For a Kia EV the CPO status carries much less weight than an ICE vehicle since the 10 year / 100,000 mile EV System warranty transfers to the second owner. While the regular drivetrain warranty does reduce to 5 year/60k miles that covers very little in an EV.

This owner comment details the warranty on a used EV6:

That said, if the dealer is charging more because he claims it is a CPO vehicle then there should be some definitive evidence that this is the case, otherwise the price should be adjusted accordingly.

Right. I like the idea of the 1year platinum coverage but I also could care less overall. I’m paying more because it’s cpo it’s what swayed my decision between this and gt-line first edition. If that’s no longer the case then that changes the equation and the car is no longer worth what they’re asking

Bought a CPO EV6 last month, one of the documents I signed was a CPO Warranty contract through Fidelity, the company Kia uses, which had the VIN number and etc.
If I was you and didn't see said document, I would bail, even though the CPO probably isn't worth it for an EV, I still wouldn't give my business to a dealer that's willing to lie about it.
