Fast charging at a public charger (10→80%)

Fast charging on the road (DC = the rapid charger you find at motorway stops, not home charging): indicative time from 10 to 80 percent, calculated from the specs — not measured by us. Actual time varies with charger, temperature and battery level at the start. The 10→80% window is the standard benchmark because the final stretch (80→100%) deliberately charges slower to protect the battery.
Charging situation10→80% (minutes)
At the car's own maximum charging rate (210 kW) ~ 32
At a 150 kW charger ~ 45
At a 50 kW charger ~ 135
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

Charging at home uses AC power and is slower: a home wallbox typically delivers 7.4 to 11 kW. That is separate from the fast-charge times shown above.

Frequently asked

What does the Kia EV9 cost roughly?

Indicative starting price € 73,995 (reference date 2026-05-18). Not an offer.

What is the WLTP range of the Kia EV9?

563 km WLTP (manufacturer figure). Owners typically report less in everyday driving, especially in cold weather. See the reviews below.

How much can the Kia EV9 tow?

2500 kg braked (with trailer brakes) — the figure that applies when your trailer (such as a caravan) has its own brakes. Manufacturer figure; the exact, binding limit for a specific car is on its registration document.

How long does fast-charging the Kia EV9 take (10→80%)?

Roughly 32 minutes on a 210 kW charger (10→80%, factory calculation, indicative). Actual time depends on battery temperature and the charging curve — the car's charging speed drops as the battery fills.

How big is the battery in the Kia EV9?

99.8 kWh usable capacity (manufacturer figure). Check the warranty terms of the specific car for capacity retention.

What does the Kia EV9 use in real-world driving?

The factory WLTP figure is 20.2 kWh/100 km. Owners typically report more in mixed use, with the usual winter penalty. See the owner experiences below.

How much boot space does the Kia EV9 have?

333 litres (manufacturer figure). See the spec sheet for the full dimensions.

In depth

WLTP range 563 km for the rear-wheel-drive Long Range (manufacturer figure). DC charging peak around 210 kW; a 10-80% charge takes about 24 minutes (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Braked towing weight 2,500 kg. Indicative from-price; check the official configurator for the current figure.

About the Kia EV9 (2024)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The EV9 is a full-size electric SUV on the 800V E-GMP platform, the same base as the EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 but with a stretched wheelbase and a large battery. The car has six or seven seats; the third row is suited to occasional use and to children on a longer trip. WLTP range stands at 563 km for the rear-wheel-drive Long Range (manufacturer figure). The DC charging peak is around 210 kW; 10-80% charging takes about 24 minutes under favourable conditions (manufacturer figure, not measured by us).

In practice

WLTP consumption is 20.2 kWh/100km (manufacturer figure). Over a whole year, including winter trips, owners report mixed around 23.5 kWh/100km (owner forums, n approximately 12, not measured by us); that pushes the real range below the 563 km WLTP, especially at motorway speed. The boot is 333 l behind the third row, which expands considerably when the bench is folded. The braked towing weight at 2,500 kg is generous and matches many a diesel SUV. The indicative list price rose from about 71,995 euro (reference date early 2024) to 73,995 euro now, a from-price, no offer and no forecast.

Points to note

Winter consumption is, according to owners, 15-25% above WLTP. The size and the weight (more than 2,500 kg empty) make the EV9 less suitable for narrow city streets. As with the EV6 and Ioniq 5 there have been recalls around the ICCU charging unit; check whether a specific example has had the update (RDW/manufacturer, not verified by us per car). The high price positions the EV9 well above the EV6 and Ioniq 5; weigh whether the third row and the towing weight are worth that step.
