Kia EV9 charging cable

The Kia EV9 is a seven-seat electric SUV built on the 800V E-GMP platform. UK models are available exclusively with the 99.8 kWh Long Range battery. A 76.1 kWh Standard Range is offered in selected European markets. The 11 kW three-phase onboard charger is standard across the range. At a three-phase post, the 99.8 kWh battery charges fully in around nine hours. At a single-phase 7.4 kW home wallbox, the same charge takes around fourteen to sixteen hours. DC fast charging at up to 240 kW recovers 10–80% in under half an hour. The CCS2 and Type 2 charge port sits on the rear right flank.

Choosing the right charging cable

A 22 kW Voldt® Type 2 charging cable is the right match for the EV9. At home on a standard single-phase 32A wallbox, its 32A conductors allow the car to draw the full 7.4 kW. At a public three-phase post, it delivers the car's native 11 kW. An 11 kW three-phase cable restricts a single-phase wallbox to a single 16A conductor, cutting the home charge rate to 3.7 kW. With a 99.8 kWh battery, that turns an already long fourteen-to-sixteen-hour overnight charge into a twenty-seven-hour one, well beyond any practical overnight window.

The EV9 is over five metres long, and the rear-right port means reversing into a bay brings it closest to the post. Wallbox and post positions are rarely optimised for a vehicle this size. A 6-metre cable handles a well-positioned home wallbox. An 8-metre cable is the practical minimum for mixed use. A 10-metre cable is the more sensible default given the car's length and the variability of public post placement. A 15-metre cable removes all uncertainty at hotel car parks, shared charging points, and longer driveways.

Portable charging away from home

The Voldt® portable CEE charging cable delivers up to 11 kW via three-phase CEE, matched to the EV9's onboard charger. At a red three-phase 16A CEE socket, the car charges at its full 11 kW: around nine hours for the 99.8 kWh battery, seven for the 76.1 kWh. Red CEE sockets are found at workshops, farms, and commercial premises. The blue single-phase 16A CEE sockets typical of campsites and caravan hookups deliver 3.7 kW: a partial overnight top-up at best on a battery this large.

A note on domestic wall sockets

The Voldt® Schuko/Type G compatible portable charger draws 2.3 kW (10A safe limit) from a standard domestic wall socket. With the 99.8 kWh battery, a full charge takes close to two full days. This is not a viable charging option for the EV9. For overnight home charging, a dedicated wallbox is the minimum requirement.
