Kia EV9 charging questions

How much does it cost to charge a Kia EV9 at home?+

At the US average of about 16.5¢/kWh and the Kia EV9’s 100 kWh usable battery, a full home charge runs about $16.47. For 1,000 miles a month that is roughly $59. Your exact cost depends on your local electricity rate.

What is the Kia EV9’s charging cost per mile?+

The Kia EV9 is EPA-rated near 2.8 mi/kWh, so at 16.5¢/kWh it costs about 5.9¢ per mile to drive, compared with roughly 11¢ a mile for a 28-mpg gas car at $3.20/gallon.

How much does it cost to fast-charge a Kia EV9 vs at home?+

Public DC fast charging averages around 42¢/kWh, so a full Kia EV9 charge can cost about $42, roughly three times the $16.47 it costs at home. Fine for road trips, expensive as a habit.

Do I need a Level 2 charger for a Kia EV9?+

If you drive a typical 30–40 miles a day, Level 1 barely keeps up with the Kia EV9. Most owners install Level 2, see our installation cost estimator ($500–$2,500 typical).

Does winter change the Kia EV9’s charging cost?+

Yes. Expect 15–30% more energy per mile in freezing weather from cabin and battery heating, so winter months run higher than this year-round average. Preconditioning while plugged in helps.
