    One of the fun and thrilling things in the ownership of a GT is, that in the back of the head you always have to be aware, that if the motors are in full power - and even though all safety systems are engaged - the car wants to kill you if you’re an idiot. 😬😜👍😃

    Thank you for your honest review and opinion. Living in Australia, Kia has tuned the GT’s adaptive suspension for our roads. Driving it back to back with the GT-Line I couldn’t feel the ride quality being different and if anything the GT handled the short/sharp bumps better. I agree with the head rests, however found the ones in the GT-Line to be too forward (I’m the same height as you). Back space and seating for me had virtually no under thigh support due to the battery underneath. Luckily I won’t be spending anytime their. 👍😎

      Nice to hear about the tuning of the suspension. Do you drive one?

      @@ItsOnlyElectric Yes. I forgot to mention why the front seats lack head bolstering. As they are almost racing seats they naturally need to also be able to accommodate the front two wearing helmets. A simple solution (which I haven’t done yet) is to source some Velcro additional support padding for them. I’m sure you’d be able to find some in a similar colour combination so they don’t look cheap and nasty. Even living in Melbourne I don’t have a problem with the lack of range as I have solar power at work and home with the 11 kilowatt, 3 phase charging. Plus, if it’s over 6 hours of driving I generally fly instead. If not then we have almost enough fast charging stations in the right spots. Being quicker than most to charge is a massive positive for me. Daily driving seldom sees the battery drop below 70% so the GT button is always available.

    • @ItsOnlyElectric
      @ItsOnlyElectric  6 месяцев назад +1

      Nice! So the EV possibilities in Australia are really growing. Glad to hear that. 👍 The adding of padding would be something I would go for if I owned a GT.

      @@ItsOnlyElectric Just haven’t looked enough into the additional head rests. It is however on the list. Our EV charging network still needs improvements, especially considering the stats say buy 2025/6 50% of all new vehicles sold will be electric. Our governments know this, just aren’t keeping up as usual. 😂

    Can you provide insight on the NMC vs LFP battery chemistry please? Does KIA use NMC because it charges faster?

    • @ItsOnlyElectric
      @ItsOnlyElectric  4 месяца назад

      NMC offers faster charging, better cold weather management and has higher energy density (lighter) than LFP batteries. This is a generalisation and LFP batteries are catching up in many aspects.

    Sport mode doesn't give all the power. Only GT and My Mode (with sport+) has all power available.
    Sport mode gets you around 4.2s 0-100km/h, where the GT and My mode is around 3.5-3.7s 0-100km/h.

    • @ItsOnlyElectric
      @ItsOnlyElectric  8 месяцев назад +1

      I tested the acceleration in GT mode, but appears to have a "hidden" setting for activation of more power on top of GT mode

    Tycker bilen är fräck men tycker inte att priset motsvarar mot vad man får interiört när man jämför med konkurrenterna. För mycket pianolack o dyl, borde sänkas med minst 100k i pris.
    Vad tycker du om avsaknaden av vindrutetorkare bak är det något problem? Tänker speciellt vid vinter då det lätt blir smutsigt.

    • @ItsOnlyElectric
      @ItsOnlyElectric  8 месяцев назад +1

      Angående torkare bak så märkte jag inget under den veckan jag hade bilen, iofs hyfsat bra väder. Men lutningen på bakrutan är såpass horisontell att det inte borde behövas.
