Switching to a Kia hybrid or electric vehicle is easier than you might think. We offer a broad array of electric cars and hybrid vehicles, including hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or electric powertrains.
The emission-free driving Kia electric car range comes with a host of sustainable and money-saving advantages.
Join the charge and enjoy the benefits of driving an electric car.
Electric and Hybrid vehicles may have a higher initial purchase price, but with strong residual values and relatively low running costs, they offer excellent long-term value.
A key advantage of our electric cars is the clutch-less operation and instant acceleration response. It makes our EV6 electric vehicle genuinely fun to drive, with its road-hugging all-wheel drive traction system taking you from 0-62mph in only 5.2 seconds.
Kia's electric vehicles offer a range of up to 328 miles (Combined WLTP testing), more than enough for daily commutes and ventures to far-away places.
With our Hybrids and Plug-In vehicles, you get the best of both worlds-impressive range and versatility without having to sacrifice the convenience of conventional petrol or diesel cars.
One of the major benefits of electric and hybrid cars is the potential for significant tax savings. Both private owners and businesses can benefit from lower tax rates compared to conventional vehicles.
For businesses, this makes Kia's electric and hybrid vehicles ideal for fleet use, not just offering cost savings but also contributing to corporate sustainability goals.
If you're concerned about how long Kia's electric cars last on a single charge, rest assured that our EVs are designed to go the distance. With fast charging capabilities, our EV6 can charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes, making longer trips more convenient.
Driving an Electric or Hybrid car is one of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint and combat climate change. The environmental benefits of electric cars include producing zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier planet in the future for us and our children.
Charging at home is economical but how economical depends on your home energy tariff.
With a flat kWh price of 30p, a full charge of your EV6 comes to £25.20. If you drive enough miles, an EV charging tariff can slash this cost and save you money overall.
EV tariffs usually involve a very low, off-peak kWh rate and a slightly more-expensive-than-usual peak kWh rate. Make sure you review the best energy tariff options to make the best of your Kia.
How long does it take to charge an electric car at home?
Whatever your model, having a dedicated electric car home charger lets you charge more quickly and more safely than with a regular 3-pin socket.
With a 7.2kW home charger, you can charge your plug-in hybrid in about 3-4 hours while an electric car takes about 10 hours so an overnight charge will do just fine.
Best used for long parking stays like overnight on-street charging.
*AC charging time refers to a Niro EV on a 22kW charger.
Perfect for charging quickly while en-route to a destination.
*DC charging time refers to an EV6 (10 - 80% capacity) on a 350kW charger.
Plug-In Hybrids (PHEV) provide an enhanced level of power, which can be sourced from both a petrol engine and a cable-rechargeable battery. This balanced engineering solution uses a larger battery, prioritising the use of electricity over petrol. It means you'll enjoy optimal fuel economy and better overall driving range, helping to lower your carbon footprint on every journey you make.
How a Plug-In Hybrid car works
Plug-In Hybrids have a battery and engine that support each other when needed.
The battery needs to be charged from an external source, like a home or public charge point.
The battery also charges when decelerating or going downhill.
Plug-In Hybrids can operate in electric-only mode at low and high speed for significant distances.
Optimal performance
Enhanced driveability delivered by the combined performance of a petrol driven engine and electric motor.
Electric only drive
PHEVs offer potential savings on fuel and help reduce emissions compared to traditional petrol vehicles. With your battery fully charged, you can make most short daily journeys without using one drop of petrol.
Long distance driving
Similar to a hybrid, the plug-in hybrid's combustion engine lets you drive long distances once the all-electric range has been utilised.
Hybrid to cope with every eventuality. Since launching our Optima hybrid in 2011, we have developed a range of outstanding hybrid vehicles that stand out for their efficiency, appeal and quality.
More than a flexible technology, our new hybrid car range honed to give you room for inspiration. Keep reading to discover more about what the hybrid driving experience can offer you and how you can find the best hybrid car for you with Kia.
• The battery and engine support each other when needed.
• Hybrid cars are self-charging meaning no external charging is needed.
• The battery charges during braking, deceleration or going downhill.
• At low speeds, when coasting, or stopped, a Hybrid vehicle can run in electric mode only
Consume less fuel
When you buy a Hybrid car, you can enjoy enhanced efficiency and fuel economy. The seamless coordination of the engine and battery not only provides power but also efficient use of fuel.
No need to plug in
Fill up the car with petrol just like any conventional petrol car. Our Hybrid system cleverly charges the battery whilst you are driving.
Less clutch, more drive
Enjoy the performance of two combined power sources funnelled through an automatic or dual-clutch gearbox. The system automatically changes gears swiftly and seamlessly for maximum driving enjoyment.
Kia Electric and Hybrid cars use electric power or a combination of electric and petrol power to drive the engine. This makes them more economical to run with lower emissions than a traditional petrol driven car. So, whether you want to reduce your carbon footprint, or simply wish to lower the cost of running your car, there are plenty of reasons to go electric and making the switch is much simpler than you might think.
A battery electric vehicle is better for the environment than a petrol or diesel car, cheaper to run and simpler to own. Like the sound of that? Our simple guide can tell you more.
A hybrid or self-charging hybrid car switches between petrol and electric automatically to optimise driving performance, improve fuel economy and lower emissions. Simply get in and the car generates power as you drive. No plugging in required.
Plug-in Hybrid cars use a combination of petrol and electric to offer you many of the benefits of an electric car and a petrol engine combined.
Our Electric cars use a battery to drive a powerful electric motor, while our Hybrids use a combination of electric motor and conventional engine.
A battery electric vehicle is better for the environment than a petrol or diesel car, cheaper to run and simpler to own. Like the sound of that? Owning an electric car is cheaper than you might think, with Government grants, tax incentives and lower running costs.
Switching between petrol and electric automatically to optimise driving performance, improved fuel economy and lower emissions, simply get in and the car generates power as you drive. No plugging in required.
A plug-in hybrid gets all the benefits of a self-charging hybrid, but it has a larger battery. This means you can plug it in at home or at a public chargepoint to give you a 30-mile electric range. When that electric range is depleted, the car automatically switches to self-charging hybrid mode.
