Nottingham Drivers ‘In The Fast Lane’ With Official EV2 Launch



Nottinghamshire drivers are now in pole position for electric driving after the all new Kia EV2 arrived at NK Motors in Chilwell for the first time.


The highly anticipated EV2 made its local debut during a successful three-day First Drive Weekend from Thursday, May 21 to Saturday, May 23, with customers invited to get behind the wheel and experience Kia’s newest electric vehicle up close through exclusive walkarounds and personal test drives.


As Kia’s most compact electric SUV to date, the EV2 has already generated major excitement thanks to its bold design, urban practicality and impressive technology.


Designed specifically for modern city lifestyles, the EV2 combines compact dimensions with a surprisingly spacious cabin, flexible interior layout and up to 362 litres of boot space.


Drivers visiting the launch were also introduced to the EV2’s advanced technology package, including Kia’s latest infotainment system, wireless smartphone charging, adaptive cruise control and advanced driver assistance systems. Premium models also feature Harman Kardon audio, flush door handles and Kia’s signature Star Map lighting design.


The EV2 offers up to 281 miles of electric range depending on specification, while rapid charging capability allows the battery to charge from 10 to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes, making it ideal for both everyday commuting and longer journeys.


Customers can also benefit from a £1,500 Electric Car Grant, helping make the switch to electric driving even more accessible.


Managing director at NK Motors, Sanj Kumar said:


“The EV2 has really accelerated interest in electric driving across Nottinghamshire. Customers are looking for an EV that feels stylish, practical and achievable, and the EV2 delivers on every level.”


He added:

“There was a fantastic atmosphere throughout the launch weekend, and the response has been incredibly positive. Once customers experienced the space, technology and performance for themselves, it was clear the EV2 is going to be a real game changer in the compact EV market.”

The first edition EV2 is available now at NK Motors Chilwell, with additional models expected later this year. For more information, please visit here.
