Kia Motors, one of Korea's popular car manufacturers, has announced the launch of Korea's first Electric Vehicle (EV) - the Kia Ray EV. If the first thing that popped into your mind was the sleek curves of a manta ray's body when you heard the name “Ray” you're not alone - that was my first though. However it looks like Kia has decided to go with a not-so-sleek boxy shape for the Ray EV. It shares the same dimensions as the Ray CUV (crossover utility vehicle) that was launched last month, but instead of the 1.0 liter gasoline engine, it makes use of a 50KW electric motor and a 16.4 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack to run.
