How do Electric cars work?
An electric car is just like any other car, except it uses a battery to drive a powerful electric motor. This makes them more economical and with no emissions, better for the environment. And instead of refuelling you simply recharge at home, or at one of the many public charge points. It can even add charge to the battery while you are driving by recovering energy that would normally be lost - when braking for example.
• Electric Kias can cover long distances with zero tailpipe emission. In fact, our EV6 can go up to 328 miles (combined WLTP testing) on a single charge.
• Our models can be charged from home or a public charge point using Type 2 and CCS standard sockets. At a rapid DC charging station they will charge in less time than you need to take a break.
• For added efficiency, Kia electric cars come with regenerative braking, which allows them to funnel significant amounts of energy back to the battery through braking or deceleration. It’s also a new way of driving, using the brake pedal a lot less and relying on regenerative braking instead.
Reasons to drive a Kia Electric car
There are substantial benefits to owning an electric car. Here's just a few.
Cheaper to run
Because electricity is cheaper than petrol or diesel, your journey could cost less than a third of what it would in a combustion - engine car. Battery-electric vehicles can also travel for free in the UK’s new Clean Air Zones and London’s Congestion Zone.
There are tax incentives too. Company car drivers are subject to lower company car BIK tax. Which for battery-electric cars is just 2% until 2025.
Zero Emissions
An electric vehicle doesn’t have a tailpipe, which means no exhaust emissions. This helps improve air quality, particularly in urban areas.
Longer Range
Do you sometimes travel long distance? Whatever your lifestyle, electric cars are convenient to use both for short and long journeys. Not only do they benefit from significant range, but they charge fast and you can rely on convenient public charging solutions like Kia Charge.
Relaxing Drive
Electric cars are incredibly quiet, making for a more relaxing atmosphere. Driving is easy too, because electric motors produce maximum torque at all revs. That simply means you get maximum power without having rev through the gears, so acceleration is instant. Whether in town or on the motorway - and you’ll notice how relaxing and quiet it is.
The Kia electric range is available with 7.9% APR representative, and we've got offers to help you finance your Kia in a way that suits you.

Electric cars have a higher purchase price compared to conventional cars. But take a look at our electric cars’ attractive running costs - with a range of savings on electricity, tax or parking and robust resale values - and you’ll find them hard to resist.
If you have your own off-street parking space, you have an opportunity to make the most out of your electric car - both from a cost and convenience point-of-view. With your own home charge point and the right energy tariff, you will be able to leverage the best possible recharge costs while having a car that’s always ready when you need it. Kia can help you along on this journey, with exclusive offers from our preferred partners.
Public charging has come a long way. Not only is there a very significant, and fast-expanding public charging network at your disposal, but solutions like Kia Charge now allow you to effortlessly navigate between the different charging networks and countries with a single solution.
A sustainable car is one that lasts, and that’s very much how we design our vehicles. Every Kia model benefits from our 7 Year Warranty that covers you for up to 100,000 miles, giving you reassurance and protection against unexpected costs.
What is it like to drive an electric car?
Rather fun, actually. Electric cars are incredibly responsive. That’s because unlike combustion engines, electric motors produce maximum torque at any rpm. So you can enjoy brisk, instant acceleration at any speed without worrying about gear changes - all that torque means electric cars only need one forward gear! The All-New e-Niro can surge from 0-62mph in just 7.8 seconds.
Handling can be impressive, too. Because the batteries are in the floor, electric cars have a low centre of gravity, which helps minimise body roll while making the car feel planted, providing a fun, dynamic drive. The All-New e-Niro even has a sport mode!
If efficiency is your main concern, there’s an eco mode, too. The All-New Kia e-Niro offers a driving range of 282 miles (WLTP combined cycle) on a full charge - that’s London to Newcastle! For some everyday context, the average UK commute is just 10 miles - so the average person could do more than two weeks of commuting without needing to charge once.
Most charging with an electric car is done at home. But If you want to top up on the go, there are more than 7,000 public charging locations in the UK, and most of them have multiple connectors. Plug an All-New e-Niro into a 100kW fast charger and you’ll have 80% charge in just 54 minutes - that’s enough to travel 225 miles!.
