How efficient is the Kia EV6

On a 50 kW charger, the EV6 can add almost 170 km in 30 min. A Volvo XC40 Recharge will add only 100 km.

This car is really good. What a lot of people don't talk about is how efficient this car is. None of the other EVs in this size or price bracket is this efficient. And this matters!

Most of our highways are filled with 25kW chargers. The south now has many 50kW chargers too. On a 50kW charger, the EV6 can add almost 170km in 30 min. A Volvo XC40 will add only 100km. This greatly reduces charging stops. The EV6 can charge at 250kW but such chargers coming up on our highways is at least a couple of years away.

So, if you are on a 600km road trip with family, a single 40 min stop would suffice with an EV6 at a 50kW charger. On a Volvo, you would have to probably stop 3 times.

The one negative with the EV6 is the rear seat. The floor is extremely high and the comfort offered at this price point is not acceptable.

Good to know these points. I was considering an XC40 Recharge sometime in the near future. These tips / points help a lot.
