Performance

The Kia EV9 RWD has a maximum power of 160 KW (218 hp/215 bhp). The total torque is 350 nm (258 ft-lb). It performs the 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) in 9.4 seconds. The top speed is 185 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 76,1kWh and a net capacity of 75kWh, meaning you have a 1,1kWh buffer for protection. (1.4%).

The WLTP range is 443 km (275 mi). The consumption is 16.9kWh/100km for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 233kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 38 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 16 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 1% to 76%, resulting in an actual charge speed, including time loss, of 152kW. Each charge session would take 22 minutes and 12 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 25kWh/100km, 1000km will take 9 hours and 29 minutes. This trip will require three charge session(s) charging from 1% to 79%. The total time lost for charging up the battery will be 69 minutes.

Onboard charger

For level 1 and level 2 AC charging, the onboard charger supports up to 11 KW charging. As a result, you can charge the battery 0-100% from home in about 6 hours and 49 minutes.

Charge port
