We are entering an era of new technology in the automotive industry and at the center of it all is Kia. Kia Motors has recently undergone a transition to a new focus and a new name––today, they simply go by Kia. With the new name change came new plans for the company's future, a new focus on the creation of electric vehicles. Luckily, the Kia EV revolution was already underway, so you can find great EVs on our showroom floor.

Here at Parkway Family Kia, we are excited for the future of transportation. As Houston area buyers demand more choices in the EV sector, Kia will match that demand with dynamic vehicles at affordable price points. Parkway Family Kia will be here as your resource for information, tips, and all maintenance and service needs throughout your EV ownership experience.

As more and more consumers embrace the idea of owning an electric vehicle, it’s natural to have questions. What maintenance is required? How does home charging work? What is my driving range? We are equipped with the know-how to walk you through all aspects of EV ownership, so you feel comfortable and excited about embracing zero-emissions EV life.

There’s so much to discover if you’re seeking an alternative-powered new vehicle. It’s such an exciting time to be shopping, especially if you visit our showroom here in Kingwood, TX. Our team is happy to discuss EVs with you, so come on in and learn more about this burgeoning category that is winning not only environmentally-conscious buyers but folks who want the best possible vehicle at the most aggressive price.


Kia Is Making Bold Moves in the EV Sector

Kia recently announced its bold long-term EV manufacturing strategy––referred to as Plan S––and it includes bringing several new EV options to consumers by 2027. The effort kicked off with Kia’s highly-anticipated Niro EV crossover and continues with additional launches over the next several model years.

Kia anticipates growing sales of its EV models to 25 percent of the overall business. That’s a bold goal and one that Kia can easily achieve. As the eighth-largest automaker on the planet, Kia has the factory space and R&D capability to shift its business to EV.

Most importantly, Kia understands that in order to embrace an EV lifestyle, customers need extended driving ranges, combustion motor-equivalent performance, and access to a wide network of fast-charging stations. That’s why they’ve put an emphasis on building factories that produce high-quality batteries and providing dealers, like Parkway Family Kia, with everything they’ll need to support EV service and maintenance.

Why all the investment in EVs? Kia has always pushed the envelope on innovation, staying years ahead of the competition. Known for building cars, SUVs, and vans that deliver on affordability and reliability, Kia is also laser-focused on advancing driverless technology and alternative fuel options and has been quietly preparing for an all-electric future for years.

Why People Are Choosing EVs More Than Ever

Consumers are embracing electric vehicles more than ever, thanks to manufacturers delivering options that solve the three biggest barriers: price, driving range, and performance. Not only are today’s EVs comparable to their gas-powered predecessors, in some cases, but they also exceed them in the areas that count most.

The EV market is still emerging, which means several new launches are eligible for hefty Federal tax incentives, but price isn’t the only reason EVs are landing on buyers’ consideration lists: styling and performance are also entering the conversation. Automakers are allocating resources to EV design and development to entice reticent buyers to give them a try.

Kia revealed the 2022 EV6 crossover, and it will be powerful, technologically advanced, and a great option for all drivers. In the looks department, the EV6 is representative of many newer EV concepts in that it offers a futuristic, angular exterior with modern finishes, like LED headlights and taillights.

All this innovation and design creativity is part of why more consumers than ever before are thinking about switching to an EV. According to the researchers at consulting giant Deloitte, global alternative fuel vehicle sales hit over two million units in 2019, 74% of which were EVs. By 2030, Deloitte predicts that EVs will achieve a 32 percent global market share.

What does all of this tell us? EVs are here to stay, and it’s likely that automakers like Kia will continue investing heavily in this category. The goal is to reduce emissions, sure, but it’s also to deliver vehicles that incorporate the most exciting technological advancements in areas customers care deeply about, including safety and value, a task at which Kia excels.
