Here are some of our key favourite benefits of driving an EV. Why don't you book a test drive to discover them for yourself?
The benefit of an electric battery is they deliver maximum torque immediately, meaning the vehicle delivers instant throttle response and impressive acceleration. Handling is also typically more superior thanks to the positioning of the battery which provides a low centre of gravity.
If you are driving in a town at low speed or on a motorway cruising you'll notice how much quieter an EV is in comparison to traditionally fueled vehicles, which creates a more relaxing drive and has the benefit of helping to reduce noise pollution.
EVs can be convenient for both short and long distances. Kia's impressive vehicle range across it's line-up of Electric Vehicles make travelling long distances easy, and with Kia Charge you have the added benefit of extra convenience when using public chargers.
Driving an EV can provide you extra peace of mind as you will be helping to contribute towards a more eco-friendly environment thanks to no harmful tailpipe emissions.
Driving an EV can come with a host of financial savings, including a number of different tax benefits and exemptions.
