Electrification technology is at a very advanced stage
Kia presented the electric version of the compact model Ray. It may not be widely addressed to the European market, however, it shows us the great steps the brand has taken towards electrification.
In continuation of the "simple" Ray model presented by Kia some time ago, now we see that the electric version of the model is also ready. In fact, in the relevant announcement it is emphasized that the Ray EV is the first electric model manufactured on the same production line as the simple conventional versions of the same model.
In any case, it is interesting to emphasize that the Ray EV uses a lithium-ion battery but also an electric motor with a power of 50kW and torque 167 Nm and the work it produces is transmitted to the wheels of the front axle. Thanks to this motor, the Ray EV accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 15,9 seconds and its top speed reaches 130 km / h.
Its battery takes a long time to charge 6 hours and its autonomy reaches the 139 kilometers.
