Supercharger Access By Model Year
A NACS filter should include both native vehicles and verified adapter-supported vehicles, but the hardware and adapter requirement must remain explicit.
| Model year | AC connector | DC connector | Tesla Supercharger access |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-2025 EV9 | J1772 | CCS1 | Kia-approved NACS DC adapter |
| 2026 EV9 | NACS | NACS | Native |
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.
