Kia Niro Electric

It has a 239-mile range, which means the Niro EV will outrun some electric cars that cost tens of thousands more. The Niro shares its electric drive with the Hyundai Kona Electric. Like its corporate siblings, it has a 64-kilowatt-hour battery that takes about 10-hours to charge from almost empty using a 240-volt connector. Acceleration is smooth, instant, and silent. We think this EV is more rewarding to drive than the hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the Niro. Unfortunately, Kia limits its availability to a handful of states. Active safety features include FCW, AEB, pedestrian and cyclist detection, BSW, and RCTW.
