Kia Charge was launched in the UK in February 2021. Since then the number of UK charging points accessible to Kia Charge customers has grown by around 44 per cent to more than 20,500 – accounting for 69 per cent of the UK charging network. This includes around 2,500 DC ‘fast chargers’, which account for two-thirds of Kia Charge users’ charging activity in the UK.
23 UK charging networks are part of Kia Charge. Major networks available via Kia Charge include bp pulse, IONITY, Pod Point, Source London, Instavolt, Shell NewMotion, Osprey, Char.gy, and ESB.
In the last 12 months, Kia Charge has supplied more than 264 MWh of charging to UK users, with this number accelerating further each month as Kia delivers ever-greater numbers of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to customers. In 2021, EVs accounted for 16 per cent of all Kia UK sales.
