Grand Kia - 2026 Kia EV9 NACS Fast Charging Benefits for Drivers around Longmont, CO

If you’ve been wondering how easy long-distance charging really is with a modern three-row EV, the 2026 Kia EV9 puts that curiosity to rest. With a built-in North American Charging Standard (NACS) charge port, the EV9 connects you to one of the largest public DC fast charging ecosystems in the country, including access to thousands of Tesla Superchargers. That network scale matters for daily life around Longmont, CO and throughout Colorado’s Front Range—where weekend ski trips, work commutes, and scenic drives often span different elevations and temperatures. The EV9’s innovative charging system supports ultra-fast DC fast charger compatibility, enabling 10-80% replenishment in as little as 24 minutes on a 350kW charger, depending on conditions. Translation: Grab a coffee, stretch the legs, and you’ll be back on the road quickly.

Charging confidence is about more than just the plug standard. The EV9 keeps your routine consistent with smart features designed for real-world use. In colder weather, an available heat pump helps preserve usable range, while a battery warmer can enhance charging performance—especially helpful on early morning departures to the slopes. The EV9’s Kia Connect app also plays its part, letting you check charging status, precondition the cabin, or plan routes with charging stops from your phone. Once on the move, a nearly 30-inch Digital Cockpit provides intuitive access to vehicle info and navigation, so you can focus on the drive and arrive more relaxed.

• Built-in NACS access: A native NACS port means you can plug in at many Tesla Superchargers and other compatible stations, expanding fast-charging options along I-25, I-70, and across the Rockies.
• Ultra-fast capability: The EV9 is engineered for high-speed DC fast charging that can bring you from 10-80% in as little as 24 minutes on a 350kW charger, depending on conditions.
• Cold-weather readiness: An available heat pump and battery warmer help support charging and range when temperatures drop.
• Smarter planning: Kia Connect integrates route planning and charging status to simplify daily life and longer getaways.

For families and adventurers who pack in a lot of activity, the EV9’s charging story pairs well with its capable chassis. Available Dual Motor e-AWD and Terrain Mode provide traction on variable terrain; an available 5,000-lb towing capacity empowers campsite and gear hauling; and cabin comfort stands out thanks to flexible seating for up to seven and abundant storage designed into every row. The optional Meridian™ Premium Audio system, available ambient mood lighting, and quiet cabin technologies elevate the travel experience during those charging breaks—you might even look forward to the pause.
