Frequently Asked Questions:

How long does it take to charge the Sorento Plug-in Hybrid at home?

Charging time depends on your setup. With a Level 2 home charger, most owners can replenish the battery conveniently overnight. Level 1 charging from a standard household outlet is also possible for topping up when needed.

Will cold weather reduce my electric range around Westminster?

Cold temperatures can affect any battery’s efficiency, so you may notice a modest reduction in all-electric range during colder months. Preconditioning the cabin while plugged in and using heated seats can help optimize comfort and preserve range.

Do I need public charging to drive electric daily?

Many owners complete most daily miles using home charging alone. Public charging can be helpful for unplanned detours or longer days, but the hybrid engine eliminates range anxiety by providing seamless backup when needed.
