Consumer Description

Inlet charging port overheats causing charging to be interrupted when using 40A or higher EVSE. This is dangerous because the charging port or the wiring harness behind it is overheating because of high electrical power which can cause a fire. Kia has acknowledged this problem by issuing a TSB which reduces the charging rate when the overheating is detected but this does not solve the actual problem with the port or wiring harness.
