Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

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.

Day-to-day, it's very nice. Charging at CCS chargers is very fast (though charging at Tesla is slower than some, 98kw). If you're not in a warm climate, be sure you get one with battery preconditioning (in '22, that meant getting an AWD model).

The GT (and I think GT-Line?) has a low ceiling due to the sunroof... we got the Wind+options due to tall family members.

The interior and exterior 120v outlets are really nice: I powered a freezer, fridge, window A/C unit and internet from it during an all-day power outage.

We are looking for the wind line for the extra capacity and they are cheaper. I'm tall but my wife is short so the height issue would just be for me.

I forgot about exterior 120 v outlets. That has some nice uses
