Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)

Kia PHEVs combine the best of gas-electric hybrid vehicles and fully electric vehicles. PHEVs allow for extended fully-electric operation over an extended distance. Hybrid vehicles recharge batteries from the gasoline engine, allowing for a hybrid of gas and electric power. PHEVs do the same thing, but with the added benefit of being able to plug into an outlet to charge the battery as well. Many high voltage, quick-charge stations allow owners to charge their vehicles in just minutes. And for longer trips, PHEVs still have the convenience of a gasoline engine.

Benefits of Kia EVs

Highly Efficient Vehicles

Large Lithium-Ion Polymer batteries give Kia EVs improved efficiency and large capacities, so you can go where you want to without worrying about your charge. Combined with a high-efficiency motor, you get the power of a gasoline engine, with no emissions and better fuel economy.

Smooth and Quiet

Electric motors run smoothly and are quiet to operate. In fact, electric motors are nearly silent, even during acceleration. Power transfers instantly, too, so there’s no lag between when you press the gas pedal and when your vehicle starts going faster. Finally, since the dense batteries are underneath the vehicle, it has a lower center of gravity and better handling.

More Room For What Matters

Because electric motors and batteries take up less space than a traditional gasoline engine and drive train, it allows the vehicle designers and engineers more freedom and space to design the rest of the vehicle. This usually means EVs also have large cargo areas for their size (often in the front and the back), not to mention large screens and extra legroom.

Charging Stations Everywhere

Kia vehicles are able to charge their large batteries quickly using the Hyundai Motor Group 800V Rapid Charging System. This system can allow for over 60 miles of travel in just 3 minutes of charging. As the smart grid and Kia vehicles become more powerful and efficient, this will only increase. There are over 17,000 public charging stations, and each Kia EV has a built-in slow charge, so you can charge it at home.

Save Money

Since EVs have about 40% fewer parts than gasoline vehicles, they’re much easier to maintain. Additionally, there are government programs that provide EV purchasers with tax credits. Over the lifespan of your EV, you can end up saving thousands over a traditional gas vehicle.
