Kia EVs, Hybrids, & PHEVs
EVs are an exciting new addition to the market, as they don’t need a drop of gasoline to get you where you’re going. While EVs are still fairly new, you’ll find plenty of exciting options at Kia of Murfreesboro. This includes popular models like the EV6, the EV9, and the comfortable Niro EV.
View InventoryWhy You Should Choose a Kia EV
You’ve probably driven ICE models for most of your life. If you’re hesitant about switching to an EV, then you might want to learn more about the benefits that they bring to the table. For example, with an EV, you’ll have:
- The Ability to Charge Your Car at Home: Imagine how great life would be if you had a gas pump at your house. EVs can be charged from home with the right equipment, which means that you’ll be able to charge your battery overnight.
- A Powerful Warranty: Kia EVs come with a 10-year or 100,000-mile Battery Limited Warranty, so you can rest easy when you’re behind the wheel.
- Less Maintenance to Worry About: Are you tired of constantly bringing your model in for an oil change? One of the biggest differences between EVs and regular cars is the fact that they have fewer parts. This means that there will be fewer things to service, as you don’t have oil, spark plugs, and other components to worry about. While you’ll still need routine service for some things, like your tires, you won’t have to visit our service bay nearly as often.
Explore Our Hybrids & PHEVs
Switching from an ICE vehicle to an EV can be a pretty big jump. If you’re looking for a middle ground, then you may want to explore our hybrid selection.
- Hybrid Vehicles: Hybrid vehicles combine an engine with a motor. This makes them significantly more efficient, as the engine doesn’t have to work as hard. Hybrid models also don’t have to be charged, so they’re a great middle-ground between a regular model and an EV. At Kia of Murfreesboro, we’ve got plenty of hybrid options to explore, like the Niro Hybrid, the Sportage Hybrid, the Sorento Hybrid, and the Carnival MPV Hybrid.
- Plug-in Hybrid Models: Plug-in hybrid vehicles have to be charged on a regular basis. Models like the Sorento Plug-in Hybrid, the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid, and the Niro Plug-in Hybrid are exceptionally efficient. There’s also one huge perk that they bring to the table, as these vehicles offer an all-electric range. While each model varies, you should be able to run most of your errands without even touching your gasoline. You can conveniently switch between hybrid performance and all-electric power depending on your needs.
Your Charging Options
If you’re new to the world of EVs, then you might not be sure how to handle charging your vehicle. There are a few ways to go about it, but with the right charger, you can charge your EV6, EV9, or Niro EV from home.
- The Kia Connect App: This app opens up new doors, as it’ll give you access to features like Remote Start. You can also easily check the battery level of your EV, and your estimated range. You even have options for charging your model, as you can configure your charging times through the app.
- Consider a Home Charger: Kia has officially teamed up with ChargePoint, so you can choose to outfit your home with a powerful, available Level 2 Charging System. This is a new level of convenience, as you’ll be able to wake up to a full range each and every morning. These chargers are also built to last, which is why they come with a 3-year Limited Warranty.
- Charging On The Go: If you plan on going on any road trips soon, then you should know that there are plenty of public fast chargers available across the nation. These generally charge much faster than the level 2 chargers that you would have at home, so you’ll be able to get back on the road quickly.
