Get this 315 mile range car!
I could go on and on about all the things I like about this car, but the main thing is...315 miles of range! EPA rating of 239 not even close. When fully charged, my range varies between 300 and 326 miles. Also, my range has INCREASED since purchasing this car last year even though range should decrease about 2% a year. In full disclosure, I always drive in ECO mode, use maximum regeneration, don't accelerate or brake hard and drive pretty gentle. However, shouldn't we all drive that way anyway? Now this is NOT a sports car, but for day to day driving and a great price (with federal/state incentives), I highly recommend it. 240V charger in my garage takes about 8-9 hours for full charge. No more gas stations. Never thought I'd own an electric car, at least not this soon, but I will never go back to ICE again.

Great EV value
Great car so far. Difficult to find a better value in a fully electric vehicle of this size.

Best car I've had
My previous car was a 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid, which I loved. After almost 8 years and nearly 100,000 miles, I decided to trade it in while it was still worth something. I knew I wanted an EV, and was planning to get a Chevy Bolt, but got tired of waiting for the manufacturing pause to end. I did a little further research and decided to check out the Kia Niro EV in person. As soon as I saw it on the lot, I knew it was my car. It's cute in a conventional way, it has an impressive amount of tech that I actually use, the seats are comfortable (my main complaint about the Fusion was that the front seats were terrible), and the size is just right. Though it is a little different to drive than a conventional car, it was easy to learn and not at all intimidating. Most impressively, I have always gotten well over the EPA range rating; I average over 300 miles per charge. This is a well-designed, good-looking, and user-friendly EV and I will never go back to an internal combustion engine.

Excellent So Far
I’ve had the car 2 weeks, and I am not a high mileage driver. There are a lot of functions new to me that I’ve not yet tried, probably others I haven’t discovered. However, even before mastering any, this is a great car. Although the Niro EV is smaller than the sedans I’ve driven for 15+ years (Kia Amonti, Hyundai Azera), it feels roomier inside while leaving significantly more room to park 2 cars in a tight 2-car garage. The range is about 280 miles, so a round trip to Wisconsin (101 miles away/ 202 round trip) was completed with plenty miles to spare. Although highway mileage drains more juice, the difference was just 25 more miles over the round trip. Acceleration is faster and smoother than any car I’ve driven in over 50 years. Braking & handling are also smooth. The Smart Cruise Control does great reducing & restoring speed on highways (70 mph down to 50 mph & back to 70) as traffic conditions change. So far, I have only used the 120V slow charger that comes with the car without problems.
Smooth
Love this car. Great pick up. Charges fast. Just a total pleasure. Have had for two weeks. Have no complaints whatsoever.
