After 300,000 miles of airport transfers across the UK, our 2019 Kia Niro First Edition 64kWh is still going strong! 💪⚡
This long-distance electric warrior is still running on the original brake pads, discs, motors and battery — and it’s still delivering the same range as new.
🚘 Used for: Constant airport transfer work up and down the country
⚡ Charging:
70% Home charging at 7p/kWh (£4,200)
30% Rapid charging via Tesla & IONITY accounts at 40p/kWh (£9,000)
