KGM right now
Electric pickups are no longer rare. Most target high prices and high outputs. KGM Musso EV takes a different path. It goes for value, practicality, and simple tech. It targets fleets, trades, and families. It also brings LFP battery durability and long warranties. That combination changes purchase math for many buyers.
The short take
KGM builds a compact electric pickup with an 80.6 kWh LFP pack, a 207 hp front motor, and optional dual-motor 4WD. It claims WLTP 420 km in 2WD and 379 km in 4WD. It tows 1,800 kg and carries up to 500 kg in Europe. Prices start at €41,990 in Germany (about $49,500). In the Netherlands, trims span €43,990–€52,990 (about $51,900–$62,400). DC fast charging targets 10–80% in ~36 minutes. Equipment is work-friendly, not flashy.
Platform, powertrain, and battery
KGM bases the truck on a unibody architecture derived from the Torres EVX. That reduces weight and improves on-road comfort. It also sets the Musso EV apart from ladder-frame rivals.
The electric drive starts with a front motor rated at 152.2 kW (207 hp) and 339 Nm. A dual-motor 4WD setup is optional in many markets. KGM lists 0–100 km/h in 9.2 s (2WD) or 8.0 s (4WD). Top speed reaches 162–177 km/h, depending on drive. These figures cover daily work and highway duty.
The battery uses LFP chemistry. LFP improves cycle life and thermal stability. KGM also fits battery preconditioning to keep charging times consistent in cold weather. On-board AC charging is 11 kW. DC fast charging supports up to 120 kW, with a stated 10–80% in ~36 minutes.
Range, efficiency, and charging times
The WLTP numbers are straightforward. 2WD lists 420 km combined and 546 km city. 4WD lists 379 km combined and 466 km city. Those variations track with added weight and traction losses. Daily users should plan for lower motorway figures, as usual.
Charging summary
- AC 11 kW (0–100%): about 10 h 20 m.
- DC up to 120 kW (10–80%): about 36–46 m depending on site output.
- Portable charger (0–100%): about 28.5 h. Useful for rare cases.
Practical tech helps at job sites. V2L supplies 110/230V-style power for tools, fridges, or lights. The feature is available across trims. Pack capacity supports light site work during the day.
Payload, towing, and bed
KGM targets real work, not brag sheets. The towing capacity reaches 1,800 kg braked. Unbraked towing lists 750 kg. Maximum payload reaches ~500 kg in several EU specs. That aligns with the truck’s compact footprint and unibody base. The bed length is about 1.35 m. Users can configure tie-downs and accessories for daily tasks.
Key exterior dimensions matter for parking and job access. Length 5,160 mm, width 1,920 mm, height about 1,750 mm, wheelbase 3,150 mm. Ground clearance sits at 181 mm. The truck posts a 12.4 m turning circle. That helps in tight alleys and yards.
Trims, equipment, and safety
KGM sells Bronze, Platinum, Titanium, and Blackline trims. 2WD and 4WD are available. A heat pump comes standard on most trims. It can be added to the Bronze 2WD. Interior equipment spans a 12.3 inch instrument cluster and 12.3 inch infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and heated steering appear on upper trims. Around View Monitoring arrives on select grades.
Active safety is broad. You get AEBS, lane keeping, blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise, and fatigue detection. Front, side, curtain, center, and driver knee airbags are included. That coverage fits family and fleet duty.
Warranty package stands out. Battery: 10 years or 1,000,000 km. Vehicle: 7 years or 150,000 km. Corrosion: 6 years. Paint: 2 years. That reduces long-term risk for high-mileage users.
