I had a Kia E Niro, I tried to buy an EV6, huge mark up, couldn’t get options I wanted. No tax rebate. Looked at a model y and walked out with a Y performance, totally happy, actually glad I couldn’t get the EV6. And I bought it after Elon lowered the price so the Tesla was actually lower priced.

Sure can take Kia MSRP and compare to Tesla, but the problem is that Kia dealer will add $10.000 market adjustment, then EV6 is not so cheap anymore.

Whilst the model Y is more sluggish than the EV6, I don’t necessarily think the Tesla is so behind in general. Long term, yes, Tesla will be overtaken by the larger innovation and rapid pace in China and even South Korea; but at least for right now Tesla has a good following that could hold out for several years.

There is an aspect that I want to point out. That is that many customers that have had good experiences with their cars will return to that car manufacturer. As these manufacturers present their EV’s and prove that they can compete in quality and price maybe the field will even put a bit. Thanks for these video series.

How a vehicle looks plays an important part in vehicle selection, somewhat like when one considers dating someone. The interior of the Tesla is very bland and the exterior is barely ok. My first EV was a model 3 because there was not much of a choice back then. For my next EV purchase I compared the model Y to the Mach E. I’m so glad I choose the Mach e. My model 3 has been relegated to being a spare vehicle. This example can be applied to the comparison between the Y and the EV6 as well

Thx for the comparison but one deception because I consider you as independent and wise to read marketing bs : automaker found as an argument to provide the speed of charge up to 80% but as ev drivers we know it is pointless: for me when I charge the car it is to drive miles and not %😊 How could it be relevant to compare charging speed between a 100 kwh battery and a 65 kwh one whilst we know that charging speed is a matter of Voltage, the Kia is built with 800v circuits?
@bwdz75
2 ай бұрын
The EV6 battery is 78KW (in most of the models, there is a smaller one available)and it is 800V. When hooked to a 400V DC charger it charges very quickly. Kia bypasses the ICCU when DC charging and it uses the solenoids in the rear motor to ramp up the voltage to 800 instead of having an additional unit.

Good video. Tried both cars in 2022 before buying a Ford Mach-e. The EV6 was nice but cramped in the front seat and entirely unusable in the back seat. (I'm 6'4" tall.) The MY had an absolutely HORRIBLE ride. It also does not have CarPlay or Android Auto. Also, I'd be very concerned with Hyundai/Kia quality. They need to get a few years of solid products out.

Numbers of chargers. They are paying for access to the much larger and consistently reliable network of chargers. Tesla is like Apple in that it built a complete system of car, charger and software. EA was essentially a punishment imposed on VW for diesel-gate. There simply aren’t enough of the CCS chargers. I also don’t think adopting NACS will be the panacea people are envisioning. Unless Tesla re-orients their stations many cars will occupy 2 stalls. I hope it works out. Anyway, 4 times across the country, 2000 free kWh of charging, cumulatively over 40 sessions and no big problems. I find it hard to believe my experience is the exception.

Wow, this video is just 5 minutes long, but the first point, which is "most important", is ridiculously wrong only 30 seconds in. The Tesla Model Y, which FULLY qualifies for the U.S. tax credit, starts at $36,490. Not $50k. And on top of that, the Tesla gets you 30 miles MORE range! So that makes the Tesla Model Y less than the Kia by over $7500. Oh and another mistake, the Model Y is not just the best selling EV in the world, it is the best selling passenger car OF ANY KIND in the world (gas or electric). And what are you blathering about - "Tax credit is harder to get"? It's exactly the same as always, but it gets MUCH easier starting in January because it will be an instant credit at purchase! I don't see any point in watching the rest of this video if you can't even get any of this information right. The Kia, in reality gets completely crushed. It's not even close. The Tesla is better, faster, lower cost, longer range, more automation, and better drivetrain quality with many Teslas showing they will go past 300k miles with ZERO maintenance to the drivetrain. Nice try. And before someone tells me that the Tesla is not faster, compare apples to apples. When you look at the least expensive Model Y (6.6s) and EV6 (8s), the Tesla is faster. How much did Kia pay you? Here is the actual Breakdown of the two least expensive trims: Tesla Model Y RWD/ Kia EV6 Light RWD Range: 260 miles / 232 miles 0-60: 6.6s / 8s Price: $36,490 / $43,925 Now there is a single trim on the Kia EV6 that beats the Tesla Model Y off the line. The Tesla Y Performance ($45k) does 0-60 in 3.5s (officially) and the Kia EV6 GT Line ($62k) does 0-60 in 3.4s (officially), however, in the real world, stock Tesla Model Ys have clocked in at 3.37s. So $16k more for a Kia that will still probably lose at the track to a Performance Model Y ? Sure. You can always count on the internet for your daily dose of garbage and lies.
