The Uncapital Route:
An electrifying adventure in Rotterdam.

Join Kia and Vice on the Uncapital Route: the electrifying journey that explores Europe’s creative hubs beyond the capitals. The adventure comes to an end as we reach our last stop: Rotterdam.

Our host Jess Oberlin arrives to the city in the EV9 and discovers a thriving gastronomical scene surrounded by some of the world’s most famous modern architecture

Jess meets local mixologist Daryl Lieuw-On at his welcoming bar “Rumah”. Daryl is an award-winning bartender that believes the secret ingredient for his success is talking to the people that go to his bar and make them feel at home.

To him, making drinks is just a small part of the job. He believes that the beauty of Rotterdam is that the community is stronger together, despite the differences that set them apart.

“What keeps me interested is the creativity that allows us to keep developing. And the people.”

Jess and Daryl move through Rotterdam’s glossy streets and reach their destination: Toko, a Surinamese Market. In their journey to find ingredients for an experimental mocktail, they have a taste of a unique recipe of our own: the Kia EV9.

Recipe for success

After trying some of Rotterdam’s flourishing gastronomy over lunch, Jess and Daryl have a mocktail tasting. They discuss the need to pick up the mobile bar and Jess suggests using the EV9’s towing hook to carry the bar to the event.

An ingredient changes everything.

Once Jess and Daryl arrive at the event location, they arrange the mobile bar to make it ready for everyone. However, there is a small ingredient missing for the perfect set-up: lights.

But Jess has the ultimate solution; using the V2L socket to power some lights at the venue. Now, they’re ready to create some mocktails for the guests that start arriving.

A unique mix of our own.
