No way. But when it comes to range and charging, Tesla’s still king. Kia is always going to be playing catch up until they can match that Supercharger network.

It's not just about how far you can go, it's about how fast you can charge, and how readily available charging is. If Kia can get fast charging right and work with the right networks, they could really threaten Tesla.

It's not a fair comparison. Tesla has been in the EV game way longer. Kia has a few years to go but I bet they will close the gap significantly.

Does a few miles of range matter when the EV5 looks so much cooler? I would rather to arrive in style with 20 miles less of range.
Will the Kia EV5’s lower price point disrupt the electric SUV market?

I'm skeptical. It's got to be a catch somewhere. Or maybe it'll have less range, or cheaper materials. Isn't that what you get for what you pay for?

It's a smart move by Kia. Just like they did with gas cars, they’re putting themselves as the value option in EVs. Why not now? It worked before.

The EV5's tech is really something Kia's stepped up from the last few years. It's nice to see they're not just copying Tesla's giant iPad approach and that rotating display is pretty cool.
