AWD + 80mph (133km/h) seems like a crazy inefficient setup but he says only RWD were active in this drive.This was less encouraging Kia EV6 AWD 77,4 kWh GT-line - 130 km/h full range test
Yes. The EPA range is 353 but real world is 310. The real world miles per kWh is considered the gold standard for efficiency.The video shows the actual average speed was 71.9 mph (7:20/7:59), he only aimed at 133 kph, but there were various slowdowns etc. So, relative to the Model 3 LR in the chart above, which shows about 300ish mile range at 72 mph, the 190 mile range in the EV6 is not good. But, is this chart above theoretical or actual tested Model 3 range? I have trouble believing it is actually measured Model 3 range...but don't really know...
In addition to temperature and wheel size, wouldn’t tire width (contact patch area) and vehicle weight also factor into consumption?
More reason why comparing to an model 3, is not apples to applesYes... i.e GT models of Mach-E have worse range than the other trims with jokingly "bicycle tires." EV6 GT line may use wider tires for better handling/grip which would reduce range by a certain percentage. Weight is important but with all EVs being close in weight (4000-4500lb) I think we can compare them without weight numbers.
Temps and travel speed are the two biggest factors.
It's considered the "best in class" for efficiency. It's NOT an SUV so it's never a fair comparison but the Model Y has similar range drops due higher travel speeds (see the Inside EVs 70mph tests).More reason why comparing to an model 3, is not apples to apples
Seems like having various slowdowns is not good for comparison either. A constant 72 is going to be a lot better than 72 average with speed up and slow down.The video shows the actual average speed was 71.9 mph (7:20/7:59), he only aimed at 133 kph, but there were various slowdowns etc. So, relative to the Model 3 LR in the chart above, which shows about 300ish mile range at 72 mph, the 190 mile range in the EV6 is not good.

Would be interestingt to know the temperature it was when driven and the average speed.First drive today, mostly highway. Drive 80 miles (120km) every day so will see what consumption will do. View attachment 704
I drive 190 miles every day in my drive to and from work so I'll have REAL WORLD, cold winter numbers to give on day 1 for us all. LOL I'll test all sorts of things like climate control, battery maintenance, and different speeds to have one dataset for us to review.The video shows the actual average speed was 71.9 mph (7:20/7:59), he only aimed at 133 kph, but there were various slowdowns etc. So, relative to the Model 3 LR in the chart above, which shows about 300ish mile range at 72 mph, the 190 mile range in the EV6 is not good.

Dude.... 190 miles? I lost my mine doing a round trip of 130 miles. Switched jobs for more money and telework. I will say, was doing those 130 miles in a Bolt here in New England, it did that quite well.I drive 190 miles every day in my drive to and from work so I'll have REAL WORLD, cold winter numbers to give on day 1 for us all.

It was 9 degrees, 90 km highway at 100 km/h, 30 km small roads at 70 km/hWould be interestingt to know the temperature it was when driven and the average speed.
Where there highway km's included? It seems very low usage for a Highway drive
