It's definitely no secret that Amazon desires in a
major way to be the one-and-only destination people go to worldwide to get
their online shopping done, and they are now expanding a bit further into the
car world with their latest partnership. All of us here at Jim Butler are very
proud to announce that Kia is teaming up with Amazon to make Level 2 chargers
available for your home! To purchase the chargers up front on offer, you just
need to lease or own an electric Kia or have one securely on order.
Included are the Niro EV, Soul EV, Niro PHEV, and
Optima PHEV, and is a bold-and-boisterous attempt at making, buying, and
installing these kinds of chargers less difficult. Many consumers out there
already know and understand the navigation and process of Amazon well, so
buying everything you may need to get your new electric car charger up and
running from them could provide a smooth process that entices many to get on
board.
Amazon really is planning to handle the
transaction thoroughly here, by calling out an electrician to inspect your
house to see if any changes need to be made to properly support it, then take
on the task of fully installing the charger. Bosh, ChargePoint, and JuiceBox
are the three brands stepping up to the plate for the summer to provide level 2
car chargers. The 2020 Soul EV and the 2019 Niro EV both get to a full charge
in a little more than nine hours on a Level 2 plug, versus a nearly 60-hour
wait from a Level 1 charger. Juice at the fastest rate is what benefits
electric car owners during the night's rest, and the convenience of portals
such as Amazon will no doubt provide a strong interest in the time-saving
service.
This other great feature from Autoblog
covers the unveiling of the Niro hybrid at the Geneva Motor show, as
well as many new options such as 18-inch wheels. New projector headlights adopt
what is now known as the “ice cube” design above a brand-new bumper, and paddle
shifters for the six-speed double-clutch have been grafted onto the steering
wheel. You get to enjoy the 8-inch screen for infotainment options, with an
upgraded spec providing a 10.25-inch TFT infotainment window, with the
capability to run Uvo Connect. We are excited for this powerful partnership to
provide offerings to many who are eager to capture the quickest available
charge for the EV and take any unnecessary worry out of the ordering process.
