Electrify America Offers Kia Select Plan To Reconcile Kia Pricing Issue

The deal with Kia will lower the cost for charging, but only temporarily.

Electrify America, together with Kia Motors America, has announced the “Kia Select” plan, created to address billing problems that Kia Niro EV owners experience while using the Electrify America network. The plan is identical to the Hyundai Select plan that was introduced last month.

For those not familiar with this issue, let us explain. Electrify America’s pricing structure has three pricing tiers, and customers pay based on the maximum charging rate the vehicle is capable of accepting. We highlighted the word capable because the car doesn’t actually need to accept that level of power during the charging session, it just needs to be capable of charging at that level in order to be placed in the higher tier pricing.
