By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Kia has announced that its new EV3 electric vehicle will start at under $31,000 in the US, making it the most affordable EV in the company's lineup. The EV3 boasts a range of up to 321 miles and features a NACS port for compatibility with Tesla's Supercharger network. This launch comes at a time when affordable EVs are becoming scarce in the US market, with some manufacturers scaling back or canceling EV plans due to changing financial incentives and regulations.
