WOMAN BUYS ELECTRIC CAR FROM KIA WITH A 30% CHARGE. SHE CAN'T BELIEVE HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE TO GET IT TO 100%

TikTok user @everythingsux._ posted a video from her driveway at home. “So I got a new car, electric,” she says. “I’m charging it at my house right now. It’s my first time charging it; the battery was at 30%.

Do you know how long it’s going to take for it to be fully charged? Seventy-three hours! I’m gonna be here forever.” 

The manner in which she’s charging is likely the problem. “The majority of home charging points provide this slow charging rate of 3 to 7 kW,” Kia says.

The Kia website suggests a household charge should take anywhere from 6.5 to 9.5 hours. @everythingsux._ is probably missing a 220-volt plug, which is what big appliances like washer/dryers plug into.

In the comments, a few users offered helpful advice, but most simply roasted the new EV owner. “did you plug it into one of those little white blocks that came with the iPhone?” quipped a user.
