Kia has reported a remarkable 74% increase in electric vehicle sales in the United States for 2024, outperforming its previous year's figures. This surge in EV sales comes amidst a strong overall performance for Kia, which achieved record global sales for the second consecutive year.
Kia EVs set new sales records last year in the U.S. The automaker sold 74% more EVs stateside in 2024 than in 2023. It’s January, which means automakers are tallying their sales numbers from last year. In Kia’s case, it had a fantastic 2024 on all fronts, including electric models. Last year, the Korean car manufacturer sold a record number of vehicles globally for the second year in a row. In total, Kia moved 3.1 million units worldwide–up 0.1% from last year.
Granted, the difference between 2023 and 2024 was tiny–just 2,073 units–but numbers are numbers, and they do wonders for the marketing department. In the United States, things are even better, with Kia recording its seventh consecutive year of growth and the highest-ever annual retail sales volume. In total, the automaker sold 796,488 passenger vehicles last year, 14,037 or 1.8% more than in 2023.

However, the EV6 and EV9 are the heavy lifters in Kia’s electric vehicle portfolio, and we have the numbers to back that up. Percentage-wise, total Kia EV sales went up 74% last year compared to 2023. In the case of the EV9 three-row SUV, it sold 22,017 units in 2024, a huge increase from 2023 when just 1,118 were sold. However, while the increase in sales is significant, it’s worth remembering that sales of the EV9 in the U.S. only started in December of 2023. Meanwhile, Kia sold 21,715 EV6 units last year stateside, 15% more than in 2023. That’s a solid performance for the Hyundai Ioniq 5’s cousin, and it goes to show that the Korean automaker’s strategy is paying off
