Kia officially launched the 2025 Ray EV in Korea with the same low starting price of under $21,000. However, the new model year gains additional features. With incentives, the entry-level electric car can be bought for as little as $15,000 (20 million won).

The “New Kia Ray” was reborn as an entry-level EV last year. After opening pre-orders last August, starting at around $20,500 (27.35 million won), the Kia Ray EV secured over 6,000 reservations in less than a month.

I have an EV with 250 miles range. Typically gets more than that, not less, in the summer with AC on.

Lucky you. Neither of the EVs I’ve owned have worked this way. The guess o meter automatically goes down when the AC is turned on.

“A study by AAA found that a temperature of 95 degrees outside translates to a 17% range loss.”
