Car maker says green energy will be purchased in megawatt-hours through ‘guarantee of origin’ certificates

Kia has partnered with German green energy firm Digital Charging Solutions to counteract the energy used by its electric vehicle charging service. 

The Korean car maker, which has its own charging network in collaboration with Ionity, will determine the electricity used at 300,000 charging points on the continent and ‘flood the grid’ with the equivalent amount of green energy. 

Kia says the energy will be purchased in megawatt-hours (MWhs) through guarantee of origin (GO) certificates.
