I had my 220V-50 Amp line installed with a 14-50 NEMA outlet.

I purchased a level 2 charger with for 220/240V with a 40 Amp limit.

When in operation, I am getting 222V at 41-42Amps at 9.2kW.

I have read that the EV6 allows up to 11kW of charging and can accept up to 48-50 Amps.

I assume everything is good! Home charging is pretty fast now.

Should I have any concerns?

Nope. You stated your limitation right in the post!

Your line is 50A (so 42A continuous) and your L2 EVSE is pulling 41-42A which sounds right. So adding it up and the 9ish kW is correct.

If you want the full 11kW, your line needs to be rated at 60A and your EVSE has to be hardwired. (Portable or pluggable EVSE units top out at 9.6kW).

You have it right. Your only concern should be when you charge. Check with your power company if they have time-of-day rates. It may be cheaper at night and they may have an incentive program or rebates for EV's.

Which level 2 charger did you buy?
Are you happy with your purchase?

my dealership offers an “at cost” Kia one at a whopping 700$

Do confirm that wiring sizes and types meet the minimum code requirements (EV Charger Breaker & Wire Size Reference).

Also, check on how warm the outlet becomes after charging for a while. Some of the cheaper 14-50 outlets are not meant for max continuous loads... NEMA 14-50 (indoor) outlets range in price from $15 to $100 for a reason. If so, I would throttle max current to a safer level (if allowed by the EV or the charger) or put in a better quality outlet.

Northern Cali PG&E EV Rates are ridiculous, home charging should always be cheaper than public charging IMO even during peak usage.

I have my ChargePoint installed hardwired that is capable 12kWh (240V-60A circuit with 50A effective current). I am constantly charging at 10.7-10.8kWh charging rate. This is KIA EV6 max rate. No reason to install anything more powerful.
