Kia Launching New EV

Kia Motors is making headlines with an all-new electric car model set to launch very, very soon: by the end of 2011, in fact, in Kia’s home market of South Korea. No word yet on when the new model will come to the U.S., but we figure some time in late 2012.

The new car is part of a development program with Kia’s sister
company Hyundai, codenamed TAM, which will bring two similar EVs to
market very soon and at least two more by 2015. The best look yet of
Kia’s variant comes in the form of the Kia Naimo Concept EV
(shown above), which recently made its debut at the 2011 Seoul Motor
Show. The Naimo Concept uses a 27 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery and
promises a range of around 125 miles.
