That's only £27 for a 10%-80% charge of Kia Niro EV. You only need to charge from 10% to 80% three times a month to make up for the monthly fee! -
bp pulse - bp pulse bolt-on subscriptionKia Charge already gives you access to the bp pulse network but with our bolt-on bp pulse subscription and for just £7.85 per month, you benefit from significantly reduced kWh prices across Kia Charge’s largest individual charging network.

Get to 80% fast
When using DC charging, Kia electric cars’ charging speeds slow down once the battery reaches 80% state of charge to help preserve the battery’s longevity.
Bear this in mind and plan accordingly to help save time on longer journeys. -
No access to Home Charging?
If you rely solely on public charging it is worth researching operators like Source London, Ubitricity, or Connected Kerb as these providers specifically offer convenient near-home charging for drivers without a driveway or off-street parking.
Charging providers are continuously improving and adding to their charging locations and offer value for charging terms for local residents.
