The Gist

Kia has confirmed that its compact EV3 will enter production at the Pesquería plant in Nuevo León, Mexico, as part of a broader push for local infrastructure development.

Kia is set to broaden its global manufacturing footprint for the EV3 compact electric vehicle. Starting August 4, the South Korean automaker will begin production at its existing facility in Pesquería, located in the state of Nuevo León, Mexico.

Local Market and Infrastructure

Beyond manufacturing, Kia intends to retail the EV3 within the Mexican market. To support this rollout, the company is committing to local investments aimed at expanding charging infrastructure and promoting the use of renewable energy sources in the region.

The move signifies Kia's strategy to localize production within North America, potentially streamlining supply chains and enhancing its competitive position in the compact electric SUV segment.
