Kia UK has confirmed that the EV4 and PV5 Passenger are the brand’s first vehicles to gain support from the UK Government’s Electric Car Grant.

Every EV4 ‘Air’ and PV5 Passenger ‘Essential’ and ‘Plus’ now qualify for the UK Government’s Electric Car Grant Band 2, providing £1,500 off the on-the-road (OTR) purchase price, and helping more drivers make the switch to zero-emission motoring. This includes both battery options for both vehicles.

Kia’s eligible models combine advanced battery technology, practical design, and the brand’s 7-year/100,000-mile warranty (8-years for the high-voltage battery), ensuring peace of mind for new EV owners.

Paul Philpott, President & CEO of Kia UK, said:

“We are delighted that Kia customers can now benefit from the UK Government’s Electric Car Grant. This milestone demonstrates our commitment to making electric mobility accessible, practical, and affordable. With the support of the grant, even more drivers can experience the innovation, reliability, and sustainability that Kia electric vehicles have become known for. This eligibility comes at an important time, as our nationwide network of PBV Centres become operational, delivering the new award-winning PV5 to customers.”
