Kia EV2 Australian prospects fading

Summary: Kia’s latest EV2 faces significant pricing challenges in Australia, primarily due to high transport costs from its Slovakian production facility. The business case for the EV2 is faltering, as it is unlikely to be cheaper than the larger EV3, priced from $47,600. The importation woes similarly impact the EV4 models, with production set to begin in Slovakia this month. Kia is still evaluating the EV2’s viability for the Australian market.
