The EV van market needed a shake-up. This Kia PV5 Cargo model provides just that. Competitors will be dismayed by its value proposition - and the load stats look competitive too, with the exception of payload, which won't suit those needing to transport heavier loads. But if that's not an issue for you, then what you're essentially getting here is a near-mid-sized van for the price of an extended compact one. Plus Kia throws in futuristic looks to give your deliveries a trendier vibe.
Looking at what the brand has brought us here, it's difficult to understand why the Korean maker didn't get serious about the European LCV sector much earlier. Now that it has, competitors are going to need to up their game. And British van fleet managers still wedded to diesel power might just start taking the EV revolution a bit more seriously.
