Kia commits to full EV future in Oz

While other manufacturers are hedging their bets with hydrogen and hybrids, Kia Australia has made a bold gamble on pure electrics. “A decision was made that we weren’t going to take a half-step; we’d go straight to battery-electric,” Kia Australia spokesperson Kevin Hepworth said. Kia Australia will kick off its venture into battery-electrics with the e-niro small SUV in Q4 next year, with two more EVS (a small passenger vehicle and a larger SUV) to follow.
