Why choose a Kia EV?
Range & Fast Charging
Range anxiety is a worry of the past, with examples of Kia EVs capable of max 528km[A] of range. Most are compatible with DC Fast Charging stations, reducing charging times from hours to mere minutes.[B]
Unique driving experience
With instant acceleration response, our electric vehicles are genuinely fun to drive. Batteries are positioned underneath the car, giving them a lower centre of gravity and thus greater stability and handling.
Lower maintenance costs
With less moving parts compared to petrol and diesel engines, all‐electric vehicles require comparably less maintenance such as oil changes, spark plugs or fuel filters. You can also purchase scheduled services in advance through our Kia Service Plan program.
Sustainability
EVs have zero tailpipe emissions while hybrids have reduced amounts. In addition, some parts of our EVs such as EV6 & Niro range are made from recycled plastics and vegan leather to further lessen environmental impact.

FAQ
- What is a Full Electric Vehicle (BEV / EV)?
An electric car is just like any other car, except it uses a battery to drive a powerful electric motor. Instead of refuelling at a petrol station, you simply recharge at home, or at one of the growing number of public charge points. Kia Niro EV for example has a 455km electric range (WLTP) and is capable of DC fast charging at up to 100kw (0‐80% in 54 minutes).
- How do electric cars work?
Electric cars work by using an electric motor, which gets it’s power from a rechargeable battery pack instead of a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE). Then, the electric vehicle is plugged into a charging station or point, the electricity for which can be sourced from a power grid.
- How do electric cars charge?
An electric car is just like any other car, except it uses a battery to drive a powerful electric motor. Instead of refuelling at a petrol station, you simply recharge at home (optional charger available at additional cost), or at one of the growing number of paid public charge points.
Dedicated charging stations or ports are available across the country. However, there are different levels of chargers (Level 1, 2 and 3), which charge your car at different speeds and use different kWhs. The battery power and the how long electric cars travel in a single range, vary greatly by vehicle.
As of July 2022, Australia currently has just over 3,000 charging stations, which range from supercharged to standard outlets. The Electric Vehicle Council of Australia displays a map, which showcases all the active charging stations in the country.
