I've ordered the standard range RWD last week. It states that I can tow 750kgs. No further info about minimum SOC.the ev6 is said to have a capacity of up to 1600kg as long as to battery is over 35% soc. somewhere i read only with the big battery. somewhere else: only with 4wd. does anyone have exact info?
Congratulations @vinsend! Were you able to pick any specs/options for the EV6?I've ordered the standard range RWD last week. It states that I can tow 750kgs. No further info about minimum SOC.
Thanks! I'm very happy and very much looking forward to september!Congratulations @vinsend! Were you able to pick any specs/options for the EV6?
Good choice with the snow pearl! The EV6's design really suits it. Have you owned EVs before or is this your first?Thanks! I'm very happy and very much looking forward to september!
The options that were available on the base model were heatpump (€822,-) and metallic paint (€657,-). I chose the heatpump because that'll make quite a difference in Dutch winters and Snow White Pearl.
About the towbar: I contacted my dealer today to ask if I needed to choose a towbar in advance, but they don't have knowledge any of the accessoires yet so that is still tbd.
Currently driving a Leaf 2018 (lease ends in september) so great step up and awesome timingGood choice with the snow pearl! The EV6's design really suits it. Have you owned EVs before or is this your first?

I have also ordered an EV6 with the intention of towing. Where did the figure of the minimum battery level of 35% come from? From looking at other EV’s, they don’t appear to have this limit. If it’s based-on the power output of the battery when low, then this would be equalled driving at maximum speed on an autobahn or driving over some of the Swiss Passes. These are not restricted. Can someone confirm the 35% and suggest why?I've ordered the standard range RWD last week. It states that I can tow 750kgs. No further info about minimum SOC.
EV6 Towing range. I currently have an e-Niro and based on current range figures, the car should achieve on average, 4.3m/kw. In practice I have achieved 3.9, Motorway speeds, 4.3/4.6 pottering about and 5.3 sightseeing. In searching the internet, the reduction in range when towing ranges from 50% to 65%. However, the higher figures are from America towing at 75mph! The average m/Kw for the EV6 is 4.1 i.e., less than the Niro. This would suggest a towing rate of approx. 2m/kw for the EV6. From the Hyundai Ionic 5 figures the charging rate stays well above 100kw until 85% charge. Therefor based on starting at 100% and charging enroute from 10-85%, the first leg of a journey would be 139 miles with repeated stops every 116 miles. This could be very much improved if tucked in behind a lorry. Hope this helpsI wonder what the range penalty will be for towing 1600Kg?
The matte gray is a fricking nightmare to take care of, do yourself a favor and change color or buy another brand. I walked away from my first edition matte gray after I found out about the problematic issues with this color. You better be ready to clean the bird droppings off within 15 minutes or you will most likely have a permanent blemish. Also if you wipe it the wrong way the matte will turn shiny. Shame on Kia for not fully disclosing all the maintenance and problematic issues with this color/finish.I have also ordered an EV6 (GT Line AWD in matte grey).
Also because of the towing capacity of 1600Kg so I can pull my caravan (max. 1500Kg).
We can't select a towbar yet.
So I guess it won't be an automatic one.
Depending on your daily commuting distance it sounds like a plug in hybrid would be perfect for you. You'd be 100% EV around town and only use gas on long trips.Unfortunately the way EA is set up, charging would be difficult. Either unhook every 2-3hrs or take up all the spaces (if available) .
Definitely not ideal. We camp approx once a month. I don't think the Aliner will kill efficiency like that guys full size camper, but I'd say 100 miles of range isn't too wild of a guess. Fine for some of our journeys... Tricky for some others.
Probably still not feasibleReally itching to get rid of the rav while it's worth something, but I certainly can't take the camper with my leaf! Can't justify the upgrade unless I'm getting a car that can handle towing. The leaf is a perfect daily, and spending 50k on an ev doesn't make sense to me if I still have to keep a fossil around. If we were hotel people, sure. But we like our camping trips!
