HOW FAST DOES THE KIA EV9 CHARGE?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer thoroughly tested the 2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line's DC fast charging capabilities on a 350 kW EVgo charger, confirming Kia's claim of a 10-80% charge in 24 minutes. The vehicle achieved 10% in 3.5 minutes, 30% in under 10 minutes, and 80% in 28 minutes. The reviewer highlights the EV9's impressive charging curve, maintaining over 200 kW until 60% state of charge and averaging 183 kW from 10-80%. Notably, the vehicle added an average of 8.4 miles of range per minute in the first 10 minutes and 1.8 miles per minute between 30-40 minutes, underscoring the diminishing returns of charging beyond 80%. The reviewer praises the EV9's charging performance, especially within its price category, and commends Kia and Hyundai's E-GMP platform for its fast-charging efficiency, positioning them as strong contenders in the EV market.
