THE KIA PV5 IS A GAME CHANGER! OUR FIRST LOOK AT KIA'S CHEAP MODULAR PV5 VAN

EV Channels Review

The Kia PV5 is presented as a highly versatile and modular electric van, with the reviewers expressing significant enthusiasm for its potential, despite its unavailability in the US market. Key highlights include its flexible platform, which can be configured for passenger transport, cargo, or crucially, as a wheelchair-accessible vehicle with a built-in ramp – a feature praised for its integration and potential to solve challenges faced by conversion companies. The van boasts a 71.2 kWh battery offering an estimated 412 km (WLTP) of range, which the reviewers believe would translate to around 300 miles EPA. While the interior is described as utilitarian rather than premium, its functionality, spaciousness, and the Android Automotive system are noted as positives. The reviewers lament its absence in the US, suggesting it would be ideal for fleet services, airport shuttles, and tradespeople.
