We put the all-new Kia PV5 Cargo Van to the test with a real-world journey from Cork to IKEA… and back again. This wasn’t a staged run — just a practical, everyday trip to see how the PV5 performs in real Irish driving conditions.
We left Cork with 100% battery and made one planned stop at Junction 14, arriving with 50% battery. After a 30-minute charge, the battery increased to 93%, and we reached IKEA with 79% remaining.
For businesses considering the move to electric, this is what real-world usage can look like — a short charge, strong range, and a van ready to keep moving.
📍 Route: Cork → Junction 14 → IKEA → Return
🔋 Start charge at Junction 14: 50%
⚡ 30-minute charge to: 93%
🔋 Arrival at IKEA: 79%
