There are a number of different ways You can charge the Kia Optima Plug In Hybrid's battery. The simplest way is to connect it directly to 120V 3 prong power, like that found inside Your home. This will take somewhere in the neighborhood of 9 hours for a full charge, or 5 hours for a charge froM20% to 80% (the Optima charges slowly from 0-20% and 80-100% to protect the battery). Upgraded kW wattages can decrease the charging time needed. Alternatively, You can use a public charging station, if so equipped to handle Your Optima's system. The rate of charging here can be as high as 150kW, so the "rapid" charge will have You back on the road in no time.
