Greetings,
What is the amperage rating of the EVSE provided with the car? Is it fixed or variable and if variable, what are the options?
Currently driving a Mitsubishi I-Miev. Lease expires in Feb. and seriously considering a Soul EV.
FYI, 2012 I-Miev EVSE fixed at 8 amp. 2014 model can switch between 8 or !2 amps.
Bring the KIA SOUL EV to Texas ASAP.

Welcome to the Forum Lithim! According to the manual, the trickle charger (Level 1) that came with the car is a 120V-12A EVSE. Also, the Kia Website (http://www.kia.com/us/en/content/ev-faqs/charging/three-charge-levels) says this charges at a speed of 1-1.5 kW.
