2023 Kia Niro | Review & Road test
Well, fear not, dear readers, because The Register can exclusively reveal that this writer's Kia Niro EV has now clocked up more than 114 million miles.
Granted, this number was displayed in Kia's Connect app and contrasts with the 20,000 miles on the car's odometer, but still. It's on an iPhone, so it must be right. Right?
Over the 15 months of ownership, this equates to around 7,600,000 miles per month or around 1,900,000 miles per week. In a single day, Kia estimates I travel 271,429 miles, or 11,309 miles per hour (assuming I have a very long extension cord).
