Kia Is Offering A Cheaper EV6 But Only For People In The Western U.S.
Kia’s cheaper EV6 comes with a big catch: limited availability and limited range.
While all
new cars are expensive, EVs are still the most expensive. With the
average price hovering somewhere around $64,000, most models are out of reach for most Americans. Tax credits help some, but they just make the math on the price of the car go from expensive to “slightly less but still expensive.”Luckily Kia is trying to get more buyers into EVs with a cheaper model. After seemingly raising prices on its EV6 last year, Kia is now bringing back a cheaper trim, but it comes with a catch: extremely limited distribution.
Late last year, Kia
dropped the EV6 Light trim from its lineup. It simultaneously raised the price $7,100 and disqualified the car from being eligible for federal EV tax credits. Now, that Light trim is back,
Cars Direct has confirmed. While it still doesn’t qualify for the tax credit, its base price is much lower. Including a $1,325 destination charge, the EV6 Light starts at $43,925.
