A more cost effective way to power your journeys

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 £22. 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.
