The Kia EV9 is coming, and it's set to make a serious case for itself as the go-to inexpensive electric SUV. But you still may want to wait a little to buy one.
A big, new electric SUV is on the way — and it’s called the Kia EV9. Kia’s highly anticipated line topper will be big and spacious, offer a solid electric range, and will come at a lower price than much of the competition. Yeah, it’s kind of a big deal.
To be clear, there’s no guarantee that it’ll qualify for the tax credit when it does enter production in the U.S. Kia will have to make sure that production meets a series of requirements. And though the base model of the EV9 will likely qualify, you’ll need to stack on options carefully. SUVs over $80,000 do not qualify for the credit, and we’re pretty certain that you’ll be able to configure an EV9 over that amount. Full pricing for all models of the EV9 in the U.S. has yet to be revealed.
Convenience is king There’s another reason you may want to hold off a little. The first-generation Kia EV9 in the U.S. will come equipped with a CCS charging port. This is the charging connector that’s found at charging stations like Electrify America right now. But the charging world in the U.S. is changing – and quick. Tesla has opened up its NACS charging connector, and Hyundai recently announced it will begin shipping cars with the connector in the fourth quarter of 2024.
But if you don’t want to have to use an adapter at charging stations in a few years , it may be worth waiting until the end of 2024.
