Very powerful and smooth, plus used the power outlet to power my fridge and lights when our power went out. Very cool.

Ev6 , don’t buy.

I have put 8000 miles on my Ev6 gt. I buy 2-3 cars a year, at first was impressed with the Ev6 now after 6 weeks in the shop getting ready to sell it once I get it back. The sound system which is very weak in these cars to begin with is the source of my problems. Sound system went out I insisted dealer install new amp they refused and replaced a speaker which was out and had smoke coming from it. They got the speaker after 5 weeks and now figured out it’s the amp the wait continues. Mean while the have me in a bare bones Sportage loaner car. I buy 2-3 cars a year and hold the manufacture to high standards the Ev6 does not pass at this point. Until Kia figures out the sound system issues don’t buy it. When the Amp goes it takes down other systems in the car. What a shame they spent so much money on the platform but skimped in other areas. Typical Kia nice car but spends a lot of time in the shop. Makes me wonder how many amps is this thing going to go through. Would think a Meridian class action law suit will be coming.

EV Buyers Beware

I purchased my 2022 EV-6 GT-Line AWD in May of 2022. It was red, sporty, quiet, and extremely fun to drive. I loved all the technology in the car, and everything seemed to work well. Now here is the hard truth that no one is telling you. The AWD model only has a maximum possible range of 274 miles, and that is only if it is sunny and 70 degrees and you keep your speeds below 70. If you drive fast, figure about 265 maximum miles range. Now that range is misleading, because Kia wants you to keep the battery between 20-80% charge most of the time, and only charge it up to 100% right before going on a long drive. So that means for daily driving, you charge it to 80% which gives you 212 miles range and you recharge at 20% which is 53 miles range, leaving you with a useable range of 159 miles. Now when we had a week of below freezing temperatures, the recommended range dropped down to 112 miles. I found through research that electric cars loose up to 40% range in extremely cold conditions. Now, here is the most annoying part. That $7,500 tax credit you were supposed to get for driving an EV...when you do your taxes, you will find that the credit just comes off what you owe the IRS up to $7,500. If you are getting a refund, you will get $0 tax credit. So if buying an EV and expect to use the tax credit, make sure you adjust your payroll deductions so that you will owe the IRS when it comes time to do your taxes, otherwise you will see no benefit from the EV tax credit. The EV tax credit is “non refundable” which means it will not add to your tax refund or provide you with a tax refund.

Federal Tax Credit Hunter worthy

I'm in the market for a second car that will give me federal tax credit. The best bang for the buck is Nissan Leaf, but I need a car that can be robust enough not only driving kids around town but also take us out of town without waiting too long for charging. After a lot of research, test drive, I decided to go with EV6 Light. I had the chance to test drive Ioniq 5, but I feel Ioniq 5 to be more "cheap" than the light. Did a little road trip, managed to stop by Electrify America to try their 350 KW charging station. Not all 350KW labeled stall will give you the max capability of your car. I used the 350 KW stall and got only 75KW in real life. The hype of 18 minutes charge to 80% will not happen to most people all the time. There were 4 stall charger, only ONE has the true 350 KW output, the rest isn't doing as labeled. If you are lucky enough to get the high speed charger stall, then you can charge as fast as advertised. I manage to do only two charge driving from Ohio to NY. One stop to fully charge from 10% to 100% while eating lunch then the rest was short pit stop just enough to get us to the hotel that offers EV charging in NJ over night. I wish I pay a little bit more for Wind RWD for more range and flexibility since the 10% range was a bit an anxiety stress for my wife, or even if we are in really true emergency during trip. I never looked at KIA, but with EV6 and its quality they put in the car, I will definitely look into their future releases. 10 year/100K miles on battery! This is an outstanding warranty! This doesn't mean that this car is worth more than MSRP! Please don't pay more than MSRP. If you want to pay more, look for TESLA. I drive model X myself, and supercharger network helps a lot in real life. If the Feds won't offer $7,500 reduction in taxes incentives, I will not pick KIA. I'd rather buy a TESLA. 5 stars for KIA and I look forward to buy more from them in the future.
