Kia also confirmed its intention to offer all-electric lineups at various price points to fit different customer needs. The company aims to add Hybrid EV and PBV models to cater to the diverse needs of customers while contributing to the transition to cleaner transportation for everyone around the world.
On the expansion front, Kia is undertaking an aggressive expansion strategy, with as many as six global EV production facilities set to be established by 2025, which would stabilize the production system and battery supply for its growing lineup of electric vehicles.
In terms of pricing and launch dates, Kia will launch the EV3 in several countries in the Asia Pacific by 2025, but it has yet to announce pricing for the EV4 and PV5, and this is something that will be finalized ahead of their launches.
