Great test and spectacular SUV. Can't believe we're now at the point on the timeline where Kyle isn't that happy with sustained 15 minutes at 200kW charging on a Kia. Times are wild.
Especially in the cold where I could see his breath.
Especially at the lowest price in the segment with best charging speeds.
thats very cool bythe way
prg prtthy iwe,,,,by bh b
i like that car so you know
More energy added in 15 min than Lucid Air and nearly as much as Taycan. What a beast! I want to road trip one of these.
Kia is promising vehicle, but these need more range to be competitive road trippers where many of us want to be able to efficiently travel. I frequently cross areas of the west, where fast chargers are still quite spread out, even on interstates.
I used A Better Route Planner app to see how the EV9 does on many routes I frequently travel. Rivians and Teslas still beat the LR AWD EV9 by significant margin, apparently due to their longer range. See example below.
An often overlooked benefit of longer range is faster charging, and frequently significantly faster.
When you need to “fast charge” above 60% or more, all EV charging speeds get significantly slower to protect the battery from excess heat. Longer range EVs greatly reduce the need to charge near the max capacity of the battery. For those long legs between chargers, that are still common in many areas, longer range EV’s can do them changing to a lower percentage so they keep charging speeds faster.
Throw in some cold weather, wind and precip and it gets even more important to have the big battery.
ABRP Estimates: Flagstaff - Vegas - Flagstaff
R1S Quad Large Pack 20”: 8h32m
Model X LR 20”: 8h34m
Kia EV9 LR AWD: 10h4m
(10% arrivals, seasonal weather January, 300 pounds extra weight, 55° battery temp. 100% speed. 1% battery degradation)
thats need so you know
thats c9l bythe wah i see whatyou seesthatstlod make saion soyou know
@@e2dub When I put model X I got 10:35, for R1S 10:06 and for EV9 9:59. Different conditions than you put (like no extra weight, 90 % arrivals and other stuff) but same condition for every car. Pretty sure you have to made some mistake there, I cannot imagine any condition that would make EV9 worse but the other two cars so much better.
@e2dub that is not true that all EVs get slower charging after 60%! The e-tron stays at 149Kw all the way to 80%. The EV9, when I charged 10% to 80% the other day stayed at 201Kw all the way to 78% then dropped to 195kw by the timeit hit 80%. This was on a mild day in Northern Georgia.
Impressive result! I can not state enough how much I appreciate this test. By far the most road tripping relevant EV test out there.
I agree, in the US, the 10% challenge is the most relevant EV test.
There is one other that is also a good and relevant test. Bjørn Nyland's 1,000 km Challenge is also a very useful test for comparison of EV models.
Bjørn is based in Norway and sometimes Thailand. So he doesn't have all the same models to test.
We test drove this one about two weeks ago and my wife is ALL in and sold on this for her first EV. Spectacular vehicle and your videos have me even more ready for it, but we want to wait till closer to 2025 and it getting access to the Tesla network. Very impressive vehicle and she thought she’d never trade in her Pallisade.
I'm here for the EV9 content 😁😁
Kyle....you are the man. This is the PERFECT roadtrip test for EV power-users who actually know how to drive an EV. 10% + 12-15 minutes of charging is my gold standard in my LR RWD Model 3. If I look at all of my charging sessions on road trips, it's almost always 12-15 minutes with a rare 20 minute session if there is a bigger gap between chargers. This just shows that you are a true expert and understand EVs.
thats cool by tye way
That's because the Tesla charging curve is meh at best. You gotta be deep in the pack for any decent speed and it tapers off way too fast.
Manual preconditioning and down to 10% is awesome. The preconditioning method used in Ionic5 and 6 is cumbersome and annoying
Dear Kia, if you see this, please give us some kind of dog mode. That's the only major downside I can see for myself since I have a service animal that goes with me everywhere. Awesome video Kyle, you're killing it with these reviews. Have a awesome New Year!
Just leave the thing on. Easy enough. Certainly not a downside.
The car comes with Utility Mode, it's like Dog Mode and Camping Mode combined!
Good job they didn't call it Dogging Mode....
@@spazzman90 You're right, I shouldn't call it a down side, but it would be nice to have a setup that will notify me if for some reason the air turns off, or there is a issue like Rivian does. Where I live, it can get to 120 degrees in the summer, so I would rather be cautious. Other than that, I got to drive one of these yesterday, and I love it.
Thank you, this series was very informative. 260miles on a 100% charge, driving at 70mph. Driving it at 80mph you used 47% for a distance of 94miles - so you would get approx.200miles on a 100% SOC.
This is the definitive source for independent EV testing. Would love a separate video where you go through the OBD II app and explain all the parameters and how they apply to EV charging performance and efficiency. Happy New Year!
What app are you using with the OBD dongle
10% challenge highly relevant for many people, thanks for doing it!
Great that the test results are going to be made easily available and comparable, thank you!
This one of the best looking SUVs out there imo... Great vid
This is my favorite test. As we do a few road trips a year, this test is very useful.
Thank You for mentioning Celsius. Everybody outside the US, Belize, Bahama and Cayman thanks You.
Excellent format.
Hurray Kyle hit continue!
Love the 10% challenge! EV9 beat my expectations. Can you please make sure to repeat the results in the wrap up at the end? thanks!
And add the Google spreadsheet back!
@@pine111 For real. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_jw_Q1ikuE93fZjRZyx0k868cyrWuiqN4ynb0uv79I8/edit#gid=0
Great test. Thanks.
great and REAL case test! thx
Kyle, I'd love to see the 10% challenge on my 2018 LR RWD. That thing is a road tripping monster.
Kia EV9 rugged and good looking at the same time, inside and out!
Kyle, you should ask KIA give you a 2024 Niro wave to do these tests too, so you have the level entry and the expensive one. I know you did the Niro review one year ago in California, I believe. Just an idea.
EV9 is the best looking SUV IMO, be it EV or ICE car. Your videos are excellent! Thanks a lot
Love this channel!
what was the obd that you used? and the app please
Hi Kyle! How much better is HDA2 vs HDA? Is it even more confident in lane and around curves on the freeway? Is it worth upgrading to HDA2 if one already has HDA? Thanks!
thanks for the video, this is exactly what we need. Kyle, do any EVs allow you to pre-heat battery manually, and then it holds the temp for a certain amount of time? Otherwise you have to "guess" when to start heating, based on your gestalt of the outdoor temperature, miles remaining to charger, etc. thanks again.
Great video. What are your thoughts about out the lack of reliable DC fast chargers? In Canada (Ontario) along the 401 corridor the only reliable network is Electrify Canada. Ivy and Petro Canada never deliver the stated speed they claim which makes reliable road tripping difficult.
I think instead of maintaining the temperature for the manual preconditioning, it should just tell you an estimation of how much time it'll take to be at a good temperature, so you can time it perfectly
No fair! I can't test my X in 28F here in Florida! I did get 119 miles in a summer 10% test, though.
This kind of stuff makes me happy that the speed limits in my area are 60mph. While people are regularly going 70+, as long as you stick to the right lane, you can do 60mph safely and get so much more range. I've only had my EV9 for a couple weeks, but I think the fastest I've gone in it so far is 70mph. At 60mph should be able to beat the EPA estimates easily, seeing considerably over 300 miles in the GT-Line.
this is what i wanted to know. i live in an urban area, and i don't get to go faster than 60-65 very often, and when i do it usually isn't for more than 10-15 minutes.
Would love to see you do 10% with an EV6! I feel like the EV6 has been forgotten with all the hype for new EVs but it is still a great car (and a great deal used!)
Ev6 was too overpriced for what it was. There are other ev’s that do better than it and can be easily replaced. It has better efficiency storage space range tech etc.
Great to see the Kia perform well. Still hoping to see a Lyriq AWD 0-100% charging test and 10% challenge. Hoping that comes in soon!
Came for the EV9, went home a happy man.
Great to see another EV for larger families in the market. Hopefully the batteries end up being reliable and we see them in the used market in good shape.
I love this test. Much better to have real world results.
Do you have all the test on a Google sheet or something to see all the test you have done?
Can you guys continuously post the spreadsheet with other tests in the descriptions?
I agree. It is a very helpful tool but they haven’t updated it or put it in the description of 10% challenge videos for a while now, I really would love it for them to bring it back.
It would be nice to know how easy it was to get the small climate control screen fixed.
I excited to hear the news video
3:16 “no lights as pretty as those though.. Texas Roadhouse” 😂😂 I genuinely lol’ed
Will Kia retrofit NACS adapter when they start using it. Just curious.
Mach e, about 460 miles travel with elevations going from NYc to Port Clinton OH.
We land at the chargers with 15-20%. We spend about 40-50 minutes to push to 95-97% to get to the next stop
Bummer
What what an amazing car, it’s almost exactly what my family needs. Now to wait for a NACS port and 5-7 years for it to depreciate a bit.
Will you do this type of testing/range test with the brand new Kona EV 2024? I'd like to see that!
How hard is it to put the link to the Google spreadsheet showing the other 10% challenge results in the Description area?
What happened to the spreadsheet for the 10% challenge? It hasn’t been updated or put in the description for a while now. Can you please put it back and update it with all the 10% challenges you’ve done? It was a very helpful tool.
what's link for OBD battery monitor app ?
Would be cool if that small climate screen had all your nerd battery usage and all the info there
So when fast charging (10 to 80%) on a road trip scenario, what is the cost per mile?
Maybe it’s the camera, but that head lamp pattern looks great.
Which app are you using to watch all the vehicle parameters?
When you do the full charging test could you do a comparison between a 350kw rated stall and a 150kw rated stall?
Can we assume when ambient temperature is near 70 degrees, range increases by 8-12 miles?
When will the NACS to CCS1 adapter be available, so the EV9 can charge at all Supercharger locations even without Magic Dock?
A button to preconditioning the battery even at 10% state of charge! I want that Hyundai!
If the HVAC system works anything like the eNiro, the battery heat will most likely be transferred into the cabin for heating, using the heat pump.
Have you tested charging on a 400V charger? I’m really curious how high the charge rate will go when it steps up the voltage.
Don't think its much, but then again its cold: did Kyle precondition the car too early? so preconditioning twice burns a bit more energy? On my Ioniq 5, normally it preconditions about 15 minutes or so (maybe 20?) before I reach the charger? Not a huge impact on range, but it does impact range. Though saves TONS fo time!
Can you get ev9 with chargeport in the Tesla side? When realistic roadtripping people use superchargers.
Does the EV6 allow to activate battery preconditioning without using maps (similar to EV9) .
Every EV should have a 10% test. This is about the most important test for road tripping
Just curious.... Have you done a video/tutorial on the OBD adapter? I'd sure be intereseted in knowing what all of that data means! Thanks for sharing. G
What app is that?
@@michaelm.wiseman282 It's the app I've seen folks use in conjunction with an adapter to plug in the vehicle's OBD diagnostic port. Kyle on Out of Spec often uses one.
What’s the app you use to read the SOC data?
Do the blazer ev review please.
Rivian is now offering the max battery?
Interesting how quickly that battery cools down while driving. My Rivian, after DC charging, stays in the 90°F range (in the menu). Do you see the same in your earlier VIN R1T?
The Kia and Hyundai vehicles have heat pumps with heat scavenging, similar to modern Teslas. The HVAC system will tap into battery heat for cabin heating....the EV9 has a large cabin to condition.
i'm still watching!!!!!!!!! :)
I would love if we could get a chart comparing charge rate with all of the BEVs you guys have tested.
I've seen charts that show percent vs time, but these charts fail to take into account efficiency/how many miles you get with that percent.
A better chart could show MILES vs TIME SPENT CHARGING. Starting at 10% charge.
Starting at 10%:
Time Charging on the x-axis
Miles on the y-axis
This might be buried in the comments but what OBD scanner is being used to get the data and stats on the car while performing the tests?
You should do Race to Vegas in SUVs this year. Especially since you have the Model X.
Did this test happen for ev6 and ionic 5?
Gotta do the Ioniq5 now!
Wish they would update my Kia ev6 with manual preconditioning. Not all chargers are listed in their nav system
just navigate to ANY DC charger (and do real navigation on your phone)
Is there an excel file with all the test results?
We can’t wait to see where our EV9-owners take their first roadtrip to! 🚙
I would love to see these tests done at 20min instead of 15 as its probably closer to real world road trips. I normally stop after about 2h which would be closer to 140 miles
Might be a dumb question, but can I use my Tesla wall charger to charge this Kia?
20:20 I am a subscriber from S. Korea, recently owned EV9 GT-line, leaving comments about rear suspension. As far as I know, all EV9s are equipped self-leveling conventional coil spring, not air suspension.
I just wonder there a difference in suspension for US export EV9s. If it is, Korean EV9 owners may upset and eager to equip in aftermarket lol
Is the rear swivel seat mount available in Korea.
@@michaelm.wiseman282Yes it is. Swiveling is not recommended while driving. It may be useful while parking (by the sea or somewhere with nice view 👍)
Here’s hoping the 10% limit and manual preconditioning button comes to the other egmp cars.
I was never a fan of 3-row suvs, but they’re becoming more and more appealing to me (occasional need to transport 5 big people, plus I also camp in the car) but this is unfortunately about $20k out of my budget.
Odd that they’ve wired the battery in such a way that it reduced the battery voltage on the big battery. It would have been nice if they maintained the same battery voltage as the other egmp batteries (mostly in the 700v range). Seems like this one also runs a bit hotter than the other egmp cars, I only see 47c on my ioniq5 on hot summer days, even though it charges faster and has a smaller battery.
thanks for sharing this test! i find it difficult to understand why we are calling it a great road trip vehicle though. at 2 miles per kW (and 40c per kW of charging at the stations you used) this Kia’s equivalent MPG is ~14 which is terrible at best. For example, for a gallon of regular gas ($2.80) you can buy 7 kWs which will last for 14 miles. I love the design and roominess but given the limited availability of charging stations and expensive kWs, any ICE vehicle will outperform this baby.
80 MPH though, with temperatures below 30F and required preconditioning for the following stop. From what I see online, the gas Telluride will achieve 20-21MPG at those speeds, probably less below 30F with denser air. Sure, the slightest edge at 80, on a road trip, will go towards the Telluride, but falling back onto daily use, in the city, while charging at home, costs of refueling will favor the EV9.
Of course, no one considering an EV9 would realistically consider a Telluride, given the upfront costs, unless they were comparing it to a 3 row Volvo, Audi, BMW etc.
@@wzDH106 i agree but that’s why i wouldn’t call it a great road tripping vehicle - daily use in city/charging at home is something completely different - perhaps we should be calling it a great looking, spacious 3-row electric vehicle around town.
Do you chart these results anywhere?
Edit: you answered the question at the end of the video.
Are those purple interior lights aftermarket ?
No it's part of the car, you can change the colour
Hopefully the EV6 will get the 10% capability and manual option for preconditioning.
Mention price of car for data and epa rated. So we can compare easily what we are getting into
what color is the car in this video?
I said it before & I’ll say it again. This is real interesting stuff. It’s very informative & good information to know about. However whenever you do a test & try to have the most ideal conditions it’s NOT real world, it’s not a real world application nor is a more realistic test. This is a test that is as clinical as possible without being on a closed loop. This is closer to being an alpha test rather than beta test which is something that’s put out in the real world for everyday use in actual real conditions.
You need a new test. No driver is going to un plug before the charging rate slows down. My car has a full speed rate, then a 25% lower rate and I let it charge all through that level, and then I disconnect when the next speed break starts at about 50% speed
Depending by wind . Pendence of road...temp...etc...information are for ideal situations with no wind. Pendence..temp. 25 celsus..etc..
Kyle please could
you do a towing comparison with your dad's Tesla your e-tron and the Kia EV 9
If the GT line is the only model that gets the meridian sound system and the others can’t have it as an option that would be a killer for me.
I really enjoy your videos but I was super disappointed when you guys were all taken off the podcast… I know it’s been a while and I’ve tried to listen but they don’t have the chemistry and enjoyment that you guys had/brought… sorry to rant just wanted to let you know you are missed!!
Keep up the incredible work!!👍
All right. I wanted to see how the EV9 does in the “15-minute-charge challenge.”
Only 10 % of the cars master this test 😅
When this gets native supercharger network access it will be the car
So you have to recharge every 100miles If you 10% charge for only 15m
Dealers here in Virginia are receiving the EV9. I just saw one dealer near me advertising an EV9 for $20,000 over sticker!
Don't fall for it. It seems people are ordering them and walking away without purchasing even with a deposit loss. Don't know why?
I test drove and kinda liked it. But their are no incentives. Just $7,500 off a lease. So around $900 per month with $3,200 down. Also, some dealers are asking MSRP. No heat pump in the two lowest models. No bench seat in the base extended battery model. Reminded me of a cargo van with the 2nd row captins chairs. Prefer the bench seat in 2nd row.
jeez! in NC they are going 10k under!
Will be interesting to see what 2024 brings. Why buy an ev with only ccs port when nacs is around the corner? Adapter doesn't seem to matter given most Tesla chargers will still have the short cord issue. CCS cars taking up more than 1 space in 2024 will be interesting to say the least.
this car with these voltages cannot use current TSCh network anyway, no matter the plug
I still think it’s a shame KIA wasn’t able to bring over the swivel second row captains chairs. Think that would just be epic on road trips.
Someone find out if the KDM models with that can be purchased and installed into our market vehicles. Would be a super cool mod!
So, right now the competitors for this car (and I'm talking 6-7 passenger 3-row SUVs) are the Rivian R1S, Tesla Model X( don't say Y, that's a toddler seat), Mercedez Benz EQS SUV & EQB, and is the Fisker 3 row? Not sure... Oh, and the EX90 if that one is out yet. Did I miss any?
An hour to charge is completely acceptable for me. No worse than my cell phone.
