Kia EV6 AWD 77.4kWh 70-MPH Highway Range Test (Windy)

- Not every range test can be perfect but we do our best to keep the standardized! This one had 3 people, a large crosswind for the entire drive, and some very infrequent speeds under 70-mph. Even with all of these factors added up, we believe it should still be considered a solid range test in these conditions. We’ll of course have another full standardized test coming as soon as possible.
Enjoy this highway range test of the Kia EV6 Wind AWD 77.4kWh in Texas.

Great test - really appreciate it. This is the "real world" version of a range test. Most manufacturers will advertise you can get "up to xxx miles on a single charge," but that comes with a lot of asterisks: no AC, one person, no cruise control, no wind, 70º ambient temperature, etc.

Living in Texas, 230 miles from a fast charger, planning to by an Kia EV6. Truly appreciate this review!
So Ioniq 5 got a bit more range in same test but slightly different conditions, thats awesome to hear. I would love to see range test of the RWD versions of each. I am enjoying my RWD I5
Fun fact: The car can go into turtle mode under 5% when going up a steep incline. It scared me the first time it happened, but it goes away when the road levels out. They really don't trust people under 5%.
you'd get more range with less dead weight (passengers). But a realistic evaluation. very good range actually.
I'm not surprised it came up a little shorter than expected. Even though it's a North south wind, It Will still create quite a difference. I've tested this on my own car. I think it has to do with the wheel area catching more wind like the wheel well area and hubcaps. But I'm not a aerodynamic scientist so just my opinion. I think if you did it again on a calm day you would have a better result.
Head wind is the biggest battery drainer there is, and heavy wet roads. Not surprised you got those numbers.
I think the best part about these 100%-0% range tests is seeing how the vehicle responds when you near the end of the available charge.
Definitely in TX - I see a Whataburger! Cool to see this test in a different locale, Jordan.
I wish I could get EV6 interior with Ioniq 5 exterior
Finally a range test where we, the viewers, are told miles/kWh and not just total miles driven. As someone who currently drives a Chevy Volt (with its tiny 16kW battery) I know how huge of a difference it makes driving at highway speeds, or in the cold or in the wind. My efficiency can go as high as 6 miles/kWh in warm weather city driving to as low as 3 miles/kWh (or less) in cold or highway speeds.
pro tip: cross wind is constant pressure so it does not even out like a tail wind and head wind would! (uses more range) also 3 ppl in this test with sunny texas weather. awesome result!
Yeah I’ve been confused why neither tesla or EA has struck a deal with Buccees. There’s shopping, food, lots of clean restrooms, tons of parking and general convenience store stuff to do which most easily spend 20-30 mins in anyway
Oh man. I was getting very nervous too as the battery was draining lol
I was more of an Ionic 5 fan initially but the more I see the EV6 I think I like it more.
About what I’d expect. Not bad, not great.
I really like seeing these real world range test. This would be most cool for me here in Dallas....I have a tendency to drive on the F.M. roads mostly at speeds of 60-65.
I drove a first edition GT-line last weekend. Fun car! The fake engine sounds were annoying to me. I prefer my electrics to be quiet. You mentioned getting 3.0 mi/kWh. Would love to see a comparison chart of the cars you’ve done the 70mph range test on to see efficiency rankings.
Superchargers coming to Buc-ees
