Kia owners finally get access to Tesla Superchargers in North America

Kia owners in North America were initially supposed to gain access to Tesla's Supercharger network on January 15, but that got delayed to March, which came and went and nothing happened.

Thankfully, the wait is now finally over. Starting today, owners of the Kia EV6, EV9, and Niro have access to over 21,500 Tesla Superchargers in North America.

The 2025 model year Kia EV6, and the 2026 model year Kia EV9 come with the NACS charging port as standard. For every other model, you'll need an adapter to access the Superchargers.

You'll use the Kia Charge Pass program in the Kia Access app for charging via Superchargers, and you can also locate and navigate to available Superchargers through your Kia's infotainment screen. You'll get availability info, status, and pricing.

Seungkyu (Sean) Yoon, President and CEO, Kia North America and Kia America, said:

Kia is committed to an exceptional ownership experience and expanding the network of available DC fast chargers to our EV customers is an important component to maintaining the brand’s leadership in electrified mobility. Now, with access to the Tesla Supercharger network of DC fast chargers, our EV owners can feel even more confident in their decision to purchase or lease a fully electric Kia vehicle.
