These curves are aggregated, owner-reported degradation data — not official manufacturer figures. Your own result above is the number that matters.

How to find these values on your Kia

Wh/mi or Wh/km

On the infotainment screen, navigate to "EV" → "Energy Information" (or "Energy Consumption"). Average Wh/mi or Wh/km is shown in the consumption graph/table.

Estimated Range

Estimated range appears on the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel and in the EV menu on the central display.

Battery Percentage

Battery percentage is displayed on the instrument cluster (digital or analog gauge) and at the top of the EV menu screen.

About the Kia PV5

The Kia PV5 is a purpose-built electric van developed on Kia's Platform Beyond Vehicle architecture, designed from the ground up as an EV rather than a conversion of an existing diesel van. Available in 48 kWh and 67 kWh battery options, it offers modular flexibility with different body styles including panel van, chassis cab, and passenger configurations.

The modular skateboard platform allows businesses to swap upper body modules for different uses — delivery, refrigeration, or even mobile retail. DC charging at up to 150 kW means a usable top-up during a lunch break. The 67 kWh version targets around 260 miles WLTP range, which should translate to 200+ miles in real-world commercial use with payload.

Kia is positioning the PV5 as a direct rival to the Ford E-Transit Custom and Mercedes eSprinter, with competitive payload capacity and lower running costs than diesel equivalents. Fleet buyers benefit from Kia's strong warranty and growing dealer network.

What the press thinks

Early assessments praise the PV5's ground-up EV design, modular flexibility, and competitive range. Reviewers note the ride quality and refinement are a step above converted diesel vans, though real-world payload-range trade-offs remain to be tested at scale.
