How does Kia Charge work?

On the Kia Charge app, available on both Android and iOS, you can register if you don’t already have an account, and order your charging card. Once your account is activated, you can start using the Kia Charge services right away. From the app, you can plan your EV journeys, access public charging points information, including pricing, location, and availability. And to make things even easier for you, you won’t have to worry about payments every time you power up your car; all sessions’ costs will be invoiced to your account monthly.

What are the Kia Charge tariffs?

Choose Kia Charge Easy if you only occasionally charge your EV at public charging stations and opt for Plus if you’re always on the move and require charging away from home more often.
