Kia EV Sales Soar To New Monthly Sales Record In USA — But Still So Far To Go

Kia has some great electric vehicle news. It just reached a new monthly EV sales record for itself in the United States. In fact, the company’s US EV sales increased 61% compared to their previous monthly sales record, which was in April 2022 .Clearly, this is great news. That’s strong growth and it’s always good to set new EV sales records.

Maybe it’s unfair to compare to Tesla, but this is the standard in the US, and the fact of the matter is that Kia is stillTesla’s level. Tesla sold about 660,000 electric cars in the US last year. If you multiplied that 3,623 April total from Kia by 12 , you’d get 43,476 sales. Yes, just 43,476 sales. That’s about 6.6% of Tesla’s 2023 sales total in the country. Can Kia really only reach 6.6% of Tesla’s US sales total? Personally, I think it can do much better, and should do much better.

In summary, I think it’s great news that Kia EV sales grew 61% over their previous monthly sales record, from two years ago, and rapidly climbed up from 2.9% of the company’s total auto sales to 5.5%. But I also expect much more from Kia at this point. It creates highly compelling, competitive, top-tier electric vehicles. These are great cars and SUVs, hands down! Surely, the company can do better to make more of its sales EV sales rather than gas vehicle sales.
