A good honest review, and as a new owner of an EV6 GT-Line AWD, I agree on some points. I think the major point to emphasize about all EVs is, you really need to have a level 2 home charge station to maximize their practicality (one in a garage really helps) and efficiency. You also need to have realistic expectations about what they do good, and what they don't. They are excellent around the town daily drivers for a significant percentage of the population, but they aren't for everyone - at least at this point in time. ICE cars will continue to exist for many years, and in certain circumstances are more practical than EVs. For my Wife and I, the EV6 is an almost perfect choice that replaced a VW Golf Alltrack I had sold back in July 2021. It has plenty of space, AWD for Colorado winter driving, more than enough range for more than a weeks worth of daily driving, and a fun factor that I've never experienced in any vehicle I've owned (0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds really puts a smile on you face). For us, one EV and one ICE powered car (Acura RDX in our case) is a fantastic balance. However, when we sell the RDX, I'll likely replace it with a PHEV in order to get the best of both worlds.

Exceptional review, Cliff! Thanks for the honest assessment in cold weather. I was interested in what you thought of visibility out of the back window. Perhaps I missed it. If it was problematic, there would have been an emphasis on it in your summary. I'm glad it wasn't. Great job Kia. Now, really bowl us over with the GT!

In my country if we buy a solar pannel from government to house roof,the government dont charge for electricity,also they pay us money for each kwh s.so technically for ev6 , charging cost is zero ,saves a lot of money😁

Due to issues, Kia are no longer offering the EV6 GT Line in steel matt grey. I ordered in March and have just been informed that I need to chose a different colour or wait up to two years! I've chosen Runway Red instead, just hope KIA don't come back and say they've ran out of red because that would end up in a cancellation and a Tesla 3 😊

Expensive as an Model Y? In my country (Sweden), a Model Y costs (base trim, nothing added) = 730 000kr. The base trim EV6 (77,4kWh RWD) costs around 590 000kr. This is both without incentives. Even if you choose the EV6 GT-line (AWD, 77,4kWh) it's still below Model Y in cost (690 000kr). The prices can vary between markets, but saying it's the same price as Model Y sound not really fair. The EV6 GT however, might cost as much. But it's not on sale yet. Also, the cost of charging is up to the charge network provider to make. It's hard to blame the car for that... Not defending Kia or anything, it's just a facts.

Nice review up until you completely miss the parameters of what the fast charging is capable of doing in certain situations. You are charging and ice cold battery in winter at a fast charger and then complaining it took longer? Welcome to the world of physics. This same issue effects any and all EVs' even big daddy Tesla. What's next? you will act shocked that you get vastly reduced range in winter snow driving? Oh wait, you did that too. There's two possibilities here: this is your first ever EV and you have no clue about efficiency drops in cold weather, or it's willful ignorance as a hit piece. Either way it shows exactly how little research you do for your videos if you mislead people with your statements with no context about WHY these conditions exist. Again... winter/physics.

Powerful and sporty The Kia EV6 is a fully electric crossover that is capable of 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 161 mph. "And there's a clear winner... The Kia EV6. It drives the best, has the classiest cabin and the most advanced electronics, and is the most comfortable on broken B-roads or smooth motorways. It’s a striking looking car and shows the many upsides of EV ownership."
