Sales and Price:

Kia has officially confirmed that the EV3 compact electric SUV will go on sale later this year after online unveiling on May 23. However, there’s no information available on the price but there’s a previous report available on this matter

Back in March, Kia CEO, Song Hoo-Sung said EV3 will be in the center of Kia’s this year’s sales strategy. Meanwhile, it could start at 46.5 million won ($35,000) in Korea and may down further with government subsidies to 30 million won ($22,500).

That’s a massive targeted price point and the company could make robust EV sales based on this estimated price if it comes into play.
