K-Charge: Your Seamless Charging Companion
To address common concerns of EV ownership, Kia India developed the K-Charge platform. This platform integrates seamlessly within the MyKia app, providing access to a fast-growing network of over 11,000 charging points across India. Kia has partnered with 18 leading Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to achieve this extensive coverage. The network spans both urban and highway routes, supporting daily commutes and long-distance travel.
Furthermore, the K-Charge feature offers live charger availability and route planning directly through the MyKia app. This streamlines payment options, eliminating the need for multiple third-party apps and simplifying the charging experience. Kia India plans to enhance K-Charge access to over 20,000 charging points by mid-2026.
Comprehensive Service & Home Charging Solutions
Strengthening this ecosystem, Kia has established a dedicated network of over 250 EV-ready workshops nationwide. These workshops are equipped with specialized tools, equipment, and trained EV technicians. Over 100 Kia dealerships already feature DC Fast Chargers, ranging from 60kW to 240kW, ensuring quick charging during routine visits.
Additionally, Kia offers advanced home charging solutions. These include support for both 7.4kW and 11kW AC chargers. This provides flexible and efficient at-home charging options that surpass most mass-market EV offerings in India.
By interlinking advanced vehicles, a comprehensive charging network, digital solutions, and customer-first service, Kia India is setting new benchmarks for electric mobility. The company aims to make its EV ecosystem more than just infrastructure; it is a complete experience designed to offer confidence, convenience, and sustainability for everyone.
