Canadian-Owned and Operated Since 1985August 11 2026,
Kia is stepping into commercial transportation with something genuinely different from a passenger EV wearing a work-van badge. The all-new Kia PV5 EV Cargo Van was developed specifically around the needs of businesses, pairing a fully electric platform with serious cargo capacity, easier loading, and technology built to keep a working day moving.

386 KM Keeps the Workday Moving
Range matters differently in a commercial vehicle. Every unnecessary charging stop can result in lost working time, so Kia equips the 2027 Kia PV5 with a 71.2-kWh long-range battery capable of delivering up to 386 km of estimated electric range. Kia also estimates a fast-charging session can be completed in approximately 30 minutes, helping businesses get the van back on the road without turning charging into an all-afternoon event.
NACS Opens Thousands of Charging Options
The all-new Kia PV5 EV Cargo Van also arrives with a NACS charging port, expanding access to thousands of compatible fast-charging stations across Canada. For commercial operators, that wider charging network could be just as important as the van's headline range. A work vehicle needs charging options where the work actually happens, particularly for businesses covering different routes from one day to the next.
5,016 Litres Built Around Real Cargo
This is where the PV5 starts looking less like another new EV and more like a proper business tool. Kia quotes up to 5,016 litres of cargo volume. A low step-in height of approximately 16.5 inches is designed to make repeated loading and unloading easier, while the wide-opening rear tailgate can operate between approximately 95 and 180 degrees. Whether the job involves tools, inventory, equipment or daily deliveries, Kia has clearly put cargo accessibility near the top of the brief.
V2L Turns Battery Power Into Job-Site Power
An available Vehicle-to-Load system with two power outlets gives the 2027 Kia PV5 an advantage that goes beyond driving on electricity. V2L allows energy stored in the battery to power compatible external equipment. For trades, mobile services and other businesses that regularly rely on powered equipment away from a fixed location, the van can effectively become part transportation and part mobile power source.
12.8-Inch Display Runs the Digital Workspace
The cabin carries over the connected experience businesses increasingly expect from their vehicles. Drivers get a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster alongside a 12.8-inch infotainment display, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Kia Connect and over-the-air updates add another layer of connectivity, allowing the PV5's technology to stay current without treating every software update like another service appointment.
Driver Assistance Comes Standard
Kia has also equipped the PV5 Cargo with a substantial standard driver-assistance package. Features include Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Highway Driving Assist, and front and rear parking sensors. That technology can be especially useful in a commercial van spending its day navigating traffic, parking lots, loading areas and unfamiliar delivery locations.
