It will take a lot more to reach carbon neutrality than abandoning gasoline and diesel engines as Kia is taking additional steps to avoid harming our already extremely fragile environment.<\/p>\n<p>Case in point, all of the company\u2019s factories outside of its domestic market will begin to use only renewable energy by the end of the decade. The same thing will happen at home in South Korea, but only by 2040. One of Kia\u2019s assembly plants, the facility in Slovakia, is already ahead of the curve by utilizing only green energy. Meanwhile, 2030 will be the year when the entire Kia vehicle fleet will have only zero-emissions cars.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12034\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12034\" style=\"width: 2550px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12034\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Kia-Concept-EV9-teaser-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2550\" height=\"1502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Kia-Concept-EV9-teaser-1.jpg 2550w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Kia-Concept-EV9-teaser-1-1536x905.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Kia-Concept-EV9-teaser-1-2048x1206.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2550px) 100vw, 2550px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12034\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kia Concept EV9 teaser<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The announcement was made today on the occasion of sharing teaser images of the <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/11\/11\/kia-concept-ev9-new-teaser-images\/\">Concept EV9<\/a>, which Kia says illustrates the efforts it will take to reach carbon neutrality by 2045 at the latest.
