Electric Car Public Charging

Electric cars are often charged at home, but it's important you're able to charge on the go in a convenient and fast way.

Kia Charge is Kia's one-stop-shop solution that lets you charge in the largest network of fast and high-speed electric car charging stations in the UK, and many more charging stations across 28 other European countries.

The Kia Charge mobile app and card open the door to the majority of the UK's electric charging points. With Kia Charge, you locate and navigate to stations, charge and pay, all with only one solution. Charging on the go has never been easier.

Three reasons why Kia Charge is the best way to charge your electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle:

Kia Charge gives you access to nearly 52,000 electric car charging points in the UK, making it the country's largest network. Its coverage currently includes network operators such as bp pulse, Pod Point, Source London, Instavolt, ESB Energy or Ionity among others.

Kia Charge lets you access charge points in 28 other European countries in exactly the same way as it does in the UK. All charging abroad is also billed in British Pound so you don't have to pay any pesky bank charge.

Kia Charge lets you access a wide network of rapid DC chargers - some of them as fast as 350kWh; allowing you to charge your Kia EV in the shortest possible time while travelling.

You have all information about the charging station at your fingertips, including the network operator’s name, socket type, charging speed and live availability information. Kia Charge also lets you navigate to your chosen station or plots routes with electric charging points.

Prices are usually expressed in £ per kWh or £ per minute. Registered users can view all prices applicable at each station before they start a charge their electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle.

All you need to charge across Kia Charge's different networks is your RFID card or mobile app.

Charge up and move on without thinking of paying a bill on-site or collecting countless receipts. With Kia Charge, all charging sessions are paid in a monthly invoice that summarises all of the month's charging activity.

With our optional bp pulse and Ionity monthly subscriptions, you can benefit from significant savings when charging within these two networks.

Kia Charge Easy is perfect if you only occasionally charge at public electric charging stations. It gives you the freedom to access most UK charging stations – with no monthly subscription fee.

Kia Charge Plus is made for you if you use electric public charging stations on a regular basis. It gives you 15% discount versus the Easy tariff in networks other than bp pulse, Pod Point and Ionity. It also saves you from paying a session fee in the UK.

Charging outside of the UK is subject to the visited country's Easy tariff, regardless of your UK subscription.
