0:00.0 | Welcome back to EV News Daily and welcome to a special bonus edition of the podcast. |
0:05.6 | The Kia EV-V-3 is the latest global model from the brand, which alongside Stablemates Hyundai Agenesis, |
0:11.9 | are committed to making very compelling electric vehicles. |
0:15.6 | Well, many times in recent weeks, I've alluded to the fact that I think the Kia Reby 3 is going to be a massive |
0:22.7 | success and potentially the standout sales success of 2025, or at least outside of China, |
0:30.0 | because what happens inside China can just defy all sorts of the usual sales rules. |
0:36.3 | So I figured I should make a stand-alone podcast making my case, |
0:40.6 | my argument, for why the Kia EV3 could be a success, my best arguments. I'll compare it to the |
0:47.2 | competition as well and which vehicles it's up against and some of the choices you might want to |
0:52.3 | cross shop and make. So welcome along to the podcast. Here is a look at the some of the choices you might want to cross shop and make. So, welcome along to the |
0:55.6 | podcast. Here is a look at the history of the Kia EV3 and the basic specs of the vehicle. So we |

1:07.7 | the EV4 and the EV5. The EV3 is built on a 400-volt version of Kia's |
1:14.7 | electric, global, modular platform. That's EGMP. It uses their fourth-generation battery |
1:21.5 | technology. And there are two variants introduced. A standard range battery and a long-range battery. |
1:28.3 | The small battery, |
1:36.1 | if you want to call it small, is not particularly small. It's 55 kilowatt hours usable and 58.3 nominal kilowatt hours. And so there's like a three kilowatt hour buffer there. The long range |
1:42.9 | version has a slightly bigger buffer. It's 78 kilowatt |
1:47.0 | hours usable and 81.4 kilowatt hours gross. So here we are with a vehicle that we already know |
1:55.3 | is going to be targeting, well, typically families, I would say, and we'll get onto the cars that it |
1:59.9 | competes against in the minute. |
2:01.0 | But even if you start with saying, well, the Kia EV3 is going to compete with the Kia Nero EV. |
