Kia expands its EV network to over one million charging points in 27 European countries, making electric travel easier than ever.
A Major Milestone in Kia’s Electric Mobility Journey
Kia has reached a remarkable new chapter in its electric mobility mission. The automaker’s Kia Charge service now offers drivers access to over one million EV charging points across Europe.
This marks a key step in Kia’s ongoing commitment to providing sustainable, convenient, and user-friendly electric vehicle solutions.
The milestone comes as Kia continues to expand its EV lineup, which includes the EV3, EV4, EV5, EV6, EV9, and PV5 — models built to cater to every kind of electric driver.
Europe-Wide Coverage with a Growing Network
The Kia Charge network spans 27 European countries, offering drivers reliable access to public charging infrastructure wherever they go.
Impressively, 55,000 charging points are already available in the United Kingdom alone, reflecting Kia’s growing footprint across major EV markets.
This vast network helps eliminate one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption — charging accessibility — ensuring that Kia owners can travel across Europe with confidence.
Smart Integration with the Kia Digital Ecosystem
In addition to its expanding network, Kia is simplifying the EV experience through smart digital integration. The company has unified several key services — Kia Connect, Kia Charge, MyKia, Kia Warranty Book, and the Kia Owner’s Manual — into a single, easy-to-use application.
With this all-in-one app, customers can:
- Locate nearby charging points in real-time
- Track charging sessions and monitor costs
- Manage subscriptions and payment options
- Plan long trips using the Kia EV Route Planner
The Route Planner can detect charging stations along a route and automatically add them as waypoints.
A recent update also allows users to set a target battery charge level for each stop, optimizing charging efficiency during long-distance journeys.
Partnerships Powering the Future of Charging
Kia’s charging network is powered by collaborations with leading Charge Point Operators (CPOs) across Europe.
These partnerships offer users a wide selection of charging options — from low-power, overnight destination chargers to ultra-rapid charging units capable of powering up an EV in under an hour.
One of the most notable collaborations is with IONITY, a high-performance charging network co-founded by major automakers. IONITY currently operates around 5,000 chargers, but that number is expected to grow to 13,000 by 2030, further enhancing Kia’s overall coverage and service capacity.
Plug & Charge: Convenience Without Compromise
At select charging locations, Kia Charge offers Plug & Charge technology, allowing drivers to start charging simply by connecting their car — no need for cards or apps.

The process is quick, secure, and designed for maximum convenience, reflecting Kia’s customer-first approach to EV innovation.
Commitment to Renewable Energy and Sustainability
Every Kia Charge session supports the use of renewable electricity, reinforcing the brand’s environmental commitment.
Charging through Kia Charge is powered either by direct renewable energy sources or through certified renewable energy matching via Guarantees of Origin (GOs) — Europe’s system for certifying green electricity production.
At IONITY stations, all electricity used is 100% renewable, in line with IONITY’s sustainability promise.
For other charging sessions, Kia ensures that the equivalent amount of energy consumed is returned to the grid from renewable sources, helping drive Europe’s transition to clean energy.
Achieving one million charging points represents a significant milestone that underlines Kia’s commitment to providing our EV customers with a comprehensive ecosystem of public, residential, and depot charging solutions,” Kia stated. “This accomplishment highlights our contribution to advancing e-mobility and facilitating the shift toward more sustainable transportation solutions.
Driving Europe Toward an Electric Future
This milestone reinforces Kia’s vision of becoming a leader in sustainable mobility.
With its rapidly expanding charging network, user-friendly digital tools, and strong commitment to renewable energy, Kia is not just selling cars — it’s building a complete EV ecosystem.
Kia Charge’s growth showcases how innovation, sustainability, and accessibility can work hand in hand to make electric driving a practical reality for everyone.
Conclusion
With over one million charging points, smart navigation features, and a green energy backbone, Kia Charge stands as a major player in Europe’s EV landscape.
As the brand continues to expand its network and innovate in renewable energy use, Kia is proving that the future of transportation is electric, accessible, and sustainable.
