EV questions answered Electric cars represent our future on the road, so it is important to understand them. Here are some of the most common questions and how the EV6 answers them. How long does it take to charge? The Kia EV6 is equipped with a large long-range 77.4kWh battery and 400/800-volt charging as standard. This allows for up to 60 miles of range in just 4.5mins at a 350kW ultra-fast charger.

The Kia EV6 offers a 328 mile* range from just one charge and with Kia Charge, and the IONITY network, you can travel across the UK and Europe with just one app. Range will vary depending on several factors including driving and charging habits, accessory use, temperature and topography, battery age, load, and vehicle condition. Are electric cars reliable? All Kia cars, including the electric EV6, are covered by our seven-year/100,000 mile warranty as standard for complete peace of mind. Electric motors are less complex than a petrol or diesel engine thanks to having just one moving part. Components such as brakes, suspension and tyres require routine servicing. How costly are electric cars to run? EV energy tariffs allow you to benefit from cheap energy to charge your EV6 at home. To work out how much it costs to charge, multiply your electricity unit rate in pence by the battery capacity in kWh. Electric cars also have reduced servicing and maintenance compared to a petrol or diesel model, thanks to a simpler powertrain. Power or energy? Power and energy are closely related but often confused. The key difference is time. A battery’s energy capacity is measured in kilowatt-hour (kWh), as is energy you buy at home, while power is measured in kilowatt (kW). The EV6 is powered by 168kW-430kW electric motors and all grades come with a long-range 77.4kWh battery that can be recharged at up to 350kW.
