EPA-Certified
As a part of the development of the EV6, KIA has subjected its fully-electric SUV to all sorts of vigorous testing, including tests from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In it’s extensive testing of the KIA EV6, the U.S. EPA found that KIA’s first full-electric vehicle gets an outstanding all-electric range of up to 310-miles on a single charge. Based on the rear-wheel-drive equipped EV6 models with a 77.4 kWh battery — like the EV6 GT-Line and EX+ — the EPA-certified range varies depending on how the EV6 is equipped.
Customers that opt for all-wheel-drive on their EV6 will see a decrease in their AER, only being able to travel up to 274-miles on a single charge. While this may be seen as quite a significant loss of range, the addition of all-wheel-drive more than surely makes up for the shortened range. A budget-friendly model of the EV6 — the EV6 EX — will come equipped with a 58 kWh battery, capable of a 232-mile AER.
“Offering EV6 customers over 300 miles of all-electric range per charge, combined with the ability to recharge quickly and efficiently, is foundational to the rollout of our Plan S Strategy that positions Kia as an EV leader,” said Sean Yoon, president & CEO, Kia North America, Kia America.
The outstanding EPA-certified range of the EV6 is all due to KIA’s ingenious aerodynamic design and motor performance. Carefully crafted by the engineers and designers at KIA headquarters, the EV6 is a groundbreaking vehicle and is the signal of a changing of times. KIA has recently shifted its focus from traditional, internal combustion engines, and focused on electric vehicles for a more sustainable market. This move is proving to be quite the success, as preorders for the EV6 are piling up.
