Service is garbage

Car is pretty good but service is garbage in the dmv. Very few techs know how to work on it and dealerships that have techs won’t service for weeks. 3900 miles in I received a critical battery management system failure. No way to contact corporate and local dealerships won’t do anything. They are even trying to find a way out of honoring warranty. Get a Tesla instead or anything else. They will at least service your vehicle.

Good. Could have been great.

2023 Kia EV6 Wind 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

2023 Wind AWD. Drives really well. Sport mode acceleration is ridiculous so I keep it on ECO. The interior dimensions and room are great. Much larger vehicle than it looks from the outside. Rear legroom is particularly spacious, even with a long legged driver in front. Seats are comfy but nothing like Volvo’s awesome seats. Biggest complaint is the tech interface and setup. Way too much complicated detail in the SW controls and setup. Could have made it simpler and cleaner. Hope they do an overhaul and OTA update to improve it but I doubt it. Overall happy with the vehicle though it is expensive. With some minor improvements it could be great.

Love my Kia EV6 wind. I pend maybe $20 a month charging it at home and the electric company gives me a $10 dollar discount monthly. Love the way it drives and the mileage range.

I’ve been electrified!

The EV6 Wind was my purchase decision after test drive comparison of a Tesla 3 and Kia EV6. The Ev6 design has done an excellent job of transitioning ICE users to EV panels in the control section. The combination of touch screen with touch button panels created a less stressful change than a “tablet”. The two 12” flat screens offer all the needed views with minimal tab changes while driving. The distance on full charge is very good and convenience of available AC electric allows for using electric for outdoor activities wherever we are. Personally I felt the steering whew angle was odd and it took time for me to adjust it to where I was comfortable And could also see all of the front view screen display. The horsepower is amazing and available on demand in sport mode while the eco mode allows me to lengthen my miles per KW hour. By the way; comparing my energy cost to my previously owned hybrid that I only used premium gasoline in, about .15 cents a mile in my hybrid and in my areas kw cost, I spend .05 cents a mile to drive the EV6. If you get an electric car, be certain it has the amenities you want. The packages are all over the place in my experience. While the EV6 GT-line comes with everything you probably want, the EV6 Wind package varies by dealer. My thoughts are: if you are getting an EV, you will want a type 2 charger at home. You will want that charger stored in the garage, so why would anyone sell an EV that doesn’t have a Homelink garage door opener?!! The cargo space plentiful and the ride is pleasant.

Still going strong at 25,000 miles

I was elated when I was able to buy my KIA EV6 for list price in May 2022 - dealers were applying surcharges of $5-10k at the time; moreover, I was thankful to be able to take $7500 off my taxes - which is no longer possible. I now see that Kia dealers are reducing prices to sometimes thousands below MSRP. This compensates somewhat for the lack of the $7500 tax credit. But am I happy with what I got? Would I be just another early adopter blinded by my desire for something new and more environmentally friendly? I drove the car from Maryland to California that first summer, not knowing exactly what to expect. Would the Electrify America charging stations work? Would I be stuck in the middle of nowhere? As it turns out, the worse never happened. I used A Better Route Planner that got me to EA sites without problems other than some occasional long waits for the one or two chargers that worked. I found out that the car did charge quickly - much faster than the ID4s or Mache-Es that I saw along the way. Faster forward to December 2023. I now have nearly 25,000 miles on the car. Has anything gone wrong? I did have a problem when I bought it with the radio amplifier - that was fixed within a month of purchase. Since then...nothing has gone wrong. Some EV6 owners have reported problems with the ICCU - causing serious problems on the road. Never happened to me. Is the car still an incredibly fast (AWD) silent and smooth vehicle - absolutely. Does 99% of my charging occur at home on my Level 2 charger: yes. Do I worry about finding charging stations on occasional road trips - I reduce anxiety through more careful planning, but it isn't often and I really don't mind, e.g., checking the EA app for the operational status of stations along the way. Do I wish that somethings were different - yes: *The radio/amplifier system is without much bass. I get better sound in my 2017 I3. The subwoofer does nothing. Kia should be embarrassed to put it in such an otherwise amazing car. *The navigation system leaves much to be desired. It will not dynamically route to EA or fast charging stations when on a trip. You cannot precondition the battery unless you use the internal system! It is where the gap between Tesla and Kia is profound. I wish there was a way of using Android Auto such that it would get information from the vehicle and direct drivers as needed. *A licensing agreement between the provider of the less than sterling navigation system and Kia has prevented the latter from incorporating wireless Android Auto (or Carplay). Whomever negotiated this deal should look for another job. Even cheap Kia Souls have wireless AA. Find new lawyers and get out from this devil's compromise. *The controls for all internal functions from AC to electric seats are less than ideal. I find myself turning on, e.g., ventilated seats when toying with the AC controls, by mistake. Everyone knows that this is a blunder by Kia which hopefully it will correct in the future (on the other hand, the car DOES have direct controls for lots of elements, unlike Tesla which buries everything within its do everything screen). *Would it be nice to have over-the-air updates rather than having to go to dealers - yes it would. Kia has many miles to go in this regard. The only electronics that can be updated are the infotainment system - and that is a big hassle that has involved SD cards. A joke. Easier just to let the dealer do it. *NACs vs. CCS - Anyone who has followed this transition knows that Hyundai/Kia 800 volt system is poorly compatible with Tesla chargers (perhaps other than the very rare V4 model). Obviously, the receptacle is CCS - one limit requiring an adopter for most Tesla chargers - slow charging is the other problem. With the industry going to the NAC standard, there is a feeling among early adopters of being abandoned on the bed of CCS - will Kia do anything to help us make better use of Tesla's charging system? I can imagine that much of the much ballyhooed "slow demand" for EVs is attributable to "charging system anxiety" - with potential buyers waiting for the next year conversion to NACs for many manufacturers. Ignorant dealers who make more money on ICE sales certainly contribute to this as well - creating anxiety to spur short-term pro-ICE thinking by buyers otherwise intrigued by EVs and worried about climate change. Overall, I would buy the car again, even with the shortcomings noted above. The ease of home charging is one big factor (multiply the many hours that home charging has saved from trips to gas stations over the years and you will see that occasional waits on road trips are still much less time in total than the averted trips to gas stations). The driving characteristics of the vehicle itself are the second major reason for considering the car. It isn't cheap, but an equivalent ICE car wouldn't be either. Its style is still very unique. It has an operational sunroof, not just a big glass panel (heating up the car in summer). It has lots of controls for the amount of regenerative braking which has come in handy in snow. It has virtually zero maintenance costs (other the tire rotations and cabin filters). My first set of tires are still going strong. Its warranty is still the best in the business with its five year bumper-to-bumper and ten year powertrain limits. There is a comprehensive dealer network - whose familiarity with EVs is growing. Try to find a good deal on the car and you won't be disappointed. Kia/Hyundai would do themselves a big favor by being clear about how and when the NAC transition will occur. Some of the changes mentioned above would further increase the desirability of the EV6. But I still think it is a great car at a decent price (for what it offers)...
