Kia Canada customers can now earn money by charging their electric vehicles at home through Variablegrid's new program. Drivers can earn up to $392 annually by charging their Kia EV5, which covers 20,000 km annually. Variablegrid's Plus program offers financial incentives without altering charging habits or times. The system helps reduce household electricity costs by managing charging based on available capacity. Kia Canada is the first automaker to partner with Variablegrid for this direct financial incentive.

Why it matters for your car

This initiative makes electric vehicle ownership more affordable and encourages wider adoption.

For plug-in hybrids, AutoScan for Windows can read standard engine and emissions fault codes through a compatible ELM327 adapter; charging-system and high-voltage faults require vehicle-specific equipment.
