The new Kia EV3, which in Denmark costs from DKK 269,990, gets the so-called CarPay. It is the brand's way of dealing with, for example, paid parking.
With the new Kia EV3 comes the CarPay function, which is really just a payment solution. But that way you don't need to get out of the car to pay for parking, for example
CarPay is available via the Kia Connect app and the car's touchscreen, and the payment is linked to the driver's payment card.
– Bringing a simple and streamlined payment method into the fleet is a game-changer," says Olivier Pascal, General Manager and Head of Connectivity, Kia Connect.
Initially, CarPay is integrated with Parkopedia, a service that helps drivers find and pay for parking.
– It takes less time to find an available space, while avoiding the frustrating process of finding a working parking machine or downloading different phone apps to try to activate and pay for parking, says Hans Puvogel, deputy director at Parkopedia, in a press release .

CarPay is part of Kia's strategy to improve the user experience in the car with new functions.
