The PV5 uses an adaptable storage solution called Gear Head that can serve multiple functions, including an off-board, sheltered storage space for outdoor gear when the van is stationary. It can be powered by solar panels on top and by the hydro turbine wheels.

Kia also introduced the EV9 ADVNTR concept EV SUV at the event. This is an all-electric vehicle with a custom roof rack and a combination of tires and wheels designed for offroading.

The company did not provide any details about pricing or availability dates in the press release. Based on the limited information we have about Kia’s plans for PVB production, the modular WKNDR van probably won’t hit the roads (or charge off the roads) until some time next year at the earliest.
