Take Advantage of the EV Tax Credit Before It Ends
If you’ve been thinking about switching to an electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV), now is the perfect time to make your move. The federal EV tax credit, which can save you up to $7,500 on new EVs and PHEVs and up to $4,000 on qualifying used EVs, is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2025.
For drivers in Bentonville, Arkansas, and nearby areas like Rogers, Bella Vista, and Cave Springs, this is a limited-time chance to save big on clean, efficient vehicles; including top models from Kia, Chevrolet, Hyundai, and Tesla.
💵 What Is the Federal EV & PHEV Tax Credit?
The federal government offers tax credits to lower the cost of electric vehicles, including fully electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
Here’s how it works:
- New EVs and PHEVs: Up to $7,500 in tax credits if the vehicle meets battery and assembly requirements.
- Used EVs: Up to $4,000 credit if the car meets age, price, and sales conditions.
To qualify, the vehicle must be purchased from a dealership, such as Crain Kia of Bentonville, and delivered by September 30, 2025. After this date, these credits will no longer be available.

What if your car could help power your house? At Crain Kia of Bentonville, the future is already here with Kia’s new Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) technology. This exciting feature, available on the award-winning Kia EV9, turns your electric vehicle into a backup power source for your home. It’s a smart solution for Bentonville families looking to stay prepared and save on energy costs.
What Is V2H Technology?
Vehicle-to-Home allows your Kia EV9 to send power from the car’s battery to your home. Normally, you charge your EV using your house’s electricity. With V2H, the power can go both ways. Your car can charge at night when electricity is cheaper and power your home during the day or during an outage.
Why V2H Is Great for Bentonville Residents
In Northwest Arkansas, we know how storms, wind, and ice can knock out power. V2H technology helps you stay ready and in control.
1. Backup Power During Outages
When the power goes out, your Kia EV9 can keep your fridge, lights, and devices running.
2. Save on Electric Bills
Charge your EV during low-cost, off-peak hours, then use that energy when rates are higher. It’s a smart way to cut your home’s power costs.
3. Use More Clean Energy
If you have solar panels, your EV9 can store extra energy during the day and power your home at night or on cloudy days. You’ll use more clean power and rely less on the grid.
How V2H Works with Your Kia EV9
To use V2H, you’ll need:
- A Kia EV9 or other compatible Kia EV with bidirectional charging
- The Quasar 2 charger, which sends energy both ways
This setup requires professional installation, including a site check and full testing.
Smart Charging for Smart Homes
V2H systems also support smart charging. That means they can:
- Charge your EV when electricity is cheapest
- Power your home during peak hours
- Reduce your carbon footprint
If you have solar panels, heat pumps, or other energy tools, your Kia EV9 can work with them to build a more energy-efficient home setup.
Why Crain Kia of Bentonville?
We’re proud to be your local source for Kia electric vehicles and V2H support. Whether you’re interested in the Kia EV9, need help choosing the right gear, or want professional installation help, we’re here to support you.
Power the Future Right from Your Driveway
The Kia EV9 is more than a great SUV. It’s a clean, modern energy solution for your home. With Vehicle-to-Home charging, you can:
- Stay powered during storms
- Cut your electric bill
- Use more clean energy
Come see us at Crain Kia of Bentonville to learn how V2H can work for your home and your family.
Looking Ahead: V2H and the Future of Energy
As more homes and vehicles become smarter and more connected, Vehicle-to-Home technology is expected to play a big role in how we manage power. With rising interest in renewable energy and the need for reliable backup solutions, V2H helps bridge the gap between clean transportation and smart home energy systems. Whether you’re preparing for emergencies or just want to reduce your carbon footprint, adding V2H to your home can future-proof your lifestyle and your wallet. Investing in this now means you’ll be ready for more advanced features and grid-support programs as they become available.
Drive electric. Stay connected. Power your home with Crain Kia of Bentonville and the Kia EV9.

Kia Over-the-Air Updates Keep You Updated On-The-Go
Keep Your Kia Updated Without the Hassle
At Crain Kia of Bentonville, we’re excited to share how Kia’s Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates make it super easy to keep your car running at its best. Instead of having to visit our Kia dealership for software updates, your Kia vehicle can update itself right from your driveway! Let’s go over how it works and why it’s great for Kia owners in the Northwest Arkansas area.
What Are Over-the-Air Software Updates?
OTA software updates let you improve and add new features remotely and prevent you from having to take it to a technician. These updates help your car’s engine, battery, and safety features stay up-to-date with the latest technology. That means a smoother, safer, and smarter drive!
How Do OTA Updates Work?
Automatic Downloads
Your Kia downloads the newest updates by itself while parked. OTA updates optimize your powertrain, electric motor, battery management system, and ADAS, keeping your Kia running smoothly without the need to visit a dealership. When the download is done, you’ll get a notification on the Kia Access app or your car’s screen. No need to visit a service center—your car does it all!
Easy Installation
When an update is ready, a message will pop up on your screen after you turn off your car. Just follow the instructions that appear on your car’s infotainment. Make sure your car is in Park, the parking brake is on, the lights are off, and the hood is closed. Since you can’t drive during the update, park somewhere safe like your driveway or garage.
Check Progress and Completion
You can see the status of your update on your car’s display screen. When it’s done, you’ll get a notification on your phone and a QR code on your screen. Scan the code to see what’s new! These can include better performance, new features, or improved safety technology.
How to Start Using OTA Updates
- Check If Your Kia Can Get Updates
- Visit Kia’s website and enter your car’s VIN (vehicle identification number) or model to see if it’s eligible for OTA updates.
- Activate Kia Connect
- You need an active Kia Connect subscription to get OTA updates.
- Let Your Kia Handle the Rest
