Kia Will Give Free NACS Charging Adapters to Certain EV Customers

Kia is offering a series of charging adapters to its EV customers starting in 2025.
Owners who bought Kia EV6 and EV9 SUVs after September 4, 2024, will get a NACS-to-CCS adapter for free early next year.
Kia will also offer adapters to let future NACS-equipped Kias charge on CCS chargers and J1772 Level 2 AC chargers.
The automotive industry is shifting away from the Combined Charging System (CCS) port, used by the majority of current electric vehicles, in favor of the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port pioneered by Tesla. Most automakers will adopt the NACS port starting with vehicles assembled in 2025, but owners of existing EVs will be stuck with the CCS ports. This has led many automakers to offer adapters that will allow these owners to utilize NACS chargers, and Kia has now announced its own adapter that will be given to certain customers for free.
To obtain a free adapter, customers must have bought their new Kia EV9 or Kia EV6 after September 4, 2024. The offer applies to 2024-model EV6s and both 2024 and 2025 model EV9s. These free adapters will be sent to customers in early 2025. Kia says access to NACS-equipped DC fast-chargers will begin for Kia vehicles on January 15, 2025.
