James Bell, Head of Corporate Communications and Public Relations at Kia America is BACK on the show today to talk about how Kia is positioning itself as a strong contender in the electric vehicle market, offering competitive and affordable EVs like the EV6 and EV9 that have won multiple prestigious awards. Kia is focusing on making electric vehicles accessible to a wider audience through upcoming models like the EV3 and EV4, emphasizing value, reliability, and an attractive design that makes drivers proud of their vehicle. James also highlights the importance of intuitive design, ease of use, and creating an emotional connection with the vehicle that goes beyond just functional transportation. The conversation also explores the IONNA charging network, which aims to transform the charging experience by creating welcoming, safe, and convenient "rechargeries" across the United States. Kia's strategy centers on making electric vehicles more appealing and practical for everyday consumers, challenging the notion that EVs are only for luxury buyers or tech enthusiasts. Now *that's* something to get excited about!
