Kia EV3

2027 Kia EV3, Light FWD Kia's smallest SUV is now its cheapest EV in the US at $31,385 including destination. The base Light trim has a 58.3 kWh battery and an EPA-estimated 221 miles, enough for most commutes but short of the Bolt and the Leaf, so it suits city drivers more than long-haul ones. Charging is a strength: Kia quotes 10 to 80 percent in 29 minutes, and a NACS port comes from the factory. If you need more range, the larger 81.4 kWh battery reaches up to 321 miles, starting with the Wind trim at about $5,000 more.
