Standard technology includes a large touchscreen display, wireless smartphone integration and charging, and an extensive suite of safety features.
New Kia Plug-In Hybrids
Kia Niro Plug-In Hybrid
The Niro Plug-In Hybrid is a flexible choice for drivers who want electric driving for daily trips while retaining the freedom of gasoline power for longer journeys. It generates up to 180 horsepower, while the larger battery provides an estimated 33 miles of all-electric range. The Niro PHEV can charge overnight using a standard household-style power outlet. Or you can plug into a Level 2 charger to replenish the battery in under three hours.
Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid
The Sportage Plug-In Hybrid builds on the hybrid model with elevated performance (265 horsepower) and all-electric driving capability. It can drive an estimated 34 miles in electric-only mode.

The Sportage PHEV is also configurable to luxury levels with premium amenities like upgraded upholstery, heated and cooled ventilated front seats, a surround-view monitor, and a Harman Kardon audio system.
Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid
The Sorento Plug-In Hybrid offers a similar experience to its regular hybrid counterpart. However, it delivers more potent performance (261 horsepower), standard all-wheel drive, and an EPA-estimated 31 miles of electric-only range.

Kia Niro EV
The Niro EV provides an approachable entry into fully electric driving.

Depending on the setup, the Kia EV6 generates between 225 and 576 horsepower and provides up to 319 miles of estimated range in its most efficient configuration.
Kia EV9
The EV9 is Kia's new three-row electric SUV, designed to bring electrification to larger households. It's similar in size and function to the popular Kia Telluride, offering seating for up to seven passengers, a 5,000-pound max tow rating, and around 300 miles of range on a single charge. Other highlights include dual widescreen displays, high-quality sustainable materials, and advanced safety technologies. A sporty new EV9 GT model will join the roster in late 2025, boasting 500 horsepower, an electronically controlled suspension system, and upgraded handling dynamics.
Upcoming Electrified Kia Models
Kia has even more electrified options on the horizon. The EV3 is expected to debut as a budget-friendly subcompact crossover in 2026, offering Kia's electric expertise in a smaller and more affordable package. Meanwhile, the EV4 will expand Kia electrification into the compact sedan market with an estimated 235 to 330 miles of range.
Common Questions
A federal tax rebate of $7,500 is available on most EV models. Depending on where you live, state and local rebates and incentives may also be available. Check with your sales associate to find out if the model is eligible for rebates and incentives.
Other advantages of owning an EV include:
- Eligible EVs may also qualify for HOV lane access, which are normally restricted to vehicles with multiple passengers.
- Many electric companies offer lower rates based on the time of use. With EVs, you can save money by charging during off-peak times.
- If you're able to charge from work or home, there's usually no need to stop to refuel like you would in a gas-powered vehicle.
- EVs produce zero tail-pipe emissions resulting in cleaner air and better health.
This will vary depending on the local price of electricity and gas and where you are charging (at home or public charger), but most EV owners can expect to save on fuel cost. A recent Consumer Reports study found the “typical EV owner who does most of their fueling at home can expect to save an average of $800 to $1,000 a year on fueling costs over an equivalent gasoline-powered car.”

A recent Consumer Reports study found “maintenance and repair costs for EVs are significantly lower over the life of the vehicle – about half – than for gasoline–powered vehicles, which require regular fluid changes and are more mechanically complex. The average dollar savings over the lifetime of the vehicle is about $4,600.”

Gas powered vehicles offer a range of 300-400mi. Battery electric vehicles offer a median range of 250mi. For EV owners who charge at home, this is more than enough for daily use. For longer drives beyond the range of your vehicle, check a public charger map for charger availability along your route.
- Level 1 chargers use a standard household outlet and charge about 2-5 miles of range per hour, making Level 1 a good choice for plugin hybrid vehicles but not battery electric vehicles.
- Level 2 chargers can be installed at your home by a professional electrician and charge about 10-20 miles of range per hour. A good choice for any EV when charging overnight or all-day is possible.
- Level 3 fast chargers are the most efficient and can be found at commercial locations. Level 3 can charge about 60-80 miles of range in about 20 minutes, making it a good choice for any EV when a quick charge is needed on the go.
Yes, Level 1 and Level 2 chargers can be used at home. In fact, the standard 120V outlet supports a Level 1 charger. Level 2 chargers require 240V and can be installed by a licensed electrician. If you do not own your home, you may need to work with your property owner to install a Level 2 charger.
Most batteries will last between 100,000 and 200,000 miles when properly cared for. With battery technology continually advancing, that number should continue to increase.
