The fact that it's a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is a major selling point of the 2025 Kia Kia Sorento PHEV. Buyers in Blakely, Carnbondale, Scranton, Dickson City, and Clarks Summit naturally want to know what the implications are in terms of electric-only driving range and charging. Here is a closer look at what to expect in terms of range and charging from the 2025 Sorento PHEV.
Electric-Only Range
With an expected electric-only driving range of around 30 miles, the 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV isn't a substitute for an all-electric vehicle. The idea is to take the bite out of daily driving costs while maintaining the long gas-electric range of a typical hybrid. Especially if there is an appropriate charging station where you park during work or errands, the Sorento PHEV's electric-only driving range can save you a lot of money coming and going.
You also get the assurance of running the Sorento PHEV in hybrid mode once the charge is gone. The maximum highway driving range for the 2025 Sorento PHEV is more than 500 miles on a single fill-up.
Level 2 Charging
The 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV has a 13.8-kWh battery. Notably, this design provides enough juice to operate the PHEV solely on electricity for its 30-mile range. Folks who want to maximize the Sorento PHEV's all-electric capability must regularly charge it with a Level 2 charging station. The 2025 Sorento PHEV should fully recharge its battery from depletion in 3.5 hours, making it ideal for charging overnight or while your SUV is parked for part of the day.
Level 2 chargers are the most commonly available systems in North America. Many businesses have these chargers on-site to serve customers or reward employees. You also can have an electrician install a Level 2 charging station at your home to get the most out of the 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV.
