Kia EV9
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your EV9+−
The Kia EV9 has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 11kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 11kW on three-phase chargers. A 7.4kW cable would cap it. On a single-phase home wallbox both cables charge at the same 7.4kW.
Which Kia EV9 versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Kia EV9, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Kia EV9 GT
- Kia EV9 Air
- Kia EV9 GT Line
- Kia EV9 GT Line S
- Kia EV9 76.1kWh RWD
- Kia EV9 99.8kWh AWD
Whichever EV9 trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Kia EV9.
The Kia EV9 is a full-size three-row electric SUV, on sale in the UK since 2023 and built on the 800V E-GMP platform shared with the EV6 and Ioniq 5. Two battery options are offered: the Air trim uses a 76.1kWh pack as a rear-wheel-drive setup, while the GT-Line, GT-Line S, and GT variants carry the larger 99.8kWh battery in an all-wheel-drive configuration. Both use a Type 2 inlet for AC charging and a CCS port for rapid DC.
Day-to-day charging at home or on a public AC unit requires a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The EV9's onboard AC charger is rated at 11kW on three phases. For rapid DC sessions, where the larger battery can accept up to 210kW at a compatible ultra-rapid charger, the station provides its own tethered cable, so you do not need to carry one.
Select your battery above. The 76.1kWh RWD fills faster in absolute time; the 99.8kWh AWD takes longer but gives the greater range the EV9's size demands. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.
7.4 kW or 22 kW?
Which cable does
the EV9 need?
Despite the EV9's 11kW three-phase onboard charger, most UK home connections are single-phase, which caps AC output at 7.4kW. That is the ceiling at a typical home wallbox whatever cable you choose. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable delivers that full speed and is the right starting point for most owners. The EV9's large battery means a full charge takes longer than most cars, so starting a charge in the evening rather than late at night is worth bearing in mind.
A 22kW three-phase cable becomes relevant if you have a three-phase supply at home, which is rare in UK residential properties, or if your commute or longer trips involve stops at 22kW public AC chargers. At those points the EV9 pulls its full 11kW, meaningfully cutting the time needed for a mid-journey top-up. On a single-phase wallbox there is no difference in speed between a 22kW and a 7.4kW cable. A 5m lead handles most home setups; if your wallbox is set back or the car parks nose-in, a 7m lead avoids cable strain.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 99.8kWh battery from empty costs around £7 to £8 on an off-peak EV tariff at roughly 7.5p per kWh, and roughly £27 at a standard domestic rate of around 27p per kWh. The smaller 76.1kWh RWD battery costs around £5 to £6 and £21 respectively on the same tariffs. The EV9 is a large vehicle with a large battery: an off-peak overnight tariff makes a meaningful difference to monthly fuel bills. Public rapid charging at the speeds this car supports is convenient but typically costs 45p to 80p per kWh. Check current rates, as tariffs change.

Kia EV9 FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Kia EV9 charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Kia EV9 has a three-phase onboard charger, so with a 22kW cable and a three-phase supply it can charge at up to 11kW.
What length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
Does the Kia EV9 support V2L?+−
Yes. The Kia EV9 supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so a V2L discharge cable lets you run tools, appliances and devices straight from the battery through the Type 2 inlet, at up to 3.6kW.
What charging cable does the Kia EV9 need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC chargers. The EV9 uses a standard Type 2 inlet. A 5m lead suits most driveways. On a single-phase home supply, a 7.4kW cable gives the maximum available speed. A 22kW three-phase cable is only worth choosing if you have a three-phase supply at home or regularly use 22kW public AC chargers on your routes.
How long does the Kia EV9 take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase home wallbox, the 99.8kWh AWD battery takes around thirteen to fourteen hours from empty, so an early evening start is sensible. The 76.1kWh RWD takes around ten to eleven hours. On a three-phase 11kW supply those figures drop to roughly nine hours and seven hours respectively. A three-pin socket is impractically slow for a battery this size and is better kept for top-ups in an emergency.
Can the Kia EV9 use an ultra-rapid 350kW charger?+−
The EV9's 800V E-GMP platform supports very fast DC charging, with the 99.8kWh AWD rated up to 210kW. That peak is reached at a compatible rapid charger using the station's own tethered cable. The car cannot reach 350kW, but on a 350kW charger it will draw its maximum of around 210kW. AC charging at home is separate and unrelated to the DC architecture.
Does the Kia EV9 charge faster than a Kia EV6?+−
On DC the EV9 peaks at around 210kW, which is slightly below the EV6's 233kW. In practice the difference at most UK rapid chargers is small. At home on AC both cars are limited to 11kW on three phases, or 7.4kW on a standard single-phase supply. The EV9's larger 99.8kWh battery means a full home charge takes longer in absolute time.
