Kia's EV2 looks smart on paper. US market gets nothing.
Kia dropped the EV2—a compact, affordable electric hatchback—at Brussels with the kind of pragmatic design that actually works for city driving. Problem: Kia's US strategy suggests this won't cross the Atlantic. Another case of bean counters deciding Americans only want crossovers and SUVs.
The US EV market is getting dumber while the rest of the world gets cheaper, smarter options. Kia knows what sells here, and it's not this.
