Yeah, it looks like Hyundai/Kia came out with a winner with their new Niro EV. My friends bought one a few months ago and they love it. The added range of the new model makes it truly a useful car, and all of the amenities keep it competitive with other new cars in it's class. The only downside is that for now, the Niro EV is still in a rare group of affordable, long-range EVs which includes just the Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leaf, and Tesla Model 3. There are still a few plug-in hybrids like the Prius Prime and Honda Clarity that offer EV motoring without range concerns, but despite all the buzz in the press talking about upcoming BEVs from VW and Ford there are no new models out now to compete against Kia's impressive Niro EV. It is nice that Hyundai/Kia has committed their considerable engineering resources to design and build an industry leading car like this, and it is also good that the press is recognizing a job well done, and acknowledging that BEVs can compete with gasoline cars in terms of practicality and usable performance, without any excuses or special consideration for the EV technology.
