It's not every day you get to see a futuristic concept vehicle. The Kia PV5 WKNDR is an exciting glimpse into the possible future of rugged Kia SUVs for Chicago area adventurers. The PV5 WKNDR EV van sports solar panels and unique hydro turbine wheels that recharge the onboard batteries for a weekend of off-grid camping. Will we ever see it in production? Only time will tell.
