Question 1

How fast does a Kia EV9 charge on a DC fast charger?

Accepted Answer

On a 350 kW charger a 2024 EV9 goes from 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes with the 76.1 kWh pack and about 24 minutes with the 99.8 kWh pack. Kia's 2026 owner's manual gives the same two figures, and adds 27 and 34 minutes on a 250 kW Tesla Supercharger V3. For 2025 Kia publishes two different sets of numbers for the 350 kW case: 27 and 34 minutes in the owner's manual, 20 and 24 minutes on the specification sheet.

Question 2

What is the Kia EV9's peak charging power?

Accepted Answer

Kia's specification tables give 235 kW for the 76.1 kWh Standard Range pack and 210 kW for the 99.8 kWh Long Range pack, and the figures are the same for 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Question 3

Does the Kia EV9 have a NACS charge port?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 EV9 does. Kia states that the 2026 model year EV9 comes standard with a NACS charging port, and lists it on the features table as an illuminated NACS charge port with a powered door. The 2024 and 2025 cars have a CCS1 port, and Kia gave a NACS adapter free of charge to customers who took delivery of a new 2024 or 2025 EV9 from September 4, 2024.

Question 4

How long does a Kia EV9 take to charge at home?

Accepted Answer

On an 11 kW Level 2 charger at 240 volts and 48 amps, Kia gives 6 hours 45 minutes for the 76.1 kWh pack and 8 hours 45 minutes for the 99.8 kWh pack, both from 10% to 100%. The onboard charger is rated 10.9 kW on every trim in all three model years.

Question 5

Does a 2026 Kia EV9 come with a CCS adapter?

Accepted Answer

An AC adapter is standard on every 2026 trim. The DC adapter is a $0 option on every trim and is standard in ZEV states; ordered from the factory it is available on the Light Long Range with the Light Long Range Battery Package. Kia's manual says to use only Kia Genuine DC adapters.
