Possible Causes

Incorrect time or timezone set in Kia charger, Conflicting schedules between vehicle and charger, Firmware bug in scheduler, Network time synchronization failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: This is a control issue, not an electrical hazard.

  • 1. Verify charger time: In the Kia app or charger menu, confirm that the date, time, and timezone are correct.
  • 2. Check vehicle schedule: Disable any charging schedules set in the vehicle so only the charger controls timing, or vice versa.
  • 3. Test immediate charging: Disable schedules and start a manual charging session to confirm basic operation.
  • 4. Recreate schedule: Delete existing schedules in the app and create a new one, then monitor the next cycle.
  • 5. Firmware update: Install any available firmware updates that address scheduling issues.
