Figures for the 2026 EV9 Long Range AWD. 20% to 80% is a typical daily top-up; 0% to 100% is a full charge from empty.
| Charger | Power | 20% to 80% | 0% to 100% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1, 120 V outlet (12 A) | 1.4 kW | 47 hr 10 min | 3.3 days |
| Level 2, 240 V, 16 A | 3.8 kW | 17 hr 41 min | 29 hr 29 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 24 A | 5.8 kW | 11 hr 48 min | 19 hr 39 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 32 A | 7.7 kW | 8 hr 51 min | 14 hr 44 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 40 A | 9.6 kW | 7 hr 5 min | 11 hr 48 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 48 A | 11.5 kW | 5 hr 54 min* | 9 hr 50 min* |
* Only if the car's onboard charger accepts that much power. On its EPA test it charged at about 10.6 kW; if that is its limit, a faster wall charger won't shorten the 10.7-hour full charge.

Cost to charge a Kia EV9
A full charge from empty draws about 113.2 kWh from the wall. At 18 cents per kWh it costs about $20.38, and a 20% to 80% top-up about $12.23. The EPA rates the EV9 Long Range AWD at 40 kWh per 100 miles, which works out to 7.2 cents a mile. The US average home rate was 18.16 cents per kWh in August 2026 (EIA); the EV charging cost calculator takes your own rate.
Kia EV9 fast charging
DC fast charging bypasses the car's onboard charger and is far quicker, but the speed depends on each model's charging curve, which slows as the battery fills. That's why fast-charge times are quoted from 10% to 80%. The EPA doesn't test DC charging, so check Kia's quoted figure for the EV9. The EV charging curve guide explains why it slows.
