Where can my 2019 Kia Niro EV charge at Tesla Superchargers?
Yes. Kia vehicles have had official Supercharger access since April 2025. You charge at any Supercharger marked “open to non-Tesla” using the Tesla app.
The 2019 Niro EV has a CCS1 port. At NACS stalls you need a NACS-to-CCS1 DC adapter: the Kia NACS Adapter (ARSND916B4DIO) ($249). $249 at dealers. Free only for 2024/2025 EV9 and 2024 EV6 delivered on/after 2024-09-04. Niro EV owners and earlier EV6/EV9 buyers pay. Adapter details. Magic Dock sites (green) need no adapter at all.
At the stall: the 2019 charge port is front center. Expect up to about 85 kW at a V3 stall. Nose-in works cleanly; 85 kW peak (gen 2), 77 kW (gen 1), so no V3 penalty.
How to charge: download the Tesla app, choose “Charge Your Non-Tesla”, add a payment card, pick the site and stall number, plug in, then tap Start. Older V2 Superchargers (grey on the map) only work with Teslas.
- Still CCS1 for MY2026; 400 V, no V3 penalty.
- EV6/EV9 are 800 V E-GMP: ~100-130 kW on V3 stalls, full speed on V4.
- Plug & Charge for NACS-port EV6/EV9 arrived via update in late 2025.
Good to know about Superchargers
- Only Superchargers marked 'open to NACS partners' (V3, V3+ and V4 stalls with the Tesla app 'Charge Your Non-Tesla' flow) are usable by non-Tesla cars. Older V2 stalls are Tesla-only. A small number of V3 'Magic Dock' sites have a built-in CCS1 adapter and work for any CCS1 car regardless of brand agreement.
- V3 and V3+ dispensers run roughly 400-500 V and top out at 250 kW. 800 V-class cars (Hyundai/Kia/Genesis E-GMP, Porsche Taycan/Macan, Audi Q6/A6 e-tron, Lucid, Mercedes CLA, Cadillac Escalade IQ/GMC Hummer/Silverado EV in some modes) charge slower there unless they have an on-board boost converter. V4 cabinets (500 kW, up to 1,000 V) started going live in September 2025 and remove that penalty.
- V3 cables are short and sized for Tesla's rear-left port. Cars with a front or passenger-side port often have to park nose-in or across two stalls. V4 posts have longer cables.
- Adapters: only a DC 'NACS-to-CCS1' adapter approved by the vehicle maker is covered by that maker's warranty; Tesla's app will still let unapproved adapters charge, but the OEM may deny warranty claims. AC 'J1772-to-NACS' adapters are a different product and are irrelevant for Superchargers.
