[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] Kia announced on the 21st that it will release The Kia Ray EV (Ray EV), an electric vehicle model of The New Kia Ray released last year.
It is possible to charge 80% in 40 minutes. It takes 6 hours to fully charge when using a slow charger.
The 14-inch alloy wheel and charging hole are applied with electric vehicle design elements such as the front center garnish applied in the center. The interior is equipped with a 10.25-inch Supervision cluster and an electronic transmission lever that integrates the start button.
It has secured a one-time charging mileage of 233km in the center of the city by applying a 35.2kWh lithium phosphate (LFP) battery and a battery front undercover that improves aerodynamic performance, and achieved a combined power ratio of 5.1km/kWh based on 14-inch tires.
The driving motor has a maximum output of 64.3kW (about 87ps) and a maximum torque of 147nm, which is better for acceleration and driving performance than gasoline models with a maximum output of 76ps (about 55.9kW) and a maximum torque of 9.7kgf and m (about 95.1nm).
It has applied an auto hold that is highly utilized in congested sections, a full flat function that folds all seats, and a utility mode that allows users to use electric devices such as air conditioning and audio for a long time when not driving.
In addition, it will be classified as a light electric vehicle and will be subject to various tax benefits, including the exemption from individual consumption tax, education tax and acquisition tax, and the refund of VAT for individual business owners (limited to general taxation) and corporate operators.
Ray EV can combine three models, including a four-seater/two-seater van/one-seater van, and two trims, including light/air.
Of the total contracts, about 89% of customers contracted four-seater passenger models, and 89% of them chose air trims with advanced driver assistance systems such as lane maintenance assistance and driver's seat full folding seats.
