Battery Options and Motor Configurations 

Buyers can choose between a 76.1 kWh standard battery or a 99.8 kWh Long Range pack. The smaller battery comes paired with a single-motor rear-wheel-drive system. The larger pack allows more flexibility. It supports both rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive configurations. The dual-motor version adds power and traction while slightly reducing range.

Charging Specs of the 2026 Kia EV9 

Thanks to its 800V architecture, the EV9 supports ultra-fast charging. At a DC fast charger, it powers from 10% to 80% in about 24 minutes. Under ideal conditions, this adds up to 146 miles in just 15 minutes. Using a Level 2 home charger (240V), the larger battery needs around 10 to 11 hours to recharge fully. These numbers help owners plan ahead. Whether topping off at home or recharging on the highway, drivers stay on schedule. 

Charging Convenience and Connectivity 

Kia Connect and the Kia Access app offer real-time charging updates. Drivers use the app to find charging stations, start sessions, and monitor progress. With Plug & Charge support, the EV9 simplifies public charging. No cards or apps needed at compatible chargers. Just plug in and go. Additionally, Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) lets you power tools, lights, or appliances using your SUV’s battery. Road trips, campsites, and emergencies all benefit from this clever feature.
