Top Reasons to Choose a Kia Electric Vehicle

Switching to electric power has many pluses, and Kia EVs offer some good benefits:

1. Lower Running Costs and Possible Savings: Forget gas stations! Charging an EV with electricity usually costs much less than buying gasoline. EVs also need less upkeep and no oil changes. Fewer moving parts in the electric motor system mean fewer possible repairs. Government programs like the Connecticut CHEAPR rebate and possible federal tax credits can make buying a Kia EV even more affordable.
2. Environmental Benefits and Zero Tailpipe Emissions: Kia EVs release zero emissions from the tailpipe. This helps create clean air in communities around Hartford. Driving electric reduces your impact on the environment compared to driving a gas-powered car. It offers a clean way to travel while still being fun to drive. The quiet motor also means less noise.
3. Fun Performance and Smooth Driving: Electric motors provide power instantly. This means quick, smooth acceleration when you press the pedal – great for getting on highways or driving in the city. Kia EVs offer quick steering response. Models like the EV6 and EV9 are available with all-wheel drive (AWD) for better grip in different weather conditions. The ride is known for being quiet and smooth.
4. Modern Technology and Connection: Kia EVs are packed with smart technology such as large, easy-to-use touchscreens with the Kia Connect system offering maps, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™. Advanced driving aids include Highway Driving Assist 2 (on some models) and adaptive cruise control, which helps keep the car centered in its lane. Some models also have vehicle-to-load (V2L), letting you power small items using the car's battery.
5. Good Driving Range and Fast Charging Choices: Worrying about running out of charge is less of an issue with Kia's newer EVs. They offer good driving distances for daily trips and longer journeys. Models like the EV6 and EV9 use Kia's advanced E-GMP platform with an 800-volt system. Charging at home using a Level 2 charger is easy, usually giving a full charge overnight.
6. Warranty for Peace of Mind: Kia offers great confidence with its excellent warranty. This includes a 10-year/100,000-mile limited warranty covering the EV battery and related powertrain parts, plus a 5-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty and roadside help plan.
