Kia's EV9 is arguably the first electric rig to provide a long range, three rows of seats and a somewhat affordable price tag ($54,900 and up), making it a bit of an electric unicorn. The secret: keeping the weight down and spooling up EV production across the board. Those who are both climate-conscious and minivan-averse will be queueing up.
