Kia EV9 99.8 kWh AWD GT-Line EV charger: which one fits best?
The Kia EV9 99.8 kWh AWD GT-Line is the top trim of the 99.8 kWh EV9, Kia's large seven-seat SUV. It has all-wheel drive and a usable battery capacity of 96 kWh. At home, this top version charges through its onboard charger at up to 11 kW. The onboard charger is built into the car and determines how much AC charging power the vehicle can accept. A suitable EV charger should match that capability. Kia offers the EV9 in several versions, and each Kia model has its own charging overview. You can find them all in our Kia EV charger overview.
For the Kia EV9 99.8 kWh AWD GT-Line, we recommend a charger from our range of 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Kia EV9 99.8 kWh AWD GT-Line?
The GT-Line charges at home at up to 11 kW through a three-phase connection. A 22 kW EV charger will not make this Kia charge any faster because the car itself is limited to 11 kW AC charging. An 11 kW EV charger is therefore the logical choice.
For many drivers, the meter inside the charger is more important than additional charging power. A MID meter is a certified kWh meter that records exactly how much electricity is used for charging. This keeps the car's charging consumption separate from the rest of your household use. You can therefore see how much electricity the vehicle actually uses. EV chargers with a MID meter are also available with 11 kW charging power.
Browse all 11 kW EV chargers to compare the different options. We always recommend having the connection installed by a qualified electrician. This is safer and can also be important for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter can arrange the installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany.
How long does the Kia EV9 99.8 kWh AWD GT-Line take to charge?
With an 11 kW EV charger, you can charge the 96 kWh battery from nearly empty to full in about 10.5 hours. Plug the car in during the evening and it will be ready again the next morning, with a WLTP range of around 505 km. On longer journeys, you can use a DC fast charger instead. Thanks to its 800 V system, the GT-Line can accept up to around 210 kW at a compatible CCS fast charger, allowing you to add a substantial amount of range during a short stop.
The GT-Line uses a Type 2 connection for home charging, like most modern electric cars. You need a separate Type 2 charging cable when using a charger with a socket or at a public charge point without a fixed cable.
Bidirectional charging with the GT-Line
The EV9 GT-Line can not only take in electricity, but also supply it again. With Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), you can power electrical devices directly from the car at around 3.6 kW. The vehicle also supports Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) over AC at up to 11 kW. Whether and how these functions can actually be used depends on the available services, charging infrastructure and regulations in your country. If this interests you, take a look at a bidirectional EV charger. These models are designed for applications such as V2H and V2G.
Other versions of the Kia EV9
Wallbox Discounter also provides charging information for other versions of the Kia EV9:
- Kia EV9 99.8 kWh AWD / RWD: the same battery without the GT-Line equipment
- Kia EV9 76.1 kWh RWD: a smaller battery and a lower entry price
Frequently asked questions
Does the Kia EV9 GT-Line charge faster with a 22 kW EV charger?
No. The onboard charger of the EV9 is limited to 11 kW AC. Even when connected to a 22 kW EV charger, the car will accept a maximum of 11 kW at home. An 11 kW EV charger is therefore the appropriate choice for this Kia.
Do I need an EV charger with a MID meter?
Technically, no. However, a MID meter can be useful because you already charge at 11 kW and chargers with certified metering are available at this power level. The meter does not reduce charging speed and gives you a clear measurement of the electricity used for home charging.
Can I use the EV9 GT-Line to power my house?
The GT-Line supports V2L for individual electrical devices, as well as V2H and V2G over AC at up to 11 kW. To supply your home or feed electricity back into the grid, you need a suitable bidirectional EV charger and a compatible service in your country. Whether the function can actually be used therefore depends not only on the car, but also on the charging infrastructure and the services available where you live.
