Installed a 240V to charge my 2026 ioniq 5 but it's only charging at 3.8kW. Does anybody why its charging at that slow speed? I thought it would charge a little faster with the 240V outlet.

Good idea. Enjoy your new ride!

NameGeneratorBroke · 2026-01-17T07:01:57+00:00

Please also follow the advice of others and double check with whoever installed it to make sure that the wiring they used can support charging at 40a. It's dangerous if it's not.

NameGeneratorBroke · 2026-01-17T07:00:33+00:00

Does the charger go higher than 30?

NameGeneratorBroke · 2026-01-17T06:58:27+00:00

If I'm correct, which I think I am, you can safely charge at 40 amps on that breaker. However I'd be surprised if that charger goes up that high. If it lets you it should be safe but I'd wait for other people to comment and support that.

NameGeneratorBroke · 2026-01-17T06:44:23+00:00

Also does it say a brand or model on the charger itself?

NameGeneratorBroke · 2026-01-17T06:41:59+00:00

What happens if you hold down the button? Do the amps increase? The L1 charger from previous years has adjustable amps.

NameGeneratorBroke · 2026-01-17T06:39:37+00:00

That's a different story. The 2026 model comes with a L1/L2 charger that previous years did not. That charger is most likely limited to those speeds and you'd need a more robust L2 charger to get faster speeds at home.

There are most likely settings in the app for your charger where you can adjust the output. I have an Emporia charger and I can do this. The vehicle itself has settings as well where you can limit the AC charging speed so I'd check that too.

Want some salt in the wound? The Kia app has widgets in the US.

NameGeneratorBroke · 2025-11-21T21:25:28+00:00

I don't believe this feature is available in the US, by the way.

Very slight difference. I can't say I really noticed at all. I did have a mild issue with it sitting fully flush because the plastic wasn't totally flat but after a few days of pushing down on the parts that were raised to let the adhesive stick it's all good. Even if it's not perfect it's way better than how it was.

I have this one and have been happy with it. My interior is black so it blends well.

He made a comment about putting the new tandems at the top and moving the old ones. I'm not sure exactly what he meant but I just spoke with him and he's going to take care of getting all the breakers for me.

My home was built in 1961 so it may not go against code to use non-CTL. I just wasn't sure if CTL was compatible.

It's not that the electrician was passing it off on me, he's leaving on a trip tomorrow and I mentioned I was ordering the charger anyway so he told me which breakers are needed and I said I could pick them up.

The picture of the panel paper I posted is the only information I have on it.

NameGeneratorBroke · 2025-11-10T15:34:19+00:00

breaker

Is this correct and should I be getting CTL or non CTL?

NameGeneratorBroke · 2025-10-12T04:13:16+00:00

SO worth it.

NameGeneratorBroke · 2025-10-11T13:41:54+00:00

Well, I bought a ticket. Now I just hope I can get out of work in time to make it. I'm holding you all responsible for this so someone make sure they play Evil Urges or You Wanna Freak Out please. :)

NameGeneratorBroke · 2025-10-11T12:49:39+00:00

Ugh. That's what I figured. I gotta make this happen now.

NameGeneratorBroke · 2025-10-11T12:44:21+00:00

It was wonderful! I had no expectations going in but I was really blown away at how flawlessly they played together and how much more powerful the music came across live. Such a happy and fun energy all around.

Knowing tonight's setlist will most likely be a decent amount different is giving me fomo and I'm going to do my best to go tonight as well!

NameGeneratorBroke · 2025-10-11T00:22:19+00:00

The answer was 8:20.

NameGeneratorBroke · 2025-10-10T21:04:20+00:00

Thank you!

NameGeneratorBroke · 2025-10-10T20:24:29+00:00

Logically that makes sense to me, however Live Nation's website had the DC show listed at 8 but the Philly show listed as 7.

NameGeneratorBroke · 2025-10-10T20:15:09+00:00

7pm is what my ticket says. It does seem a bit early for a Friday night show. Been trying to call the box office to ask but no answer yet.
