Niro EV range continues to surprise

Niro EV range

A full charge was just completed and the Kia Niro EV range continues to surprise. Cooling temperatures have yet to drop the car’s range to EPA expectations

In the heat of summer — 75°+ — Niro regularly hit 325 miles range. As temperatures started down in the fall — 50°-60° — range dropped to 275 miles. Remember, the EPA range rating is 250 miles.

So, today with temperatures just over 40°, the expectation was in the neighborhood of the EPA number. Instead, the result was a solid 270 miles (see below).

I will obviously keep an eye on this as colder weather approaches, but all-in-all the car continues to exceed most expectations.
