I have my EV6 GT line about 1 1/2 years. Doing about 35000km or nearly 20.000 miles a year. And i like it, i will keep it. It is my 3rd EV and first did all i want it to do. Including Roadtrips to Austrira, Netherlands, Denmark, Luxenburg. All fine. Range not very good but ok, because it charges so fast, so range is not so importand.
Took delivery of my 2022 Tesla Model Y Performance in February 2022. I have over 50,000 miles on it and I work from home! I have only purchased 2 gallons of windshield wiper fluid. No other maintenance, I still have the original Michelin pilot sport tires.
Nice seeing Emad and Jordan together again. Your road trip is what brought me into the Out of Spec World when I was trying to buy an EV6 two years ago. Ended up getting a used M3P due to crazy dealer markups in my area at the time. Happy how things turned out and you guys have a happy subscriber to many of your channels.
i have EV6 2022 AWD tech July manufactured. I haven't had a single issue with 12v battery... and I hope we keep it that way. I'm sure it will eventually kinda die off as these cars have demanding cycles with the 12v. We shall see.. I had more issues with 12v batteries with my past ICE cars TBH.
I saw a few used EV6 GT or even new now heavily discounted around 49K with all the dealer discounts and special offers... I wish I could jump on that.
I do too! The performance is still astounding.
I almost made it two years in my love affair with my EV6 WIND AWD Tech and then the ICCU went out and I waited 9 weeks for KIA to diagnose and then finally get the part. That entire time I bitched and moaned to my wife how i was going to trade it in as soon as I got it back and buy the new model 3. Now that I finally have it back, I'm in love again, but praying everyday that it lasts.
When I get the itch to trade, I drive it and realize how easy it is to drive and to just get in and go so then I'm like I'll just keep it
In ten years there will be battery technology solutions that will resolve any susposed concerns
Just subscribed to Emad's channel.
Thank you! working on my own 2 year video. Almost wrapped up!
After 3 months of ownership, I sold my 2022 Kia EV6 GT-line because I wanted an EV with more rear seat space. I had no problems with my Kia EV6 GT-line. I love the car. Currently, I own a 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Sport 3 AWD. Love it!
Those lyriqs are lookers. I double take every time I see one.
I have a 2022 EV6. I love many things with this car but I want to write about the only thing that I hate. We were lied to about OTA updates .When OTAs finally started, they only applied to the infotainment system (maps and music).Since owning the car, there has been several NTSB software 😂recalls, which is expected with cars but I had to go to the dealership for these updates, which included updates to break lights responding to iPedal driving for example. I had to go to the dealership for software update to allow battery preconditioning (which requires waiting weeks for an appt and then leaving your car there all day). Kia says now that they will never allow safety software updates via OTA but are considering it with future models. I wouldn’t believe them anymore until it happens. The lack of NTSB safety OTA updates is a deal breaker for me recommending this car.
Emadcast. Love that.
Another lover of both ICE and EV. My 9yo supercharged V8 with 140,000km, plenty at the track needed a break. EV6 GT-Line has taken on daily drive duties, with the V8 now just occasional trips and track days. I utterly enjoy driving both cars.
I do find the comment about EVs using tyres faster than ICE cars some what wrong headed. Sure my EV6 may wear tyres faster that a camry, but no where near as fast as the V8. You need to remember these EVs are doing 0-100km (0-60mi) in 4 or 5 seconds, you need to compare tyre wear against similarly performing vehicles.
Good podcast, and I'm tempted to get an EV6 or the Ioniq6 when my wifes' BYD Atto3 needs replacing. The government gave me $6,000 to buy the cheaper BYD and nothing if I bought those Koreans, which I would have preferred. Next time there's no incentive to concider.
Francie, how is the Lady Springroll doing?
Jordans hat bills are growing
.. and the hats...
1000 miles over two days is crazy!!!!
Why? The tesla semi using slip seating for Pepsi does 1,000+miles in 24hrs ALL the time per the run on less event data they released in 2023.
Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤
Wonderful car...Thanks for the nice video. I replaced my 12 volt battery after about 6 months with an AGM.... Over a year later and no problems. I have the piece of junk 12 volt battery that came with the car sitting in my garage waiting for Kia to recall them.....That might never happen I know...lol
Same here. The AGM battery is more tolerant to being deeply discharged than the OEM. Cheap insurance, imo. AGM battery should be the first "mod" on the EV6.
21:00 Emad, use Utility Mode on the Ioniq for outlets. That's what it is for.
Charging at home is a little trickier with one level 2 charger and 2 EVs. So far so good for us, but I can see issues at some point. I may have to put our NEMA-15P connector in service at some point.
I have never looked under the hood of my 2023 euv, I just thought the 12-volt battery can be replaced at Costco.
The ICCU/12 volt issue is happening to the Ioniq 5’s too. It’s all over the forums. It appears that they may have fixed it in the ‘24’s.
12:30 - TRANSLATION: Emad's buying an EV9 (watch this space).
Hey now, I did state that I may consider it when it tanks in value haha
My Chevy Impala 12V died after 1 year. My husband is an electrician and he says 12V batteries are made crappy now. Planned obsolescence.
exactly, it's simply a crap battery sourced from the lowest bidder in order to save costs. it's the answer we already know. yeah so "come of the dime" and replace it with a high quality aftermarket battery of the proper type and rating and the problems will disappear. also remember what should NOT be fitted are your typical high CCA batteries that go into ICE vehicles, those batteries are designed to intermittently turn starters, and a starter is exactly what you DON'T have in an EV. for better or worse EV's are indeed fancy Golf Carts.
19:00 What's hard about changing a 12V battery? Am I missing something? I've done it in ICE cars for 35 years and on my Hyundai 6, the ICE battery is right there- made to be changed out or jumped.
you can get the Gt for 40k used, they plummeted
I know. Pretty awesome. For people looking now. Not those who bought for 60k+
What about the latest recall issue?
31:00 Whether a car is good-looking is in the eye of the beholder (subjective).
With the 12V issue have people tried to increase the size? I had an Outback that constantly had a dead 12v for no reason. Increased the size and never had an issue again.
I have a 2011 MB SLK350 that has to have the battery charged every week. I have been to four Auto Electricians over four years and all say they can find no drain. The last one said all it needs is a quality, powerful battery, so I got it and it was dead flat in ten days. Is there anyone in the world who understands what's going on?
Ouch, $350 for a 12V battery.
Thanks for the update, Emad is so correct the dealer sales/service model is so very broken in most cities. Kia/Hyundai/Genesis with virtually no useful OTA updates, and design flaws like the 12v & ICCU issues. GM & Ford don’t have qualified techs to work on EV’s and untrained people selling them (or not).
In Europe is the exact opposite, the Kia dealers and service is pretty great (depends also on region)
Based on the latest info from the Ioniq Guy - the 2025 models should be more like the 24 EV9 and get OTA updates!
No clue why anyone would lower a base EV suspension. Daily drivers should have a great ride especially in a place like DFW, and especially if you have a wife.
I'm looking for an EV to replace my Elonmobile. I had considered the EV6, but not after listening to you guys. Thanks for saving me from a big mistake!
Can't win em all. I love my ev6, though.
I had an early Ioniq 5, but bailed on it after a year when the ICCU issue started to emerge. In the end, it’s still a Hyundai.
What are you driving now
I don’t get people. Dude has 2 ice cars and one EV but they mostly drive the EV which is still financed. Why not sell one ICE car and just pay off the EV? Also no point in wasting money on insurance for cars not being driven.
Because I'm what I would call a car "enthusiast" and like having a variety of cars with different drivetrains and purposes?
What business is it of yours, anyway?
And I guess I should clarify. I drive my other cars a lot. Just take the EV for most errands. Driving is a hobby and so is tinkering on cars. So they're not just a point a to b thing for me.
@@Emadifications That makes sense then!
@@Emadifications I am like you. I have an EV6 with that I mostly drive around town and commute to work. I have a full size Silverado that I use for hauling stuff at work occasionally and doing Home Depot runs. I have a Sorento that my wife drives when I drive the EV6. I also have a Stinger I love and hidden in my garage is an old Torino Cobra I got in high school that I tinker on. I cried when I saw that you got rid of your stinger.
Wow. 2024 and EV buyer/owners are still beta tester. I almost bought one.
I would buy a second one if I could afford it. 15k on my EV6 and love it.
