Why Make the Switch to an Electrified Kia Car?
There are many wonderful reasons to choose a Kia electric or hybrid car today.
Good for the Environment
Firstly, these vehicles are much kinder to the environment, as they produce far fewer tailpipe emissions than standard petrol or diesel cars do, and they are fully electric. This then helps you to improve local air quality and reduce our impact on the planet.
Save a Considerable Amount of Money
Secondly, you can then save a considerable amount of money on your daily running costs. As electricity is generally much cheaper than petrol or diesel.
So, if you can charge your car at home overnight using an off-peak electricity tariff, your cost per mile drops significantly.
Smooth, Quiet, and Relaxing
Furthermore, Kia electric and hybrid cars are fantastic to drive. They offer smooth, quiet, and relaxing journeys. As here, the power delivery from an electric motor is instant, which makes pulling away from junctions feel completely effortless.
Kia also provides a remarkable seven-year warranty on all new cars. This comprehensive warranty even covers the battery pack, giving you total peace of mind for many years to come.
Understanding the Different Types of Electrified Cars
The world of electrified driving has a few different options to consider. It is important to know the difference between them so you can choose the right car for your daily needs.
Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicles
A mild hybrid uses a very small battery and a motor to assist the petrol or diesel engine. You cannot plug this type of car in to charge it.
The battery charges itself automatically when you brake or slow down. It helps to slightly reduce your fuel usage and lower your emissions. You simply fill it up with standard fuel and drive it exactly as you normally would.
Self-Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles
A full hybrid, often known as a self-charging hybrid, has a larger battery than a mild hybrid.
It can drive for short distances on electric power alone, usually at low speeds in heavy town traffic. Just like the mild hybrid, you do not plug it into a socket.
The car cleverly charges its own battery using energy from the engine and from regenerative braking. It is a brilliant choice if you want better fuel economy without ever worrying about charging cables.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
A plug-in hybrid gives you the absolute best of both worlds. It has a standard petrol engine alongside a large battery pack. You need to plug this car into a charger to fill the battery completely.
A plug-in hybrid can usually drive between thirty and forty miles on electric power alone. This is perfect for short daily trips like the school run or visiting local shops.
For longer weekend journeys, the petrol engine takes over smoothly, meaning you never have to worry about running out of electric range.
Battery Electric Vehicles
A battery electric vehicle runs completely and entirely on electricity. There is no petrol or diesel engine fitted to the car at all. You must plug the vehicle in to charge it up.
These modern cars offer the longest electric range available, with some new Kia models capable of travelling well over 300 miles on a single charge.
They offer zero tailpipe emissions and the lowest daily running costs of the entire Kia range.
Explore the Kia Electrified Range
Kia has one of the most exciting and diverse ranges of electric and hybrid cars on the market today. There is a beautifully designed model to suit nearly every family and lifestyle requirement.
The Kia EV6
The Kia EV6 is a fully electric car that truly stands out from the crowd. It features a stunning modern design and offers ultra-fast charging capabilities.
The EV6 is incredibly spacious inside, very comfortable, and packed with the latest technology. It is a fantastic choice for drivers who want a premium electric driving experience.
The Kia Niro
The Kia Niro is incredibly popular because it offers true flexibility for families. You can choose to buy the Niro as a self-charging hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, or a fully electric vehicle.
It is a highly practical family car with a large boot and plenty of space for all your passengers. The slightly raised driving position gives you a great view of the road ahead.
The Kia Sportage
The Kia Sportage is a brilliant and highly capable family SUV. It is available with mild hybrid, self-charging hybrid, and plug-in hybrid options.
The Sportage features a striking front design and a beautiful, high-quality interior. It is extremely comfortable for long motorway journeys and very practical for everyday family use.

It features bold, rugged styling and incredible interior room. The EV9 showcases the exciting future of Kia design and technology, offering long-range capabilities and a truly luxurious ride.
Charging Your Electric Kia at Home and Away
Charging an electric or plug-in hybrid car is much easier than you might initially think. Most owners choose the convenience of charging their cars at home.
You can have a dedicated smart home charger installed directly on your driveway or inside your garage. This is the safest and fastest way to charge your car at home.
You simply plug your car in when you return home from work, just like you would with a mobile phone. By the morning, you have a full battery ready for the day ahead.
Travelling Away From Home
If you are travelling further away from home, you can easily use the public charging network. There are thousands of public chargers located right across the UK. You can find them at motorway service stations, large supermarkets, and public town centre car parks.
Kia electric cars like the EV6 and EV9 also support rapid charging technology. This means you can add a significant amount of driving range in a very short amount of time, often taking less than thirty minutes while you stop for a quick coffee.
Servicing and Maintaining Your Electrified Kia
We know that many people wonder if electric and hybrid cars are more difficult or more expensive to maintain. The brilliant news is that fully electric cars often cost less to service than traditional petrol or diesel cars.
This is simply because electric motors have far fewer moving parts. There is no messy engine oil to change, no spark plugs to replace, and no complicated exhaust system to worry about maintaining.
Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles
Hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles do still have a petrol engine, so they require regular servicing just like a normal car.
However, because the electric motor helps the engine to do its job, the engine actually works less hard. This can reduce wear and tear over a long period.
Regenerative braking also means your brake pads and brake discs will last much longer. This clever system uses the electric motor to slow the car down, saving the physical brakes for harder, sudden stops.

Inside the cabin, you will find large, clear touchscreen displays that connect easily to your smartphone. You can use satellite navigation, listen to your favourite music, and make hands-free phone calls safely while you drive.
Kia Connect
Kia also includes an impressive smartphone application called Kia Connect. This clever app is incredibly useful for electric and plug-in hybrid owners.
Here you can use your mobile phone to check exactly how much battery charge you have left. You can also start charging the car remotely or even turn on the interior heating before you get inside on a freezing cold winter morning.
Safety Features
Safety is always the absolute highest priority for Kia. Every single model in the electric and hybrid range comes with advanced safety systems to protect you and your family on every journey.
These modern systems use smart cameras and radar to constantly watch the road around you. They can warn you if you are drifting out of your lane, help you park safely in very tight spaces, and even apply the brakes automatically if they detect an emergency situation ahead.
