Kia Niro Battery
Both the 1.6 PHEV DCT and the electric 64.8 kWh use lithium-ion batteries. Consider Kia Niro battery capacity alongside your daily distance and charging access: regular charging helps the plug-in hybrid cover more driving electrically, while the fully electric version relies entirely on stored battery energy.
