Power outlet

The Kia EV6 power outlet is designed to provide electrical power for mobile phones, portable electronic devices, and other accessories compatible with automotive electrical systems.

The connected Kia EV6 electrical accessories should consume less than 15 amps while the vehicle is operating.

Use the Kia EV6 power outlet only while the vehicle is switched ON and disconnect accessories after use. Operating accessories for long periods while the vehicle is OFF may discharge the auxiliary battery.

When using high-power electrical accessories, reduce the Kia EV6 heater or air conditioning system to the lowest operating level.
Keep the power outlet cover closed whenever the outlet is not in use.
Some electronic devices may create electrical interference when connected to the Kia EV6 power outlet. This may result in audio static or malfunction of other electronic systems inside the vehicle.
Insert the accessory plug fully into the Kia EV6 power outlet. Poor electrical contact may cause overheating or blow the fuse.
Use battery-equipped electronic devices with reverse-current protection. Current from the accessory battery may flow into the Kia EV6 electrical system and cause malfunction.
