With the PV5, Kia has declared its intention to compete with heavy hitters like the Volkswagen ID Buzz, Ford E-Transit, Mercedes eSprinter, and Ram ProMaster EV. There are very few electric vans on the market today, but that looks to be changing with these new entrants.

Kia is scheduled to reveal more about the new van on February 24, with interior and powertrain details scheduled to be released three days later. Unfortunately, due to current tariff laws, it's unlikely the PV5 lineup will make its way to the United States, so this is one vehicle we'll have to enjoy from afar.

The Kia PV5 battery-electric van will ride on the company’s Platform Beyond Vehicle strategy.Kia says the PV5 will be available in cargo and passenger versions and will be joined by further additions to the range.
