SEVR EV Portable Charger (10A)
Plugs into any standard power point. About 129 km per 10-hour night, and it travels in the boot.
Most Kia EV9 charging happens at home, overnight. Here are the real numbers for a standard power point and a dedicated 15 A outlet.
The Kia EV9 has a Type 2 inlet, so any Type 2 portable charger fits. On a standard 10 A power point, a 10-hour night adds about 129 km (about 21% of a 99.8 kWh battery); on a dedicated 15 A outlet, about 194 km. A 20→80% top-up of the Kia EV9 takes about 28.9 hours on 10 A or 19.3 hours on 15 A.
20→80% is the everyday top-up. 10→100% is the worst case: arriving home nearly empty and filling to the top.
| Variant | Battery (approx.) | 20→80% on 10A | 20→80% on 15A | 20→80% on 7 kW | 10→100% on 10A | Nights on 10A, 10→100% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kia EV9 | 99.8 kWh | 28.9 h | 19.3 h | 9.0 h | 43.4 h | 5 |
| Variant | Battery | 20→80% at 28c | 10→100% at 28c | 10→100% at 18c | 10→100% at 10c |

Yes. The Kia EV9 uses the Type 2 AC inlet, like every EV sold new in Australia today, so any Type 2 portable charger fits.
About 28.9 hours from 20% to 80%, or 43.4 hours from 10% to 100% (about 99.8 kWh battery). Each hour adds about 13 km of range.
About 19.3 hours from 20% to 80% on a dedicated 15 A outlet (about 99.8 kWh battery). A 10-hour night adds roughly 194 km.
About $18.63 for a 20→80% top-up of the Kia EV9 at 28c/kWh, or $6.65 on a 10c/kWh overnight EV plan, including about 10% charging losses.
Not if you drive under about 150 km a day. A 15 A portable charger adds about 194 km overnight, and a 10 A one about 129 km. A 7 kW wall charger suits long daily drives or two EVs. See portable vs wall charger.
No. Powerboards and extension leads aren't built for hours of continuous load. Plug the charger straight into the wall, and stop if the plug or outlet feels hot.
