Turkey's electric vehicle market is going through one of its most dynamic periods yet. The affordable electric B-SUV segment has been practically reshaped over the past year, and one of its most anticipated players — the Kia EV2 — officially went on sale in Turkey on August 13, 2026. Carrying Kia's promise of "making electric accessible to everyone," this compact SUV is poised to shift the balance of the segment with a promotional starting price of 1,599,000 TL and a WLTP range of up to 453 km.

In this article, we cover the Kia EV2's Turkish price list, its battery and range options, AC/DC charging performance, how it stacks up against direct rivals like the Hyundai Inster and Fiat Grande Panda, and — most importantly — how many minutes it takes and roughly how much it costs to charge this car at public stations in Turkey.

Kia EV2 Price List in Turkey (2026)

The Kia EV2 is offered in Turkey in three trim levels. As part of the launch campaign, discounts of up to 120,000 TL apply (150,000 TL on the long-range version):

Trim	Battery	List Price	Promotional Price
Cool	42.2 kWh (LFP)	1,719,000 TL	1,599,000 TL
Elegance	42.2 kWh (LFP)	1,919,000 TL	1,799,000 TL
Elegance Long Range	61 kWh (NMC)	2,129,000 TL	1,979,000 TL

Promotional prices are updated periodically, so it's worth confirming the current list with your dealer. Still, an entry price in the 1.6 million TL band positions the EV2 just above the league of Turkey's cheapest electric cars — squarely in front of buyers thinking, "I'll stretch the budget a bit for a more modern platform."

Battery and Range: Two Different Characters

The Kia EV2 comes with two battery options, and they really cater to two different user profiles:

Standard Range — 42.2 kWh LFP

WLTP range: 317 km
Motor output: 107.8 kW (about 147 HP)
LFP (lithium iron phosphate) chemistry: more tolerant of frequent 100% charges, ideal for city use

For an urban driver covering 40–60 km a day, a 317 km range means charging once or twice a week. The fact that an LFP battery can comfortably be charged to 100% is a practical bonus.

Long Range — 61 kWh NMC

WLTP range: 453 km
Motor output: 99.5 kW (about 135 HP)
NMC chemistry: higher energy density

This is the right pick for drivers who regularly travel between cities and simply don't want to think about range anxiety. With 453 km of WLTP range, even in real-world conditions the Istanbul–Ankara run is comfortably done with a single stop.

Charging Performance: How Fast Does the Kia EV2 Charge?

When buying an EV, the second question — just as important as range — is how quickly the car charges. Here, the Kia EV2 sits at the top end of its segment.

DC fast charging

Both battery options support DC fast charging at up to 118 kW. At that power:

10% to 80% in about 30 minutes (for both batteries)

That's a strong figure for the segment average; for comparison, the Hyundai Inster's DC charging is capped at 80 kW. To make full use of the 118 kW, you'll need to plug into a DC station rated at 120 kW or more — the car will still charge on a lower-powered DC connector, just more slowly.

AC charging

11 kW AC charging is standard, with 22 kW optional
42.2 kWh battery: about 4 hours at 11 kW, about 2.5 hours at 22 kW
61 kWh battery: about 5.5 hours at 11 kW, about 3 hours at 22 kW

The 22 kW AC option is worth noting: since a significant share of Turkey's public AC stations can deliver 22 kW, an EV2 owner who ticks that option can nearly halve their charging time at shopping malls and car parks.

Charging at Public Stations in Turkey: Time and Approximate Cost

Now for the part that hits the wallet. As of 2026, public charging tariffs in Turkey vary by operator but roughly fall in this range: around 8–9 TL/kWh on average for AC charging, and 11–14 TL/kWh for DC fast charging (with some high-power HPC stations exceeding 16 TL/kWh).

At these tariffs, the rough math for the Kia EV2 looks like this:

10% → 80% at a DC station (road-trip scenario)

Standard battery (42.2 kWh): takes in about 29–30 kWh → roughly 330–420 TL, in ~30 minutes
Long Range (61 kWh): takes in about 42–43 kWh → roughly 470–600 TL, in ~30 minutes

In other words, with the long-range EV2 you can bring the battery to 80% over a coffee break — adding roughly 310–320 km of WLTP range — for around 500 TL at current DC tariffs.

Full charge at an AC station (daily scenario)

42.2 kWh battery: roughly 340–380 TL (~4 hours at 11 kW)
61 kWh battery: roughly 490–550 TL (~5.5 hours at 11 kW)

Cost per 100 km

Based on WLTP figures, the long-range version consumes about 13.5 kWh/100 km. That works out to:

100 km on public AC charging ≈ roughly 110–120 TL
100 km on public DC charging ≈ roughly 150–190 TL

Compared with the fuel cost of a petrol-powered B-SUV over the same distance, the gap still clearly favors electric — and remember, this math is based entirely on public station tariffs. For owners charging at home on a night tariff, the cost drops much lower.

Kia EV2 vs. Its Rivals: Comparison Table

The league the EV2 plays in is clear: affordable electric B-segment. Here's how it compares with its direct rivals sold in Turkey:

	Kia EV2	Hyundai Inster	Fiat Grande Panda
Starting price (promotional)	1,599,000 TL	~1.32–1.40 million TL	~1.5 million TL
Battery	42.2 kWh LFP / 61 kWh NMC	up to 49 kWh	44 kWh
WLTP range	317 / 453 km	~360 km	~320 km
Motor output	147 / 135 HP	—	113 HP
DC charging power	118 kW	80 kW	~100 kW
DC charging time	10→80%: ~30 min	to ~80%: ~30 min	20→80%: ~27 min
AC charging	11 kW (22 kW opt.)	—	7 kW cable + 11 kW
Length	4,060 mm	shorter (between A and B)	~4 m class

The table tells a clear story: the Inster and Grande Panda lead on price, while the EV2 stands out on range, charging power, and interior space. With a 2,565 mm wheelbase, the EV2 offers rear-seat room above its class despite its 4.06-meter length, plus 362–403 liters of boot space. A version with 453 km of WLTP range selling for under 2 million TL in this segment would have seemed impossible in the Turkish market just a year ago.

Since rival prices also move with campaign periods, the figures in the table should be read as approximate — but this is the overall picture of the segment.

Which Version for Whom?

Mostly city driving, budget first: Cool (42.2 kWh). The LFP battery plus 317 km of range is more than enough for daily use; you'd never make back the ~380,000 TL difference in charging costs.
Comfort plus city driving: Elegance (42.2 kWh). Richer equipment, same battery.
Regular intercity travel: Elegance Long Range (61 kWh). The combination of 453 km of range and 118 kW DC charging is a genuine comfort on long trips.

A note for long-distance drivers: to get full value out of the 118 kW charging capability, favor DC stations rated at 120 kW or more along your route. Turkey's DC fast-charging network has expanded significantly over the past two years, and finding stations at this power level on major routes is no longer an issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Kia EV2 cost in Turkey?

Under the launch campaign, the Cool trim is 1,599,000 TL, the Elegance 1,799,000 TL, and the Elegance Long Range 1,979,000 TL. List prices without the campaign are 1,719,000 / 1,919,000 / 2,129,000 TL respectively. Campaign terms may change from period to period.

How far does the Kia EV2 go on a single charge?

Under WLTP standards, the 42.2 kWh version offers 317 km of range and the 61 kWh Long Range version 453 km. In real-world use, range can fall somewhat below these figures depending on speed, ambient temperature, and driving style — especially in winter.

How long does the Kia EV2 take on a DC fast charger?

Both batteries support DC charging at up to 118 kW, reaching 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes at a sufficiently powerful station. At current DC tariffs (11–14 TL/kWh on average), that session costs roughly 470–600 TL on the long-range version.

Kia EV2 or Hyundai Inster?

If budget is the deciding factor and the car will mostly be used in the city, the Inster's price advantage is significant. For drivers who want more range (453 km vs. ~360 km), faster DC charging (118 kW vs. 80 kW), and a roomier interior — and who occasionally travel between cities — the EV2 earns the price difference.

Conclusion

The Kia EV2 is a launch that shows an electric car in Turkey can be "accessible yet complete." A starting price in the 1.6 million TL band, a range option reaching 453 km, 30-minute fast charging, and interior space above its class look set to make this one of the most talked-about models of 2026. And the intensifying competition in the segment benefits consumers most of all: price-to-range equations that were a dream a year ago are in showrooms today.

Whether you drive a Kia EV2 or any other electric vehicle, ADZE Charge's AC and DC fast-charging stations — with more than 50 locations and 850+ sockets across Turkey — are with you all along the way.
