Makes sense to me. Kia wants to make money and they still have a full $7500 tax credit. All of the Korean EVs will cost the customer less after tax credit.

2019 Kia Niro EV: 239 mile range / $37,500
2020 Kia Soul EV: 243 mile range / $35,00 (estimated)
2019 Hyundai Kona EV: 258 mile range / $36,450
All use a 64 kWh battery and 201 hp / 291 lb-ft motor.

The 2020 Ioniq EV jumps to 168 mile range but the price is unknown.

The Koreans have made the jump from compliance cars to competitive EVs.
