Frequently Asked Questions
How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?
The Kia EV3 Long Range achieves a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 7.7 seconds (placing it at №437 among 678 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 170 km/h.
Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 150 kW (201 hp) and a torque of 283 Nm.
How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?
The estimated How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range? for Kia EV3 Long Range falls between 398–486 km, ranking it №227 out of 678 electric vehicles. 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.
What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?
The Kia EV3 Long Range in Europe comes with a CCS Type 2 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11 kW, resulting in approximately 56 km of range added per hour of charging.
For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 135 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
