Charger options for Kia EV9
J1772 is the direct fit for 2024-2025; NACS is the direct fit for 2026. Both can use the EV9's full onboard AC capability. Check the connector and model year in the table below before purchasing.

Connector By Model Year
Public fast-charging adapters and the connector used in the garage are separate decisions. Match the row to the exact vehicle before buying equipment.
| Model year | Home AC | Public DC | Supercharger | Best home fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-2025 EV9 | J1772 | CCS1 | Kia-approved NACS DC adapter | J1772 EVSE |
| 2026 EV9 | NACS | NACS | Native | NACS EVSE; Kia-approved CCS adapter for compatible CCS charging |
Electrical Fit
- Maximum AC charging
- 10.9 kW on 240V AC
- Charge-port location
- Passenger-side rear quarter panel
Installation Recommendation
Select the cable only after confirming the model year. Use a hardwired 48A-class unit for maximum AC speed or a 40A plug-in unit when installation simplicity matters more than the last hour or two on the large battery.
A 2024-2025 EV9 may use compatible Tesla Superchargers with a Kia-approved NACS DC adapter, but it still needs J1772 for adapter-free home charging. The 2026 EV9 reverses that connector choice with native NACS.

32A EVSE
7.7 kW
Roughly 9.5-12.5 hours from 10-100%
Planning range scaled from Kia's published 2026 small- and large-battery times.

Kia's published 2026 range across battery configurations.
Before You Install
- Match the charger cable to the port you will use every night, not only to public fast-charging access.
- Decide whether you need hardwired 48A charging or a plug-in setup before scheduling installation.
- Check panel capacity and installation cost before assuming the cheapest charger is the cheapest setup.

Kia EV9 Home Charging FAQ
Does the 2025 Kia EV9 have a NACS port?
No. Kia describes the 2024-2025 EV9 as a CCS vehicle that can use a Kia-approved NACS adapter at compatible fast chargers. The 2026 EV9 has the built-in NACS port.
Can one home charger serve both 2025 and 2026 EV9s?
Yes with an approved AC adapter, but the cleanest daily setup is J1772 for 2024-2025 and NACS for 2026. Do not confuse the DC fast-charging adapter with an AC home adapter.
Is a 48A charger necessary for the EV9?
No. A 40A unit can still refill most daily driving overnight. The 48A-class option is most useful when repeatedly recovering the large battery from a low state of charge.
