Why More Perth Drivers Are Going Electric — And Why Osborne Park Kia Has the EV for You

June 30, 2025 11:56 am

Let’s be real: the world’s changing. Fuel prices are unpredictable, the push for sustainability is growing, and tech in cars has come a long way. If you’ve been thinking about going electric, you’re not alone — and right here in Osborne Park, we’re seeing more people making the switch every week.

So, is it time to ditch petrol for good? Here’s why EVs are taking off in Perth, and how Kia is leading the charge.

⚡ The Rise of EVs in Perth

EV ownership in WA is on the rise — and it’s not just about saving the planet. It’s about saving time, money, and making the smart move for your lifestyle.

  • Charging infrastructure is booming: With new fast-charging stations popping up all over Perth and regional WA, range anxiety is quickly becoming a thing of the past.
  • Government incentives: WA drivers can access rebates and stamp duty exemptions for eligible EVs — check what you’re entitled to.
  • Low running costs: Charging your car at home? You’ll likely slash your weekly fuel bill. Servicing costs are generally lower too, since EVs have fewer moving parts.

🚗 Meet Kia’s EV Lineup

At Osborne Park Kia, we’re not just jumping on the bandwagon — we’re leading it. Kia’s EV range isn’t just environmentally conscious — it’s sleek, powerful, and surprisingly fun to drive.

🔋 Kia EV6

This award-winning, fully electric crossover turns heads for all the right reasons. With up to 528km of range, ultra-fast charging, and sports-car acceleration (the GT goes 0–100km/h in just 3.5 seconds), the EV6 proves you don’t have to compromise to go green.

🌿 Kia Niro EV

Compact, practical, and tech-packed — the Niro is perfect for daily Perth driving or longer weekend escapes. With up to 460km of range, it’s a solid all-rounder if you’re dipping your toes into EV ownership for the first time.

⚙️ Kia Hybrid & Plug-in Hybrid Options

Not quite ready to go full electric? The Niro Hybrid and Sorento Hybrid/Plug-in Hybrid offer a great transition — using less fuel, lowering emissions, and giving you peace of mind for longer trips.

💡 Real Talk: Is It Time to Make the Switch?

Ask yourself:

  • Are you spending more than $100 a week on fuel?
  • Do you mostly drive in and around Perth?
  • Do you want a car that’s lower maintenance, quieter, and packed with tech?

If you answered yes to any of those, a Kia EV might just be your next smart move.
