New Delhi: In a move that says “plug in, power up, and peace out,” Kia India has rolled out a full-blown electric mobility ecosystem ahead of its much-anticipated made-in-India EV debut — the Carens Clavis. And it’s not just another EV launch; this is Kia going full K-razy with K-Charge — a feature so powerful it might just shock your range anxiety into early retirement.
Accessible via the MyKia app, K-Charge plugs users into a network of 11,000+ charging stations nationwide (and no, they’re not just in cyber cafes or pan shops). Powered through partnerships with 18 top Charge Point Operators, the platform allows users to check live charger availability, plan EV-friendly routes, and pay seamlessly — all without juggling five different apps, seven different OTPs, and one existential crisis.
Kia’s EV arsenal doesn’t stop at maps and megawatts. The company has juiced up its infrastructure with 250+ EV-ready workshops, where technicians are trained to fix everything from a dead battery to a bruised ego. Over 100 Kia dealerships are now hosting DC fast chargers ranging from 60kW to 240kW — which means your car can charge faster than you can finish your overpriced airport coffee.
For the more introverted EVs that prefer charging at home, Kia offers 7.4kW and 11kW AC chargers that’ll turn your garage into a pit stop worthy of a Netflix documentary. And just in case you think this is all buzz and no battery, the Carens Clavis EV — Kia’s first India-built electric chariot — is revving up for its grand webcast reveal on 15 July at 1200 hrs. (Pro tip: Mark your calendar and pretend it’s a Formula E race.)
Joonsu Cho, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India, summed it up with the kind of confidence only a man sitting on 11,000 chargers can have:
“With our comprehensive EV ecosystem, we’re empowering customers to experience electric mobility with ease and confidence. This strong foundation allows us to support the next wave of EV adoption across the country.”
By mid-2026, Kia aims to expand K-Charge to 20,000+ charging points, proving that this isn’t just a one-time spark — it’s an electrified revolution. And with a history that includes the award-winning EV6, EV9, and EV3, it’s safe to say: Kia isn’t just building cars, it’s wiring the future.
