If the charging connector and charging inlet are not seated properly, the connector may droop or vibrate. In this case, hold the connector handle and push it fully into the inlet again.

8. Charging starts automatically when the connection is correct, and the charging lamp appears.

9. Check that the high-voltage battery charging indicator light ( ) in the instrument cluster is turned ON. Charging is not active when the charging indicator light ( ) is off. If the charging connector is not connected correctly, reconnect the charging cable and begin charging again.

10. After charging begins, the estimated charging time appears on the Kia EV6 instrument cluster for approximately 1 minute.

    Remaining Time

    If the driver seat door is opened while charging, the estimated charging time is also displayed on the instrument cluster for about 1 minute. When scheduled charging or scheduled air conditioning/heating is active, the estimated charging time may appear as "--".

CAUTION

NOTE

How to disconnect portable charger (ICCB: In-Cable Control Box)

Disconnect the portable charger carefully to protect the Kia EV6 charging inlet, connector terminals, and cable components from damage.

1. Hold the charging connector handle and pull it out (2) while pressing the unlock button (1) on the charging connector.

2. Make sure the Kia EV6 charging door is completely closed after the connector is removed.

3. Disconnect the plug from the household electric outlet. Always hold the plug itself and never pull directly on the cable.

4. Close the protective caps on the charging connector and charging plug to protect them from dust, moisture, and other foreign substances.

5. If a personal charging connector is used, store the connector properly in the cable compartment.
