Keeping an eye on the PHEV. It should cost around $31k base, so probably $36k in luxury form.. and then get around $5500 tax credit Federal (doesn't get the $7500 due to battery size but still not bad), $1000 state credit in CA, and $750 utility credit. That makes the Niro PHEV a pretty solid deal in my mind. But I'm also curious about the EV version as well as new Bolt EUV since they're dropping the price.

We've been driving a Leaf for 6 yrs, and that time to charge was our question originally as well. From practical experience, however, you will never drive the car down to less than 10-20%, so a recharge on a 240v home charger takes just a couple of hours (and the Niro supports a faster charge rate, so it would charge much more quickly).

@@scottk7011 If that’s the case, It’s disappointing. I think Kia should have managed the torque better with a more sophisticated traction control system to start with. There are many more powerful electric vehicles that take off harder with little or no wheelspin. Maybe that’s harder to do with front-wheel drive only, but with today’s computers it should be achievable. In any case, a few extra miles of range aren’t worth losing the fun factor of big torque for me.
