Overview

• Kia says Plug & Charge will be enabled on eligible 2025 EV6 vehicles by the end of September 2025 and on eligible 2026 EV9 vehicles in the fourth quarter.
• Owners must activate the feature in the Kia Access app and maintain active Kia Connect and Kia Charge Pass accounts with a default payment method.
• At compatible DC fast chargers, vehicle identification and billing occur automatically, removing the need for apps, cards, or on-site payment steps.
• Supported operators include the Tesla Supercharger network and Electrify America, enabling true plug-in-and-go sessions where the feature is available.
• The 2025 EV6 and 2026 EV9 have native NACS ports, but many U.S. non-Tesla fast chargers use CCS1 connectors, requiring adapters at those locations.
