All about the 2022 electric Kia EV6

The EV6 is an electric vehicle first introduced by Kia in 2022, the first ever to be offered solely in an electric version (contrary to the Soul and the Niro that are also available in fuel or hybrid versions).

Kia EV6 Autonomy and Performance

This first version of the Kia vehicle made its competitors green with envy thanks to the autonomy it offers, which can reach up to 499 km on some of the models, which include an optional heat pump.

Depending on selected model, this electric Kia from 2022 comes with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, as well as a lithium-ion battery and front or rear motor, with different levels of power:

• Rear-wheel drive: 58.0 kWh battery, 125 kW rear motor;
• Rear-wheel drive: 77.4 kWh battery, 168 kW rear motor;
• All-wheel drive: 77.4 kWh battery, 74 kW front motor and 165 kW rear motor;
• All-wheel drive: 77.4 kWh battery, 160 kW front motor and 270 kW rear motor;

In addition, two GT versions, GT-LINE I and GT-LINE II, are available, offering a total output of 320 hp. The other models are rated at between 167 and 225 hp, depending on version and options.

Moreover, for what was the very first time in the history of the industry, we find a patented multiple port charging system, allowing for use on 800 V and 400 V fast charging stations, without separate connectors. This way, a 800 V quick charge allows the EV6 another 100 km autonomy in under 5 minutes, and 380 kilometers (80%) in less than 18 minutes.

Finally, a standard level 2 charge also allows you to reach full charge in only 7h10m, for all models equipped with the bigger battery.

Use your vehicle to charge your devices!

Acting in a way similar to a generator, the electric Kia EV6 –available in Canada as of 2022- can also be used as a charging station for your electric or electronic devices, as well as for another electric vehicle if needed.
