Kia EV6 2023
Carsguide Senior Journalist Tom White had this to say at the time: I can’t responsibly afford an EV6 GT-Line, but I would definitely consider one if I could. Realistically, something smaller like the Niro EV or Hyundai Kona EV are more suited to my needs, but neither feel as special or are as deeply capable to drive as the EV6.

Check out real-world situations relating to the Kia EV6 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

How to charge a Kia EV6 (how long does it take, cost and where is the charging port)?
The Kia EV6's charging port is located at the rear of the vehicle, at the small panel located just below the right tail-light. There are three ways of charging the Hyundai Ioniq 6 – two at home methods, and one in public. It is recommended that owners of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 purchase a three-phase 11kW at-home wall charger box. These retail for anywhere from $800 to $2000, depending on the manufacturer and the power supply, with additional charges of 21 to 36 cents per kW, depending on your energy provider. Additional costs can be zero if you’re hooked up to a renewable source such as solar. All up, it will deliver a charge time of seven hours. Alternatively, owners can charge their Kia EV6 at home using a conventional 240V powerpoint which takes about 33 hours. A public charging station of 50kW will deliver a zero to 80 per cent charge in 1.6 hours, while a 350kW charger will see the time it takes drop to 18 minutes. Cost is dependent on location, whether it is a peak period or not, and what the charger’s capacity is, though as a general rule you should never pay more than $40 for a full charge.

How do you prove an EV battery capacity is below a certain percentage?
You could certainly have the vehicle’s battery packs tested for efficiency by an independent test centre. But why not keep that option up your sleeve and let the dealership test it initially? I would imagine the battery’s performance and efficiency test would involve a written report which is much more difficult to fudge than a verbal report. If the dealership can’t provide this written proof on the battery’s condition and you still believe you have a problem, that’s when you play the independent-test card.
