I used to be very disenchanted at the moment when checking Kia’s US EV gross sales numbers for April. They crashed — onerous.
Kia EV6 gross sales have been down from 2,051 gross sales in April 2024 to 656 gross sales in April 2025. Kia EV6 gross sales have been down from 1,572 gross sales in April 2024 to 232 gross sales in April 2025. Not good….
Nevertheless, it appears there could be an evidence for it — and it’s not that the CEO has been making Nazi salutes and telling individuals it’s time to recover from World Conflict II. Does anybody even know who the CEO of Kia is?
“Kia has officially commenced production of EV6 and EV9 at our manufacturing facility in Georgia, where both models qualify for federal tax incentives. And now, Kia’s EV customers will benefit from enhanced charging flexibility and more convenience than ever before since Kia adopted both CCS and NACS charging standards, which opens access to more than 40,000 charging points nationwide. Recently, Kia unveiled significant enhancements to our model lineup with the debuts of the EV4, K4 hatchback, and the EV9 Nightfall Edition at the New York International Auto Show,” the corporate writes. Kia doesn’t say so, however maybe this modification of manufacturing location led to a short lived manufacturing and gross sales drop. One can hope!
Kia additionally famous on this information launch in addition to a world-focused information launch from the Kia World Media Middle that the Kia EV3 received the celebrated World Automotive of the Yr just lately, which we covered. “Lastly, Kia’s award streak continued with the EV3 named ‘World Car of the Year.’ This marks the second consecutive year Kia took home this prestigious award as EV9 was the 2024 ‘World Car of the Year’ winner,” Kia writes.
Within the world launch, Kia indicated that EV gross sales have been boosted by the brand new fashions. “The addition of new models — such as the EV3 full-electric SUV, named World Car of the Year at the 2025 World Car Awards — the EV4 full-electric sedan, and the Tasman pick-up truck, helped boost sales.” Although, there was no point out of the EV6 and EV9. We’ll should control this and see the place issues go.
