Electrel's taking
Why does Kia present EV5 in Canada, with Tella Nacs port, not the US? There may be several reasons. In some cases, it was not done in the US, meaning it would not be worth $ 7,500 tax credit, risking pets.
On the other hand, America likes large suvs and trucks. KIA has already been three-line in EV9, selling more than 22,000 units in 2024. Little EV6, which has ever arrived at the market since 2022, had 21,715 in sales.
EV5 is already a hit in China, where it started. Despite the amount of prices that arouse prices, the KEAV electric SUV has helped the company converting items to the world's largest market.
