A hybrid vehicle uses both a gasoline engine and an electric motor to improve fuel efficiency.
A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) can drive short distances on electricity alone before the gasoline engine activates.
A fully electric vehicle (EV) runs entirely on battery power and is charged instead of refueled.
Yes. Hybrid and electric vehicles perform well in Washington thanks to strong fuel efficiency in city traffic and an expanding charging network across the state, including major routes like I-5.
Charging time depends on the charger used. Level 2 home chargers can typically recharge an EV overnight, while many public DC fast chargers can restore a significant portion of the battery in under an hour depending on the vehicle and charger.
Many Kia electrified models offer features such as advanced traction control, drive modes, and available all-wheel drive on select models, helping drivers stay confident in rain and winter conditions common throughout the region.
