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.

I drive an Ioniq 6 that I got used as well and really like it. Also same engine etc. as in the EV 6, but has a higher efficiency. Thus, you'll have lower charging costs and can drive further distances per charge / less stops on longer trips.

I also had the ICCU issue that was mentioned here, but got it replaced without much trouble or wait time. Can't judge though if it's a permanent fix or if the inherent issue remains.

Same on all counts. They paid for the tow and the repair.

They did leave my 12v battery completely drained for a week in winter though, and then wouldn't replace it. So I expect that battery won't make it the normal 7 years before it needs to be replaced.
