Kia Niro EV: what to know
The 2025 Kia Niro EV is a 5-seat compact SUV with an EPA range of 253 mi from a 64 kWh battery, starting at $39,600 MSRP.
DC fast charging peaks at 85 kW but a 10–80% top-up takes around 43 minutes, so this is happiest as a home-charged daily driver rather than a frequent road-tripper.
It uses 30 kWh per 100 miles, so at the US-average home rate of $0.16/kWh it costs about 4.8¢ per mile to fuel — roughly $624 a year at 13,000 miles.
