Kia EV Sales Holding Up Okay In 2026 In USA
- •Despite reports of significant drops in performance for other brands, Kia's EV sales are holding up 'okay' in the US market in 2026, with Hyundai's EV sales performing 'even better'.
- •This indicates continued, albeit potentially uneven, growth in the electric vehicle fleet, contributing to sustained electricity demand from the transportation sector.
