ELECTRIC CARS

go electric banner

Take the lead. Drive electric.

Since launching our first Soul EV in 2014 to winning UK Car of the Year 2025 for the EV3, we haven’t stopped expanding our range of electric vehicles. We continue to lead the way with the new EV4 and EV2 further strengthening our commitment to accessible electric mobility.

The Kia EV6 and EV9 remain multi-award-winning flagship models, and together with our latest EVs, they reinforce Kia's position as one of the most innovative and industry-leading electric car brands.

How do Electric Cars Work?

All electric cars, also known as Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), are powered by an electric motor and battery, with an external plug socket to charge the battery. Our diagram below shows how these components work together in more detail.

All our electric cars can cover long distances with zero tailpipe emissions. Our EV6 can go up to 361 miles* (combined WLTP testing) on a single charge, while our newest electric car, the EV4 can travel up to 388* miles, the longest in our lineup.

All our electric vehicles can be charged from a home or public charge point using Type 2 and CCS standard sockets. At a rapid DC charging station, an EV will charge in less time than you need to take a break.

For added efficiency, Kia electric cars also use regenerative braking, which allows them to funnel significant amounts of energy back to the battery through braking or deceleration.

*The range was determined according to the standardised EU measurement procedure (WLTP). The individual driving style and other factors, such as speed, outside temperature, topography and the use of electricity-consuming devices/units, have an influence on the real-life range and can possibly reduce it.

 

 

Benefits of Electric Cars

The emission-free driving Kia electric car range comes with a host of sustainable and financial advantages. Join the charge and enjoy the benefits of driving an electric car.

  • Optimal performance



    All Kia EV cars deliver maximum torque immediately, so you get instant throttle response and brisk acceleration. Their low centre of gravity – thanks to the positioning of the battery – means you can also enjoy superior handling.

  • Electric only drive



    Sound of silence? Not quite, but drive a Kia electric car – whether in town or on the motorway - and you’ll notice how relaxing and quiet it is. This also means far less noise pollution.

  • Long distance driving



    Do you sometimes travel long distances? Whatever your lifestyle, electric vehicles are convenient for both short and long journeys. With Kia, you can enjoy an impressive electric range, as well as reliable and convenient public charging solutions with Kia Charge.

Cost of Ownership


Electric cars have a higher purchase price compared to conventional cars. However, with attractive running costs, a range of savings on electricity, tax or parking and robust resale values, you’ll find them hard to resist.
