One card, one bill and 586,000 stations including 42,200 in the UK. The Kia Charge app gives you access to most UK and European public charging networks in one, convenient solution.
From planning your trips to paying for charging, Kia Charge is the only app and card you need. Charging on the go has never been easier!
Exclusive to Kia customers - it lets you enjoy unparalleled value and convenience when charging with IONITY Power subscription.
With Kia Charge, you can locate and use stations and access all necessary information like pricing and station availability across a vast and fast-expanding network. You can also use IONITY's extensive UK and European network of ultra-fast charging stations at the best possible price thanks to IONITY Power bolt-on subscription.
IONITY’s network of ultra-fast 350kW electric car charging stations is dotted along the UK and Europe’s major motorways.
Kia Charge already gives you seamless access to this network but with our £6.90-per-month quarterly bolt-on subscription, you pay only £0.59 per kWh in the UK or between €0..50 and €0.64 in most other European countries. That's only £27 for a 10%-80% charge of Kia Niro EV. You only need to charge from 10% to 80% three times a month to make up for the monthly fee!
Kia Charge already gives you access to the bp pulse network but with our bolt-on bp pulse subscription and for just £7.85 per month, you benefit from significantly reduced kWh prices across Kia Charge’s largest individual charging network.
Public car charging stations vary in type, and this means that they offer different charging speeds.
Best used for long parking stays like overnight on-street charging.
Perfect for charging quickly while en-route to a destination.
AC charging time refers to Niro EV on 22kW charger

All charging times featured in this table are indicative. Real-life charging times might differ.
If you rely solely on public charging it is worth researching operators like Source London, Ubitricity, or Connected Kerb as these providers specifically offer convenient near-home charging for drivers without a driveway or off-street parking.
Charging providers are continuously improving and adding to their charging locations and offer value for charging terms for local residents.
Ambient temperatures below 25°C can adversely affect how quickly your electric vehicle charges at the more powerful public charging stations. That’s why the Kia Niro EV and EV6 are equipped with pre-conditioning that prepares the battery – bringing it to the right temperature - before you reach a DC station.
This function automatically activates when you select a DC station to navigate to from the EV6 or Niro EV Kia infotainment system. This is intuitive technology that makes charging simple.
Kia has partnered with a pioneering EV charging platform &Charge, to reduce the cost of all-electric driving for its customers. By providing feedback on the charging stations, or shopping with &Charge partner stores, customers can now earn charging credits and together with Kia, help improve European charging infrastructure.
Kia is one of the first manufacturers to offer access to the &Charge platform, with the goal to provide a high-quality charging service, one that meets the standard set with the Kia innovative electric vehicles.
