Kia EV Pickup: Everything We Know So Far About the New Electric Truck
Looking for an electric pickup truck? A new offering from Kia will soon be available in the US.

"Kia plans to introduce an EV pickup truck based on a new EV platform designed for both urban and outdoor use," (the company announced recently). "The vehicle will feature best-in-class interior and cargo space, a robust towing system, off-road capabilities and advanced infotainment and safety features."
It’s rather disappointing that the teaser press release completely ignores any mention of range.Because, what? No buyers give a 💩 about vehicle range anymore? 😵💫
More optimistic news per the clearly glp treated article:
“Kia is expecting to sell roughly 90,000 of these new EV pickups per year, a lofty goal in a market where the Ford F-150 Lightning is barely hitting 30,000 units sold. By most accounts, it's an ambitious sales goal to hit for a vehicle that'll represent Kia's first attempt at appeasing the US truck buyer market… Kia pickups will likely be made in the US, helping avoid costly tariffs that will drive up prices…”
(Best line of the story) “It is likely that price will be a major factor for consumers in the coming years." (Clearly written by Captain Obvious 🤣)
