Kia has partnered with Electrify America to provide owners of the Kia EV6 electric car with a free 1,000-kilowatt charge.
Kia EV6 owners have three years to use up 1,000 kilowatts of free charging. To use it, they had to create an Electrify America account and sign in via the smartphone app. Kia will provide the owner with a registration code via the owner portal or the Kia Connect app.
“Kia is undergoing an important shift towards electrification and the All New Kia EV6 is the first major step in that direction, backed by the company’s state-of-the-art E-GMP platform,” said Steve Center, COO and EVP, Kia America.
