The Korean automaker confirms it will launch a midsize electric pickup in the US in the next few years as part of an ambitious plan to sell over a million EVs by 2030.

"In North America, Kia plans to introduce an EV pickup truck based on a new EV platform designed for both urban and outdoor use," the company said in a statement this week. "The vehicle will feature best-in-class interior and cargo space, a robust towing system, off-road capabilities and advanced infotainment and safety features."

As it turns out, that doesn't mean American buyers will miss out on a truck from Kia, however. During an investor day presentation on Wednesday, the brand announced plans to bring a new pickup truck to the U.S. market — and it'll be electric.
