EV6 Reservation Tracker: Add Yours Here!
Take that EPA!
First time poster here. I had to share this since so many reviewers trash the range of the GT based on the EPA rating without giving the car a real world chance. I have been watching the range increase the longer I own the car. I drive mostly in Normal mode with occasional GT blasts. Lately I have been driving a little more conservatively to see what kind of range I can get. Yesterday I charged to 100% since I was going to drive about 100 miles and wanted to test it. I drove 53 miles out and 53 back for a total of 106 miles and came home with 62% battery and 166 miles of range left, so the projection was quite accurate. The drive was all freeway with maybe 5 miles of surface streets. I set the cruise at 68 mph in Eco and let the car do the driving. It was a nice day, mid 70s to 80, so good weather

for range. Needless to say, I am mightily impressed. I was OK with the 206 mile EPA rating when I bought the car in February, but 276 miles? I already loved the car, now I have found a whole new level of appreciation.

3.6 kWh is amazing, I was doing 100 mile round trips for the last 3 days and could only get around 3.1 at best if I drove it really carefully and that's in a AWD version, tried Eco and Normal and found it did not make a massive difference to be honest and at times in Eco going up hill it felt like the car was in glue it was so sluggish.
When I drove it like I wanted to this would drop to 2.5 so getting 3.6 in a GT is amazing.
Well done.

I wish the existing Kia tool set made it easier to get info out:

Average of my last 30 days (with one 130+ mile each way excursion to wales) plenty of GT mode action where possible. (Stock (UK) 21" Pilot Sport 4s tyres)

Just looked at mine and with a distance of 710 miles it says my average consumption is 3.10 mi/kWh.
So with your GT model your getting more then me in the AWD version.
That kind of negates why I got the GT to begin with.Good to hear.
I think all of the EV6’s can exceed the EPA estimate in warm weather. Just got to get the right foot to be a bit lighter….
Now it is warming up in the UK I am seeing over 230 miles range on my GT and 3.3mi/kWh in the car. Does anyone understand the app????
