This car was everything I expected - The only thing I have a negative about is the quick depletion of the 26 mile battery usage. I suppose that is my fault as I drive it more than I expected :)

Readers; I real human review of the 2019 Kia Niro BEV, for a change! This writer bought this EV to replaced the good but flawed IONIQ 03 EV. A better choice may be hard to find. 2019 was the first year for this EV- and it won awards And continues to so do to the present. And with good reasons. First, its a fine size, it has decent range, REAL controls, the seats are good, the visibility at all points of the compass are excceptional. The storage is hard to fault for its size. He has taken home 08 ft long lumber and a load of roof shingles in it! It has the rear wiper, a huge plus. The seats are adequate, but NOT like the seats of a 1970 Caddy. The seating position is somewhat high, giving a good view out the front. The EV is a true wonder to drive and to know where the AP Hill you are on the road, or a parking lot; no guessing or cameras needed. The charge door on the front is the best place, this from use. It is the best place when you pull into a garage or a charging stall. Right there, and easy to get the plug into it to 'feed' the EV. This writer is averaging 05.1MpKw in the city and 04.02 on the highway [all factors entered into the equation]. Its basic in its looks, which is fine. The raging anti-EV nutjobs will not see you as a target. And the car thieves will pass you by to steal the Tesla Model X parked next to you. Now the negatives. This writer got the 'peasant level trim' with the "Funeral Directors Edition" black on black with more shiny black interior. A bad choice, you almost need a flashlight to find the start button at noon. Some bright, aftermarket items are a good investment. The EV came with no front trunk [frunk]. So an internet search yielded an aftermarket unit, which I bought. It holds the portable EVSE I always carry with me. The "Ipad" center screen is tiny, to the point of absurd. Thankfully, I do use it for much of anything. The EV is, to be blunt, "tech -phobic'. There is none of the 'tech fluff' of other EVs. No adjustable ride height{sounds great, till you have to fix it when it breaks!] no games, no dog/cat/hamster mode, no condom dispenser, no air freshener device and more. Just basic EV transportation for the buyer who DOES WANT to have an EV that is more complex that the cockpit of the Space Shuttle. So, Reader, when you buy a New or Used model, get the top speck version. It will be worth the money spent. You will get heated seats & wheel, great energy saver for Northern winter drivers. Also, if in the snow belt, get the "Preserve Package ' which gives you the heat pump and battery preconditioning. And unless you are a die hard Goth Enthusiasts get the lighter interior. EVERY time this writer gets in his EV, the OLD song by the "Doors" runs thru his mind--"I see a line of cars, and there all painted black, no colours any more, I wanted it all turned black--!" Now Reader, enough of words, go test drive one, see if it suits thee, then BUY ONE!

Update after 21 months with the car: Still love it. The fact that it's electric; I have only taken it in for 2 scheduled services at the dealer. 1st one cost $75 - tire rotation and cabin air filter change. The 2nd was $35 - tire rotation. I changed my own cabin air filter this time (easy, see youtube). Well, it did cost $15 to buy it. Still HATE the black interior and the driver's seat is showing wear in the material. That's disappointing. Mileage is the same as stated below. Still, I can recommend the car. Original post; I have the 2019. $40,000 out-the-door. I don't know if it's because I live in Southern California, (don't need the heater very often) and I'm a fairly conservative driver, but the range which is stated at 239 miles, is lower than my actual. In winter, I get about 270 when fully charged. In warmer months and summer, I get over 300, to a max of about 315 miles. I HATE the black interior as it shows every spec of dirt which is tracked into the car. There were no other options for interior color. Other than that, I love the car and recommend it.
Best EV , compared my 2 previous nissan leafs

Generally we average about 4mi/kwh = 2.8 cents per mile where we live. Very comfortable. Fun to drive. BUT if you want to be very comfortable in the winter or very hot summer, you will not get 3 mi/kwh. And your 100% range is closer to 200 miles. It seems that recharging to only 80% is recommended. With rebates our Level II charger cost about $500 installed by an electrician. Ugly truth. Tires wear out much faster because of weight and xtra torque. Figure 30-35K...and about $600-800+ to replace. Some tires give you better EV range and some last longer-- greater cost per mile. Since about 15%+ of tire cost is installation, it would seem that a longer lasting tire that gives you about 10% less EV range would be the best.
