Presented in Los Angeles to show off Kia’s investment in green technologies, the P
OP Concept is a small, 100% electric, two-passenger vehicle that measures less than 10 feet long and that flaunts a futuristic look out of chrome and sheer roundness.

The cockpit is surprising, as the dashboard is replaced by a LED display screen that indicates the P
OP’s battery charge level. The controls have also been created on the same theme, as they are replaced by a touch screen.
The concept car is equipped with lithium polymer gel batteries, which are as efficient as lithium-ion batteries but lighter and 20% more compact. Kia claims the P
OP can travel up to 160 kilometres on a full charge and can reach speeds up to 140 km/h. Six hours are required to fully charge the P
OP’s battery pack.
