Some say that the demand for electric cars has slowed, but Kia continues to break records with EV sales in the United States and abroad, with its second-best first-half sales ever. Tesla isn’t the only name in EV sales anymore, and with US sanctions on Chinese electric vehicles, Kia’s electric future looks promising.
Kia’s US Electric Vehicle Market Triumph
Kia has made EVs affordable for the average American consumer, beating out Tesla who reigned supreme for a long time. The EV3 is expected to launch at a base of $30,000. Not only is this price competitive with some of the electric vehicles currently on the market, but also against many combustion engine vehicles currently on the road.
With the removal of Chinese competition due to US sanctions, Kia is primed to dominate the American EV field. In just the first half of 2024, Kia America records historic sales. With 5,000 all-electric vehicles sold for the third consecutive month and 29,392 EVs in the year’s first half, the company’s electric line has grown by 112%.
Kia’s Electrified Vehicle Highlights
Which vehicles can Kia attribute to its success? The Kia Carnival has made the biggest impression, with an 18% increase in sales and the Kia Sportage is right behind at 11%. Kia also has several upcoming vehicles that have fans excited. While not confirmed, the recently announced 2025 Kia Seltos could have an electrified option due to Kia’s commitment to sell 1.6 million EVs by 2030 and to introduce 15 new electric models.
Furthermore, the highly anticipated Kia EV3 garnered over 10,000 reservations within the first 23 days of opening orders. Boasting an estimated range of 347 miles, the EV3 is poised to rank among the longest-range electric vehicles available in the US market. Its expected price of $35,000 will also make it highly affordable, further strengthening Kia’s market position.
