Kia names Ohme preferred EV charging partner for PBV range

Ohme has been named the preferred electric vehicle (EV) charging partner for the Kia PBV range of commercial vehicles.

Ohme will work with fleet solution and fuel card firm Radius to provide home and depot charging solutions through Kia PBV dealers.

All chargers can automatically adjust to optimise the cost of charging, ensuring the greenest and cheapest energy is used.

The chargers also offer CO2 saving data, enabling fleets managers to more accurately report CO2 data.

A Kia PV5 Cargo can be charged fully for £5.70, allowing for 258 miles of driving.

Paul Philpott, president and CEO at Kia UK, said: “Providing our PBV customers with an inclusive mobility service for their businesses is a crucial part of our strategy, and convenient charging goes hand-in-hand with our fully electric range of commercial vehicles.

“Our partnership with Ohme and Radius is a natural pairing, which offers the best charging solutions for a variety of customer needs.

“With this partnership in place, our PBV dealer partners can now offer an end-to-end commercial vehicle solution, backed with award winning product, renowned service and seamless usability.”
