Charging & Energy Management

Charging capabilities and times are consistent across both battery sizes, with differences only in total energy content.

Connectors & Onboard Hardware

• Charging port: CCS‑II (combined AC/DC standard)
• Onboard AC charger:10.8 kW (often rounded as 11 kW in some sources)
• Battery pack: Liquid‑cooled, IP67‑rated battery with battery conditioning/thermal management
• Vehicle‑to‑Load (V2L) capability included across the EV lineup (external power supply to devices/appliances)

AC Charging

Approximate AC charging times (10–100%)

• 42 kWh Standard Range
• ~4 hours on 10.8–11 kW AC charger (home wallbox / public AC)
• 51.4 kWh Extended Range
• ~4 hours 50 minutes on 10.8–11 kW AC charger (home wallbox / public AC)

These times are for typical AC fast wallbox setups and can vary by supply conditions.

DC Fast Charging

• Supports up to 100 kW DC fast charging via CCS‑II.
• Charging time (both batteries): 10–80% in approximately 39 minutes on a 100 kW DC charger.

DC charging performance is identical in timing for both battery capacities, with the larger pack simply absorbing more energy in the same window due to higher charger power.

Battery Protection & Efficiency Features

• Liquid‑cooling and battery conditioning help optimize performance in Indian climatic conditions and protect long‑term battery health.
• IP67 rating for the battery pack provides resistance to dust and water ingress.
• EV‑specific drive modes and regenerative braking settings (Eco, Normal, Sport) tune response and efficiency (commonly available on modern Kia EVs; Syros EV follows similar practice).
