You basically can drive 4 to 5 hrs on the highway in a truck before "needing" to drive, and 6 hrs in a crunch. I stop like every two hours re-up on snacks and stretch my legs. Saying that and i rarely roadtrip, maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I commute 32 miles roundtrip 5 days a week, and this is the best of both worlds.
excellent content, and really informative about the EV9. Can you please make a video of the Mobile app features? mostly interested in remote charging and scheduling, and/or camera controls?
That efficiency seems really impressive for such a large car going 70 mph at cold temperatures. I am wondering what it would have done to the range to keep four people comfortable at maybe 68 degrees. I don’t need such a big car, but it’s tempting as it has so much going for it. I think I’d probably go for the Wind.
Comparable Taycan the wagon is much morr than this. Taycan has better range in highway. InsideEV has the highway test numbers. Kia has more space cheaper service I imagine. Easier to resell EV9 than Taycan but both will lose value fast like all EVs.
I will say the layout of how and where you can get the relevant information you would want for an EV is either non intuitive or not there at all. Have to hunt for it and really when you map a destination, it should really tell you SoC on arrival, etc. Question - while cruising, and you hit an irregularity in the road, do you feel like the car shimmies sideways?

100%
Great video! Looking forward to more content like this!
Thank you!!
Thanks for the update. Do you have the GT line trim? If so, I'm wondering if Android Auto/Apple Carplay navigation shows up on the HUD?
just tagging along for the response
Ahh!! I'll have to test that, I thought it did!
I read in forums that Apple CarPlay shows directions on the HUD, but haven't found any reports on Android Auto. Please test it when you can! 😁
That would be amazing if you could test it. Let us know!@@SammyGeek
I bought a GT-Line and have confirmed that Android Auto shows the navigation on the HUD! (US model, in case it matters).

For sure! Good idea
it will be interesting to see how ev9 does with the car seats all occupied with family luggages as well. Looking to upgrade from my tesla to Kia 😬
Haha, yeah, we won't roll that style...maybe 4 and luggage. Maybe 6 for local trips.
Alright 😅
Now if they can fix fast charging cap on tesla supercharger it would be perfect and lower price lol
Haha yep
Not until Tesla adopts 800V chargers.
Can you show auto lane change in this car. Would l9ve to see that. Thanks for showing the Kia EV 9 range and effeciency!!
Yep, I will do that video!!

Have you driven the Taycan and if so, how does this compare overall?
No would be fun though!

It's awesome
