Kia EV6, EV9, and Niro Owners Get Massive Charging Upgrade with Tesla Supercharger Access
Kia’s groundbreaking collaboration with Tesla enhances charging convenience for Kia EV Owners in the United States. By unlocking access to Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network, Kia takes a significant leap forward in electrified mobility.
Expanding Charging Accessibility for Kia EVs
Kia EV owners in the US can now access over 21,500 Tesla Supercharger stations. This is a big step forward for Kia’s electric cars. It gives drivers more options for quick charging. Before, Kia EV users had to depend on more than 22,000 stations from other networks. This change makes charging easier and helps Kia compete better in the EV market.
