Kia EV3 Small Battery Charging Test | 58 kWh vs 81 kWh, VW ID.3 & BMW iX1 Comparison

In this video, we test the Kia EV3 with the small 58 kWh battery (55 kWh usable) on a fast charger, going from 10–80% in just about 31 minutes. Kia claims a 30-minute charging time—does it live up to the promise? We break down the full charging curve, peak speeds, and efficiency compared to the Kia EV3 big battery (81 kWh), the Volkswagen ID.3 Pro (59 kWh), and the BMW iX1 xDrive30.

You’ll see how the EV3’s charging performance holds up at 90–102 kW, how long it sustains peak power, and where it starts tapering off. We also look at real-world range gained over time based on a 130 km/h consumption test, highlighting how the EV3 stacks up against its rivals in both speed and efficiency.

If you’re considering the Kia EV3—or want to see how it competes with the VW ID.3 and BMW iX1—this detailed charging analysis gives you the answers.
