“After a record-breaking month in May, with EV sales doubling, Kia hit a new record with 29,392 electric cars sold in the first half of 2024.”

“affordable” is debateable, but for sure with the 800V architecturethey can minimize stopping time if properly heated before taking the charge. And they don’t cost that much compared to other 800V cars.

Good to hear. GM, Kia growing (from small numbers), Tesla steady (at high numbers)…
Better than the “EV sales are dropping” FUD in the first half of the year. FUD may come back though.

I’m tempted to trade our Model 3 for an Ionic 6. Been digging on the Kia/hyundai offerings.

I went with a friend to test drive a Kia EV since he was selling her Tesla 3 and the first seeing the interior and options and how it drives is so much luxury car like than a [Tesla.No](http://Tesla.No) squeeks,no rattle,suspension was soft and not rigid like Model 3. She actually bought one on the spot. I told her she made a right choice for a EV. I never really like the Tesla Model 3 looks or ride.
