Kia has added to the number of dealers in its network who are designated electric vehicle specialists.

With a further six dealers joining the network, Kia hopes to make its Soul EV model even more accessible to UK car who are interested in choosing a greener option. Since its launch in November last year, the Kia Soul EV has proved a hit with electric vehicle buyers. With the £5,000 Government Plug-In Car Grant the Soul EV is available from £24,995, can do 132 miles on a single charge, and benefits from Kia’s fully transferable seven-year warranty.

The Korean manufacturer’s network of approved EV specialist dealers already covers the four corners of the UK, but by the end of this summer will be joined by new EV specialists in Eastleigh, Romford, High Wycombe, and Milton Keynes in the South, and Barnsley and Dukinfield in the North.

Kia UK’s National Franchise Manager, Ian Wilson, said: “By expanding our EV specialist dealer network, we are giving a wider range of customers across the UK the opportunity to go electric. The EV is not just an urban vehicle, and the breath of our network demonstrates this.”
