Kia EV9 owners can soon take advantage of the SUV’s “Vehicle to Home” power backup capabilities with the availability of a bidirectional charger coming in June.
The Wallbox Quasar 2 electric vehicle charger is the first home EV power connector in the US that works with the EV9 and is now up for preorder for owners and lessees of the vehicle.
The Quasar 2 can feed power to the EV9’s battery to charge it or draw from it to keep your home’s lights on during a blackout.
The charger also supports solar panels and includes software to manage energy flow from the sun to your car battery, home, and the grid.
