I am a new visitor, but I really like your videos! Straight and to the point. Giving us the relevant details we need. Keep it up! Greetings from Bulgaria
I also drive an EV6 (RWD) and came back from vacation from France this weekend . Also had a hefty consumption at 130 but surely that was largely due to the head wind, did you maybe suffer from that too?
My first EV6 (RWD) did exactly 390km@130km/h (GPS) on 235mm tires. My new EV6 (AWD) does 370 under the same conditions. Alle tested on the german Autobahn. I think something was wrong with your ev6 or its all due to the wider tires.
Richard Symons [a channel from south of England] just did a test with the Ionic 6 [against an i4 and T.model 3] and had a terrible time with the satnav software with it failing to understand voice commands. Any joy with voice commands on the EV6 with its common tech with Hyundai? I guess you have to choose the language...
Hello. I've got the Gt Line AWD myself. Went on a road trip from South Carolina to Virginia in the US. I got about 225 miles/ 360 km of range with traveling highway speeds between 70 and 80 mph. That's while having the AC on. Surprisingly different results than your vehicle.
74,5 mph is the highway speed limit in my country. So an average (in the car, not gps) about 76mph is REAL LIFE test. I do not drive as I have egs in my car. I drive in the speed limit. Any car that to keep within the proclaim range must be drive like a egg transport is not for me. If is for you, thats all ok, of course.😊
Quite high consumption for KIA. My ID.3 looks surprisingly better as per my last highway test: 127 km/h for 200km and I got around 18.5-19 kwh/100km. I feel like it really got better with sf version 3.2. Are you planning to do a consumption test on your ID.3 after you get the 3.2?
127 km/h at your tacho is probably about 123 km/h in reality. Just put around 134, that 7 km/h be astonished what happens to the consumption. We have Skoda Enyaq and EV6 to compare and Kia seems a bit more efficient in daily use.
He has the EV6 AWD 77kWh ( though he calculated it in the spreadsheet at the end, to be 75kWh!). He said in the vid that it has the heat pump as well. (Not 100% sure if they all do)
@@BatteryLife do math homework First. Change in Speed (time) Is 12.5%. consumption difference between 120 And 135 Is usually 19.2 vs. 25 = 30% difference... So you can get 30% more range with 112.5% of time. Easy. + The recharge Speed Is ONLY between 20 And 80%, So IT IS important to use full range... 70% vs 100% of range Is big difference in SOC. IT IS Nonsense to run 100-0,.. not effective.. So 30% percent of battery Is super important.
@@marianbencat6658 If getting from A-B as fast as possible it is the goal with a Car that charges at 1000km/h it’s more effecient time wise to stop and charge.
Good review this is exactly what we need. The range is 210km Normaly we stop each 2h when going on long trips seems that with this BEV we need to stop more Realy huge thx
not a good car for long journey too with this kind of consumption!! it is using more than 50% more than my car with lower HP, people will realize one day that efficiency is the key!! my car is charging faster for the same amount of km!

Hi Chris love your reviews, straight to the point and entertaining, best I’ve seen online!!! I look forward to many more…
Great review. Very informative. Thank you
Really enjoyed the music 👍 The car is nice too 🙂

I drive in one direction and than back and there was just a slight wind, so wind did not affect it.
Model 3 in these conditions will be below 20kWh/100km
I wish it was as efficient as Niro or kona. it will probably be my nexr car. i like the design

Luckily it charges very fast 😅 Pretty interesting the older models, Kona and Niro are more efficient than the new ones... wonder what happened there.
Kona and Niro are smaller cars with smaller tires, that's the simple explanation 😊
@@ev6-joerg That makes sense hehe they’re pretty big in person these new models

The voice commands worked perfectly for me.
@@BatteryLife lol, must prefer a German accent to an English, slightly London, one!!

you did not drive an avg of 76 mph, I guess ;)
@@BatteryLife I drive i-95. You drive 75 to survive.

Pretty simple. My trio computer showed 2.9 kilowatt per mile. This model has a 77 kilowatt battery pack. You do the math yourself.
@@jaymac4448Did you do the math? So you have a range of 26.6 miles? Not good. I hope you meant 2.9 miles per kwh.

@@hape4 I know it...I wrote already the real GPS speed. My tachometr speed was 130km/h
Why is it when I charge my EV 6 GT pack 2 do I get 350km at 80 then charge it another time and get 335 km???
Which ev6 model are you testing?
He has the EV6 AWD 77kWh ( though he calculated it in the spreadsheet at the end, to be 75kWh!). He said in the vid that it has the heat pump as well. (Not 100% sure if they all do)
AWD big battery
@@BatteryLife The RWD would have offered some extra KMs...
@@Mancozeb100 75kWh until 0% and some buffer below - around 2-2.5
Ev6 or ID3?
Id3, other reasons than mentioned in this video though.
130km./h Is destroying every EV range.. Slow Down to 120 And you Will get 400km range... And Will arive in better time at all.
Sorry, don't agree, it charges so fast, that even faster makes sense to get faster to your destination.

@@Foxor83 ONLY if range between A-B is possible WITHOUT stop to charge
I get 400km in my model 3 at constant 130km/h. Avg is about 125km/h due to overtaking here and there.
Good review this is exactly what we need.
The range is 210km
Normaly we stop each 2h when going on long trips seems that with this BEV we need to stop more
Realy huge thx
Nice car eh? I ordered one it came and the dealer jacked the price so much I walked away.
Bad dealer
@@BatteryLife that’s for sure and I would call it crooked.
Which country? In our market, current prices are 4-5% lower than last year
