No one is “crapping themselves” until it, like all the other promised cheap EV’s, actually makes it to the market in US.

HOW DARE YOU!!! This guy is an expert in crapping himself!!!

Let me guess, we'll never get it for this price and probably not at all in North America

Many consumers are tired of the low price, high quality claims regarding these foreign EV promises. After dealers stock them I honestly expect they'll be offered in 2026 for $32+K if history is indicative.

when??? Not anything on Kia's website about EV2.

Most older people like me need 200_250 miles range. Our current ICE cars will serve for infrequent longer trips until the nursing home takes away our keys. A very important feature that would be worth paying extra for is vehicle to load. As we move to solar power at home, a 50KWH portable battery is a very attractive feature. Just imagine how useful it would be with an off grid inverter at your weekend getaway. I have about $15,000 invested in my DIY server rack 50KWH at my home. With an extra 50KWH and a few more panels,I could kiss the grid goodbye. As it is now,we use very little grid power.It’s cheap enough to maintain the grid connection that I would not likely disconnect,but more options make for greater reliability.

I'm waiting for Aptera but if this is real they would have a shot. We all sleep so for a commuter car depending on cost fast charging could be a waste of money and degrade the batterie block faster. Afordability is a top requirment.

If this is true Aptera now has a serious competitor.

This is The car. Ice cars are dead

Went to a Kia dealership today. They've never heard of anything other than the EV9 and EV6. This isn't coming to the States.

Never heard of? Even though it launched in other countries? Your dealer clearly had no idea what's out there. That's why I don't trust anything any dealer says or sells.

Click bait. Talking about some future car sold somewhere…..

I don’t think sodium-based battery is the reason for increase range. quite the opposite is true; range is less than lithium-basedbut the making of it is cheaper since it doesn’t rely on costly mining of rare earth materials. so the impact of this new chemistry is on more affordable EVs.

I don’t think we are getting these in the us any time soon. We get the EV 7 which seems to be a great car but is much too big and expensive for me. But you can but one right now.

I'm still waiting for KIA to announce an EV1 as an electric equivalent to the Picanto.

I want a Jeep Avenger, only sold in Europe. This is crazy because the Avenger could compete with the KIA EV2 cost wise if Stellantis is smart.

They forgot to mention that EV's are better for the environment, combatting climate change. Even if you voted in a wrong government that insists on burning more coal . I love Kia/Hyundai. Got one and it's the best car I ever had. And I had a Mercedes before this one.

Raw material costs do not support a 400 mile range EV car for $24K right now or in the next two years. A 150 mile $24K EV is more realistic for 2024 but other than that this is just clickbait.

Actually crapping themselves, o my. Has a butler in the car, wow. This car is amazeballs.

So, which one of the cars where the EV2 ?

+10,000$ dealership /stealership mark up price 😂

If this is for real and if Kia is not using new battery technology and eliminates Lithium ion then it is moot anyway.

Please check the date shown @ 8:14. It is definitely not 2004. Maybe you mean 2024?

Until Hyundai/Kia Group get their dealers under control, they'll continue to suffer the same price-gauging attrocities that Ford and GM do, which just drives customers further into Tesla's arms. I own a 2017 Kia Soul EV compliance car. Despite some battery recall issues, limited range, and being saddled with the obsolete CHAdeMO high speed charging system, I'm rather fond of it. For the local commuter car that it is, it has been wonderful and has certainly saved me a lot on running costs. Kia has great ergonomics. So I WANT to see their new generation of evs succeed. But details matter, including cost, most especially. Until we actually see the Tesla "model 2" and the production Kia ev2 in the flesh and get some reviews with specs, it is impossible to compare vehicles. We should not forget China. They are scheming for a way into the U.S. market and may have found it by way of partnership with Mexico. We will have to see how much they inflate their prices when they get here, but if they keep it under a 50% increase over their China market prices, they still could put real pressure on their competitors to match their prices.

Kia promises so many features, but from what I understand, none of these mood lighting, scents, or AI, even exist yet in any of their vehicles. It's like nobody at the dealership watched the launch.

Isn't it EV3 shown??

😂OPPS!!! I CRAPPED MY PANTS!!!

Kia use CATL battery with 50% off, that is how KIA able to do it. While FORD and GM they only good at marking gasoline pick-up

Ford and GM are crapping their pants, because Kia’s and Hyundai’s are surpassing them in recalls.

Yes, the style is yes, over Tesla and 400 miles.

Let's jump first ,a lot of promises like every other brand

Yeah,but a replacement battery pack will cost $50,000.

First build a battery then build a car

Looks like the Kona but electric. I have to see it to believe it.

It is unfortunate that they sis not build it in Mexico.

an it comes with a free tesla sat phone too!!

The evs are expensive cause the batteries, so a cheap ev would mean less milage which nobody would get cause you want to be charging them twice a day...

That’s about £45.000 in 🇬🇧🤣

If battery prices are now $50/kWh, And: 'The battery is the most expensive part of an EV' Then expensive EVs are a BS scam.

Lost me when you said Tesla is nipping at Kia’s heels. Tesla still has a lot of work to do, but they’re way ahead of Legacy auto. And I like KIA, but seriously this article is clickbait.

Hahahaha Cost 24G and 50G to replace battery that will go bad forsure!! YIKES

That is total BS. The current LFP batteries that most manufacturers use will last much longer than most cars will ever drive. We are talking 500,000+ miles. And they are getting much cheaper to produce and repair too. Older EVs with NMC chemistry are more likely to need a new battery at some point and it's true that Tesla and others are charging obscure prices for that. However, you can have individual cells replaced by independent garages for a fraction of the price. I plan on such a repair for my Tesla Model S when the time comes (it's a 2014 with nearly 250,000 miles on it btw.).

If it really happens, then Kia dealers will do what they've done with other popular models: tack on a $10k dealer markup. RIPOFF

Its not here at all. And before EV's become affordable and safe there is a need for better cheaper batteries. Also batteries are still too dangerous to even consider them.

No, it's not here. It will start at $35K and 447 miles range.

2004 lol

Dude nobody is shocked and Ford and GM are not worried about Kia man you should stop the cap

Kia is moving fast due to Chinas march into Mexico. They want to remain relevant going forward as prices begin to fall many existing car companies will not be around or recognizable ten years from now.

Lego?

This is bullshit. What do you mean a range boost due to sodium ion batteries? You stated sodium ion batteries will enable it to go from NYC to Washington DC and back without charge... That is fundamentally false, sodium ion battery power density is lower than LiFePO batteries which are also lower power density than Li-ion batteries. Manufacturers don't pick to invest in sodium ion for range, they invest for price. Sodium ion batteries have the potential to cost substantially less than lithium variant batteries.

Sodium ion batteries have improved 2 fold in the past 3 years. Still this video is garbage. No facts.

@markbennett6658

True although battery tech is rapidly developing and small EVs with big range and a high energy density aren’t that far away. The upside for sodium ion batteries as well as cost is the abundance of sodium which can be extracted from sea water and doesn’t involve mining. A sodium ion EV has already been launched in China and although not good currently for longer range vehicles should be sufficient for city cars.

GM owns Hyundai and KIA!

I would not buy an EV. With all of the issues. EVs catching on fire,to repairing body work, few charging stations. Little infrastructure for EVs, charging stations not working or full, EVs are sinner city driving use. $24,000 is better but its still $24,000. If it was around $10,000 as a third car, I can see. The battery technology is just not there yet. Maybe in another 10 years we will see.

motivational....make the car affordable anti-inflationary not capitalism friendly where increase PRICES are necessary. So sad...

Basically this video is full of nonsense.

Literally crapping themselves? What a stupid thing to say. Nice car. Dumb video.

lol ….no EV will be a common man’s car…it is still an EV. A 450 mile charge is not guaranteed especially in subzero degree weather. This videos bias is hard to take. How long does it take to charge! No charge needed to cross the country?…bull..such a lie. It still does not save the environment. What is the environmental impact on making its components?

Clickbait crap should be banned from KZread

What a bunch of ??????? This channel should be ashamed to put out garbage like this. I know tell us what you really think. Voltmotion get with the real program.

Last chance in us market before Chinese car invasion you can get the new Elantra at 11000-12000 in Chinese market right now still no one buy them Korean gonna quit Chinese market soon
