It’s a Kia Niro EV with more than 100,000km on the clock – how’s that battery holding up? * What to look for when buying a second hand EV* Road test review: Kia Niro EV Premium* Kia updates and expands Niro SUV rangeBattery degradation depends on a wide variety of factors, just like wear in combustion engines, except with EV batteries we have to talk about things like temperature, cycles and time, which are the three biggest factors that will cause degradation. Damien O'Carroll/Stuff While it may not be the most exciting looking EV, the Niro remains a pleasant thing to drive. So what about a used New Zealand new EV that has racked up a lot of kilometres in a relatively short time? In fact, spending a few days in the used Niro reminded me of exactly how good the Kia EV actually is, and I can only assume it is largely forgotten in the EV discussion because its bland looks make it almost invisible.
