How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Kia Niro EV Long Range (2018-2022) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 150 kW (201 hp) of power and 291 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 7.8 seconds (№62 out of 118 ranked positions, among 933 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 104 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Kia Niro EV Long Range (2018-2022) is 234 miles, ranking it №139 out of 262 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Kia Niro EV Long Range (2018-2022) in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 7.2 kW, which translates to roughly 24 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Kia Niro EV Long Range (2018-2022) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 77 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.
