Kia To Increase EV Sales, Improve HVAC Efficiency
In the last couple of years, Kia and Hyundai have really impressed anybody who’s been watching at all. Sure, they’re not anywhere near where Tesla is in terms of volume of sales, but the vehicle technology shows that they’re quite serious about building a decent electric vehicle. Not only are their latest offerings kind of cool, but they charge fast and have good performance figures at competitive prices.
In a press release from a couple days ago, Kia told us a lot more about its HVAC systems. The recently launched Kia EV9 boasts of a thermal system that features a heat pump, climate control system, and defrost and de-icing functionalities. Further, customers will experience enhanced convenience through a new climate control panel and improved roof vents, while enjoying maximum comfort.
Kia engineers focused on maximising cabin comfort and optimising power consumption during testing by tuning the control algorithm of the climate control under extreme hot and cold conditions. The cabin climate control provides the option for passengers to either manually adjust the temperature, intensity, and direction of air flow or for the system to automatically regulate it.The redesigned roof of the all-new Kia EV9 is fitted with four improved vents.
During the 2023 CEO Investor Day, Kia unveiled updated goals and specific details of its business strategy. The company aims to achieve global sales of 4.3 million units by 2030, which is a 34.4 percent increase from its 2023 annual sales target of 3.2 million units. Kia also plans to establish itself as a leading EV brand by increasing the proportion of electrified car sales to 55 percent in 2030, signifying a 7.5 percent rise from the 2030 target set in 2022.
