The article comments are bitching about Kia being coy about specs so fyi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_PV5
3 batteries - 43, 51, 71 kWh, 89kW/122PS
https://ev-database.org/car/3289/Kia-PV5-Passenger-712-kWh

"The Passenger variant is powered by a 71.2 kWh battery, providing an estimated driving range of up to 358 kilometers (222 miles). The Cargo variant offers two battery options: a 51.5 kWh pack for a 280-kilometer (174 miles) range, and a 71.2 kWh pack for up to 377 kilometers (234 miles) per charge."
That's enough for knocking around town with the 2.5 kids and doing grocery runs. Hell, depending on where you live, that may even do for cargo van duties if there are enough fast chargers around your city.
I can't wait for this to never make it to the US.
