Kia America decided to work with Currently app, an on-demand charging service in the United States developed by SparkCharge.
Thanks to the new partnership, Kia EV drivers can now take advantage of SparkCharge's advanced Roadie Charging System, a portable fast DC electric vehicle charger offered by the mobile charging network.
"The relationship with our customers does not end after delivery. In fact, that is just the beginning," said Greg Silvestri, the current Kia Vice President of Service Operations.

The collaboration is expected to offer complimentary EV charging that connects to Kia America's larger Plan S business strategy.
Greg added that the automaker believes that a better EV charging experience will also lead to easier EV ownership.
The new partnership of the two companies is now rolling out the EV charging perks in the three major cities of California.
After that, the on-demand EV charging service is expected to expand to other metropolitan areas. What makes the new collaboration more interesting is that it will allow consumers to use the electric car charging service for free within two months.
Other Partnerships of Kia
Aside from its latest collaboration with the Currently app, The News Market reported that Kia America also partnered with Electrify America, one of the largest EV charging networks across the globe.
This partnership offers 1,000 kWh to all EV6 owners for free. Just like with the Currently app partnership, its collaboration with Electrify America is also one of its major efforts as its transition to full EV making.
