Leaders in electrification
Kia has a long history of nationwide exclusive electric experience events, launching the latest electric car models to the public. During each of the past three years the EV6, Niro EV, and EV9 have each been showcased at dealer events prior to the models’ official on-sale launch date.
To support the public with the transition to electric, Kia ran ‘Discover EV with Kia’ in early 2024, giving expert advice to people who had any queries or concerns about going electric. The strong level of reception for these events, coupled with the brand’s renowned leadership in electric vehicles showcases the strong demand for Kia’s electric and eco model line-up.
Kia plans to launch 15 fully electric models globally by 2027, nine in the UK, as part of its ongoing ‘Plan S’ business strategy that was first announced in 2020.
