The E-pit charging stations can charge 80 percent of EV battery capacity within 18 minutes on a single charge,
The group will initially establish 20 E-pit high-speed charging stations this year.

Meanwhile, Kia will come up with its EV6, likewise built on the E-GMP platform, later this month. The EV6 is the first of Kia's seven pure electric models to be launched by 2026.
