Kia EV2 versions and prices

Guide prices checked October 2026 and may already include the Electric Car Grant. Real-world range is EV Database's typical estimate; the official WLTP figure is higher. Always confirm the price with the seller.

Charging

The Kia EV2 can rapid charge at up to 115 kW. That peak only lasts part of a session: averaged from 10% to 80%, it is about 85 kW, about 30 minutes on a fast enough charger.

At home it accepts up to 11 kW on AC. On a typical 7 kW wallbox, a full charge from empty takes roughly 9 hours; most top-ups take far less. Its CCS plug is on the right side, front. See charging times, smart EV tariffs and chargers near me.

Real-world range

For the Kia EV2 61 kWh Long Range, EV Database estimates these ranges. Cold means about −10°C with the heating on; mild means about 23°C; motorway means a steady 70 mph.

Heat pump: optional. One-stop motorway range with a 15-minute charge: about 238 miles. Try the range reality check or the range map for your own driving.

Running costs

At 10,000 miles a year, charging 80% at home on a smart tariff at 7.6p per kWh and 20% on rapid chargers at 79p, the Kia EV2 61 kWh Long Range would use about 2,895 kWh and cost about £633 a year to charge (6.3p a mile). Vehicle tax: £10 in the first year, then £200 a year. From April 2028 the pay-per-mile charge (eVED) is due to add 3p a mile, about £300 a year at 10,000 miles.
