Kia PV5 Cargo Electric Van: Price, Range, and Specs for Fleet Operators

Kia PV5 Cargo Electric Van

Kia has introduced the PV5 Cargo, marking a strategic entry into the electric light commercial vehicle market. With a sharp focus on operational efficiency, the van is designed to meet evolving logistics needs in urban and regional settings. The PV5 Cargo combines electric range, fast charging, and modularity to support modern delivery fleets.

Key Features of the Kia PV5 Cargo

  • Cargo Volume: Offers up to 5.1 cubic meters of capacity.
  • Interior Height: High-roof variant allows 1,815 mm of internal height—ideal for upright movement.
  • Low Loading Height: At just 410 mm, the rear loading height speeds up loading/unloading tasks.
  • Battery Choices: Available with 43.3 kWh, 51.5 kWh, or 71.2 kWh battery packs.
  • Electric Range: Reaches up to 248 miles (WLTP), depending on configuration.
  • Ultra-Fast Charging: Charges from 10–80% in about 30 minutes.
  • Fleet Integration: Built-in Fleet Management System (FMS), powered by Geotab, enables real-time vehicle tracking and data logging.
  • Driver Assistance: Equipped with Forward Collision Avoidance, Rear Collision Avoidance, and Driver Attention Warning systems.

Dimensions and Variants

Kia offers multiple configurations to fit specific commercial use cases. Here’s a breakdown:

ModelLength (mm)Width (mm)Height (mm)Cargo Volume (m³)
Compact (L1H1)4,5001,9001,9003.4
Long (L2H1)4,7001,9001,9004.5
High-Roof (L2H2)4,7001,9002,2005.1

Each variant is tailored to different delivery volumes, payload needs, and urban maneuverability.

Battery and Charging Performance

The PV5 Cargo uses Kia’s latest-generation battery and powertrain technology:

  • 71.2 kWh battery offers up to 248 miles per charge.
  • 400V system allows DC fast charging, reaching 80% charge in 30 minutes.
  • Compatible with most commercial depot chargers.
  • Supports scheduled charging and pre-conditioning to improve energy use.

Driving and Safety Systems

For professional drivers, time and predictability are everything. Key active safety features include:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)
  • Driver Attention Warning (DAW)
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA)
  • Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)

The PV5 Cargo also offers optional digital side mirrors to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase rear visibility.

Interior and Connectivity

The cockpit is built for practicality:

  • Digital display cluster paired with a large infotainment screen.
  • Integrated navigation with EV route planning.
  • Over-the-air updates for software and firmware.
  • Fleet Management System (FMS) enables centralized vehicle data logging and diagnostics via Geotab’s connected platform.

This setup minimizes downtime and simplifies asset management across large fleets.

Business Use Cases

The PV5 Cargo is ideal for a wide range of commercial use cases:

  • E-commerce Delivery: Compact design supports last-mile routes with frequent stops.
  • Maintenance and Repair: Spacious cargo bay holds tools, parts, and mobile workstations.
  • Medical Logistics: High-roof and custom conversions support temperature-controlled delivery needs.
  • Facility Operations: Supports electricians, plumbers, and other on-site technical teams.

Cost and Ownership

Pricing starts at approximately $42,000 USD, depending on configuration and battery size. This positions it competitively against both traditional ICE vans and newer EV rivals.

Key ownership savings include:

  • Lower fueling cost per mile versus diesel vans.
  • Reduced maintenance due to fewer moving parts.
  • Eligibility for government incentives depending on location.

Market Comparison

Here’s how the Kia PV5 Cargo stacks up against similar electric commercial vans:

Kia PV5 Cargo5.124842,00030 minutes
Ford E-Transit9.519651,00034 minutes

  • The Ford E-Transit leads in raw cargo capacity but is more expensive and has less range.
  • The VW ID. Buzz Cargo has slightly better range, but less space.
  • The Kia PV5 Cargo hits a balance of range, price, and modularity.
