KIA EV6 is the first vehicle by KIA that was built on a designated electric platform. This means that it was designed as an EV unlike the KIA Niro EV, an electrified version of the Niro hybrid. This gives this car several advantages as an electric vehicle.
The manufacturer of EV6 claims that it charges faster than Tesla. KIA made this vehicle keeping the aim of making it fun to drive with a powerful battery of 77 kilowatt-hours which gives a range of over 482 kilometers. It is available in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions which provides 225 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It accelerates in 7 seconds from 0-100 Kmph. A superfast charger of 235 kW can charge it in a surprisingly less time of 18 minutes which is lesser than the charging time of Tesla. However, these kinds of super-fast chargers are not present in many locations in Australia.
This vehicle is easy to control as the system is simple, quick, and responsive. KIA EV6 has sleek looks and it has distinctive looks from other KIA models. The body structure is made such that even at higher speeds, there is very less wind and road noise. The interior is also stylish like other KIA models and has a 12.3 inches touchscreen for navigation, infotainment, and other purposes. It is a four-door EV that has seats for 5 passengers. The cabin is roomy with ample head and leg space with 24.4 cubic feet of cargo space with rear seats up and 50.4 cubic feet with rear seats down. So, overall, it does not compromise on space if we look in comparison to other competitive electric vehicles. There is also a very small storage space underhood which can be used to store the charging cord.
The safety features include seven airbags, an automatic emergency braking system, a blind-spot warning system, a rear-view camera system, active lane control, a high-beam assist system, and so on.
The manufacturer’s selling price range for EV6 is $40,900 – $55,900 which is competitive with other similar electric vehicles.
To sum up, this vehicle is incredible to look at and its features. It is thrilling to drive and has all the electric vehicle qualities with a decent price range.

The larger the capacity of the battery, the longer it will take to charge. This also applies to the level of depletion of the battery (e.g. an empty battery will take longer to fully charge than a half-full battery).
It is recommended to keep your EV battery charging status between 20-80% full. When charging outside of this range, it is known to cause charging to slow down.
Maximum charge rate of the EV compared to the Maximum rate of the ChargePoint:
The interplay between the maximum charge rate that an EV is able to consume and the maximum output a ChargePoint can supply is crucial in understanding charging times. If your EV has a maximum charge rate of 7kw and you are using a 22kw ChargePoint, your EV will not charge any faster than 7kw. Equally if your vehicle is able to consume a charge rate of 11kw, however you are using a 7kw ChargePoint your EV will charge at 7kw.Â
When charging an EV it has been found that colder external temperatures make the charging process slightly longer, as electricity flow is reduced. This consequence is more apparent through the use of Rapid chargers. However due to the generally warm Australian climate this isn’t an issue we are greatly affected by.
TCL (Trickle Charge Lead): These leads are primarily supplied with the vehicle at the time of sale. They are mainly used in PHEV Hybrid (Electric/Petrol) run vehicles and are not designed nor are they capable of fully charging the battery overnight.
