Owners of Kia Motors Corp.’s plug-in hybrid and pure-electric vehicles now can buy a 240-volt home charging system for the cars on Amazon.com.
The entire process can be completed before taking delivery of an electrified Kia vehicle, the carmaker says. Kia currently offers four plug-in models: electric and hybrid versions of the Niro crossover, the battery-powered Soul EV (above) and a plug-in hybrid variant of the Optima sedan.
Audi announced a similar deal with Amazon last September. Audi’s plan covers the purchase and installation of a Level 2 charger for the e-Tron crossover.
