The Kia EV2, the automaker’s small, affordable electric crossover, has been spotted on the street in camouflage. It’s the first time the model has been seen in the wild, although the EV2 is not currently confirmed for the US. The timing of the sighting is particularly significant given recent news that Tesla may have canned its plans for a $25,000 mass-market “Model 2” vehicle.
Chinese automakers have introduced a number of extremely cheap EVs, like BYD $11,500 Seagull, but none are available in the US thanks to high tariffs. Volkswagen has said it plans to eventually introduce a $26,000 EV called the ID.2all, and Ford has a skunkworks division currently working on a lineup of cheaper EVs. Kia and sister automaker Hyundai have introduced several competitively priced EVs using its shared E-GMP platform, including the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6 and Kia EV6 and EV9.
