My wife and I need to get another car and after test driving a few different EV vehicles we are thinking about getting the Kia EV6. Anyone have one that they love / hate? Anything we should know? This would be our first electric vehicle.

    For what it’s worth, my sister’s SO got a used Ioniq 5 and loves it. It’s a gorgeous car, and a steal used.

    Though nothing happened yet, they’re aware of the ICCU issue. But it’s also still on warranty, I suppose.

      I’ve heard nothing bad about the ioniq series. We liked the look and feel of the EV6 more

        Like others said, they’re basically the same car underneath. So it comes down to ergonomics and style; just personal preference, really.


        …With the exception of the highest end. The EV6 GT is more like a luxury crossover; think a tricked out Mercedes.

        But the Ioniq Ns are batshit crazy track cars. They are fast. As they point out here, it’s the only EV that can lap the Nurburgring without breaking down: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HZczpFsv9ZY

          Not that interested in the higher end sporter GT line (even though most of the used ones are that.). The range increases is worth the decrease in power.

          I do love that they are making track electric vehicles. Good to see they can go crazy fast. Good for electric vehicles image
