Kia Electric

REASONS TO GO ELECTRIC

Reliably cost effective

Electric and Hybrid vehicles may have a higher purchase price but take the strong residual values and relatively low running costs into account and the proposition becomes a lot more attractive.

Instant performance

With clutch-less operation and instant acceleration response, our electric vehicles are genuinely fun to drive. Our EV6, with its road-hugging all-wheel drive traction system, takes you from 0-62mph in only 5.2 seconds.

Range that goes the distance

Range that goes the distance
Kia electrified powertrains offer truly useable range and versatility. With our Hybrids and Plug-In Hybrids, you don’t have to compromise on total range compared to conventional vehicles.

Our Electric cars offer a range of up to 328 miles (Combined WLTP testing) – more than enough for the everyday and to venture out to far-away places.

Less tax

Good for the environment, great for lower tax. Whether you own your car or drive it for your company, Hybrid and Electric vehicles offer many tax advantages over conventional cars.

Fast charging has arrived

Kia Electric Vehicles can charge in a matter of minutes, not hours. Using the predominant CCS standard for DC charging, our EV6 is capable of charging from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes.

Contribute to a brighter future

Driving a Hybrid or Electric vehicle is one of the ways to help combat climate change so we safeguard our planet and children’s future.

What is an Electric vehicle?

Kia electric vehicles, or EVs, run solely on electricity. This offers quiet operation, zero tailgate emissions and breath-taking performance.

Electric vehicle technology has come on leaps and bounds. With technologies like our e-GMP platform, EVs can go long distances and charge in a matter of minutes thanks to a fast-expanding and easy-to-access network of public charging stations.

What is a Plug-In Hybrid?

Kia plug-in hybrid vehicles, or PHEVs, allow you to drive in electric mode on most of your short journeys, while allowing you to travel much further using both petrol and electricity. They are fitted with a relatively large batter which can be charged from an external source such as a home or public charge point.

When starting from a fully charged battery, Kia PHEVs can run in fully electric mode for journeys of up to 40 miles depending on the model. On longer journeys, they boast a range similar to that of conventional cars by using their engine and battery in tandem.

What is a Hybrid?

Kia hybrid vehicles, or HEVs, have both a petrol engine and small battery. The battery is said to be ‘self-charging’ meaning that it is usually replenished when decelerating.

Hybrid vehicles only function in full electric mode while stationary, at low speed or when decelerating. At other times, the battery merely supports the combustion engine to get greater fuel efficiency and reach a range similar to that of regular cars.
