Kia India expands EV charging network with 'K-Charge' feature in MyKia App

In a significant move, Kia India has partnered with multiple charge point operators (CPOs) for its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The company unveiled the 'K-Charge' feature in its 'MyKia' app, allowing users to locate more than 1,000 EV charging stations nationwide, according to an official statement released on Wednesday.

Notably, Kia India has gone beyond its customer base by extending access to this charging network to non-Kia customers as well. The collaboration involves five CPOs—Statiq, ChargeZone, Relux Electric, Lion Charge, and E-Fill.

Hardeep Singh Brar, the national head of sales and marketing at Kia India, emphasized that 'K-Charge' is more than just a convenience for customers; it represents a strategic move towards making sustainable mobility accessible to everyone. He stated, "We strongly believe that the transition to a fully electric future should be seamless, and the integration of K-Charge into the 'MyKia' app is a well-thought-out step in that direction."

Brar also expressed the company's commitment to further expanding the charging network by collaborating with additional CPOs in the future. The initiative reflects Kia India's dedication to facilitating a smooth technological transition towards a sustainable EV ecosystem.
