The J.D. Power Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Ownership Study gave the Kia Niro EV a number-one ranking for 2021 among mass-market electric vehicle brands. During this first-of-its-kind survey, close to 10,000 EV owners were asked their opinions on the Kia Niro regarding ownership cost, battery range, and overall driving satisfaction. The study’s goal was to find out how likely it would be for current owners to recommend an electric vehicle to others or to purchase another EV in the future.

Nature of the Electric Vehicle Experience Study

The US EVX Ownership Study establishes the benchmark for assessing customer satisfaction about qualities that impact the experience of owning an electric vehicle. The EVX ownership index uses a 1,000-point scale to assess both premium and mass-market EV owners’ views on (1) accuracy of the battery range stated by the manufacturer; (2) charging-station availability; (3) driving range; (4) ownership cost; (5) driving enjoyment; (6) ease of home charging; and (7) quality and dependability.
