New Car Awards 2023: the winners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nPaul Philpott, President and CEO of Kia UK said: "The EV9 was already one of the most anticipated cars of 2023, and our UK dealer partners have received more interest in this car ahead of launch than almost any other Kia vehicle to date.<\/p>\n
Our new flagship EV takes Kia into a new segment, and puts us up against some very keen competition. But our established reputation as an electrification leader makes this an entirely natural \u2013 and hotly awaited \u2013 next step for the brand, and we're delighted to see the car recognised already by DrivingElectric for what it offers customers."<\/p>\n
Other models acknowledged in the 2024 DrivingElectric Awards included the BYD Dolphin, named Best Value Electric Car, and the Tesla Model 3 which took the title of Best Family Electric Car. The Mercedes eCitan, Nissan Townstar and Renault Kangoo E-Tech trio shared DrivingElectric\u2019s Best Electric Van award.<\/p>\n
Using the latest Driver Power data, Auto Express sister site DrivingElectric.com also handed out awards for home and public charging. Easee took the prize for Best Home Charger, while Tesla was voted Best Charging Network for its ease of access and reliability. Tesla wasn\u2019t previously eligible for this award, but took the win after opening up part of its network to all electric-car drivers \u2013 regardless of make or model.<\/p>\n
