Kia EV6 (2022–2026 model years verified): Charging

Battery packs

Model yearPacks, by trim
202258.0 kWh / 522.7V on Light; 77.4 kWh / 697V on Wind and GT-Line
202377.4 kWh / 697V on Wind, GT-Line and GT
202458.0 kWh / 522.7V on the base trim; 77.4 kWh / 697V on Light Long Range, Wind, GT-Line and GT
202563.0 kWh / 523V on the base trim; 84.0 kWh / 697V on Light Long Range, Wind, GT-Line and GT
202663.0 kWh / 523V on Light; 84.0 kWh / 697V on Light Long Range, Wind and GT-Line
  • The word "Light" is not a reliable key. It heads the 58.0 kWh column in one 2024 Kia document and the 63.0 kWh column in one 2025 Kia document, so match a listing on its model year and pack, not on the word.

  • State-of-charge window: none is attached to any of the times above in any of Kia's five specification sheets. Kia's 2025 Vehicle Feature Tips separately gives 10% to 80% in about 18 minutes on a DC fast charger.
  • Kia's two 2025 documents disagree on that time: about 18 min / 20 min at 350 kW for four of the five 2025 trims, 18 min only for GT.

  • The onboard charger is 10.9 kW on every trim in every model year 2022 through 2026.
  • Kia's 2025 Vehicle Feature Tips gives a different measurement for Level 2: about 9 hours for a full charge on a 240-volt charger. The specification-sheet times above state no state-of-charge window, so the two are not the same figure.

Connector and adapters

Model yearCharge port
2022–2024CCS1. Kia dates the native NACS port to model year 2025 and puts the 2024 and earlier EV6 in the group that needs an adapter to reach one
2025Native NACS, standard. Kia's 2025 owner's manual documents a CCS1 adapter, if equipped, which is what a NACS-port car needs
  • Kia sells three adapters: NACS to CCS1, which lets an existing CCS1 Kia DC fast charge on NACS; CCS1 to NACS, which lets a NACS-equipped Kia charge on existing CCS DC chargers; and J1772 to NACS, which lets a NACS-equipped Kia AC-charge on existing Level 2 chargers.
  • Buyers who took delivery of a 2024 EV6 from September 4, 2024 onward received an adapter free of charge; earlier buyers may purchase one from an authorized Kia dealer.
  • Charge port door location, 2025: rear, left side, standard on every trim.

Preconditioning

ItemAnswer, 2025 EV6
FeatureBattery conditioning mode, marked if equipped
What it doesHelps maintain charging performance at room-temperature levels when the high-voltage battery is hot or cold
ControlA switch on the infotainment screen shows its status and turns it on and off
NavigationSetting a DC charging station as a waypoint or destination optimizes battery temperature en route, which can reduce charging time
Remote startCan be activated from the smartphone app while parked; ends when the battery reaches the right range or after 30 minutes
CostUses battery energy to optimize temperature, which may reduce driving range
LimitsMay need sufficient time to work, and may not work to secure range if the charge is low

Scope note

Model years 2022 through 2026 are verified against Kia's own US specification spreadsheets, where each figure is tied to a named trim column in the file itself. Preconditioning is verified against the 2025 owner's manual only and should not be read as applying to any other model year. The 2026 EV6's charge-port type is not claimed: no Kia document opened for this sheet states it.
