The Kia PBV range, which stands for Purpose Built Vehicle, is something genuinely new in the electric van market. Rather than converting an existing van to run on a battery, Kia has started from scratch. The result is a range of fully electric, modular vehicles designed from the ground up around the needs of modern businesses and families alike.
At Peter Cooper Motor Group, we're proud to be an authorised Kia PBV dealer. If you're considering electric vans and want to speak to a team that knows the range properly, you're in the right place.
One of the things that sets the Kia PBV range apart is its flexibility. The PV5, the first model in the range, is available in several different configurations including a Cargo van, a Passenger vehicle, and a Crew van. Whether you're running last-mile deliveries, transporting a team, or need a base for a custom body, there's a version that fits without compromise. The Passenger PV5 also fits within this range, providing a modular system that grows with your family or lifestyle needs
Looking ahead, the range will grow. The larger PV7 is on its way for businesses that need more space, and the PV9 will follow for high-capacity operations. Kia has built this range with the intention of scaling it, so it's worth thinking about the Kia PBV not just as a single van purchase but as a long-term platform for your business or personal requirements.
The shift to electric vans isn't just about being green, though that matters too. For most people, the more immediate appeal is the running costs. Electric vehicles are considerably cheaper to run per mile than petrol or diesel, and with road tax, clean air zone charges, and servicing costs all factoring in, the savings add up quickly for higher-mileage vehicles.
The Kia PBV range is fully electric across every model, so there's no hybrid compromise to manage. Kia has engineered these vehicles for commercial use, which means they're built to handle the kind of daily mileage and loading that a working van needs to cope with, or the miles racked up on your adventures.
Every Kia PBV comes with Kia's 7-year warranty as standard, giving you a solid layer of protection whether you're buying a single van or building out a business fleet. Beyond the warranty, our aftersales team at Peter Cooper is on hand for servicing, repairs, and any support you need to keep your vehicles on the road.
We've been looking after our customers since 1981 and the same approach applies here. Straightforward advice, no pressure, and a team that's genuinely interested in finding the right solution for you.
