This model is available in two types of battery packs, namely the standard 58 kilowatt hour (kWh) battery pack and the 77.4 kWh long-range battery. The 58 kWh and 77.4 kWh models can travel up to 370 kilometers and 475 km, respectively, on a single charge.

Kia also plans to introduce sedans, SUVs and multipurpose vehicles based on a new electric vehicle platform over the next seven years.

They plan to add to the lineup of electric vehicles with 11 models, including seven based on the E-GMP, by 2025.

With a strengthened lineup of electric vehicles, Kia aims to reach a 6.6 percent market share of global battery-powered electric vehicles by 2025 and global annual sales of 500,000 units by 2026.

Kia's electric vehicle market share is currently unavailable as their electric vehicle sales accounted for only 1 percent of overall sales in 2019.

In April, Kia's larger affiliate Hyundai Motor Co. unveiled an all-electric Ioniq 5 model equipped with the E-GMP platform.

Hyundai plans to introduce the Ioniq 6 next year and the ioniq 7 large SUV in 2024. Hyundai will begin using alphanumeric names like its larger rivals, such as BMW, whose model was named the No. 1-8 Series.

    Good cars for cities, but not for long trips, in mountainous areas, where there are no battery charging stations.
