Hi fellow Steemians!
What do you think of when you hear Kia? A boring car from South Korea?
Well, your opinions may have changed when you heard about the Stinger (check it out if you haven't, because it's a great car). Now it may change again with this Nero EV!
It's slightly toned down compared to the model shown by Kia at CES, but it still definitely stands out from the regular model.
It's estimated that the car will have a 64kWh battery, capable of roughly 280 miles (450km). For comparison, Tesla Model 3 has battery packs with capacity of 50kWh ~ 75kWh.
The performance is believed to be around 201HP and 291lb/ft of torque, so it's not ground breaking but not too slow either.
Although pricing is not confirmed yet, it should be quite reasonable since it is a Kia.
I welcome competition in any market and I gladly welcome the Nero EV. Electric car market has been filled with luxurious expensive vehicles and even Tesla's Model 3 is quite expensive for the car's worth. It's great to see Kia jump into the market and it'll certainly shake things up.
