Kia is plowing ahead with plans to produce its first three-row electric SUV in the US, which is slated to begin this spring. However, it’s unclear whether Kia’s new US-made EV9 will fully qualify for the $7,500 EV tax credit at first.

After opening orders for its first three-row electric SUV in October, Kia’s EV9 has garnered significant interest.

Kia calls the EV9’s sub-$55K starting price a “wake-up call to the industry.” The automaker is already importing models to the US as sales have grown from 1,118 in December to 1,408 last month. Kia expects to sell about 2,000 EV9 models a month eventually.

And a waste of batteries. 75-100 kWh vs the EV6 at 60-75 and Niro at 65.
