Kia EV6 GT – Is it really a GT car ? 500 mile road trip had surprising result ! | 4K

Is the GT really a GT vehicle. I took it on a 500 mile road trip and the outcome was unexpected. I have actually driven one before and the fastest Kia ever made is an extremely capable bundle. Striking appearances and amazing performance.

I wanted to find out what is resembled on a longer journey. The cars and truck has actually been designed as a GT vehicle. a 500 mile road trip to Wales was an excellent test …

    Nice one pp but I’m still not convinced that is the way to go we will see 😊

    When I buy a car looks play a big part, it has to be sporty and cutting edge or as near as possible, the bhp figures are attractive on this EV but I’ve yet to see one that ticks all the boxes for me, this KIA just looks like any other car of today to me and also I’m a bit of a badge snob, I don’t think you mentioned the price and that’s another issue with these cars?
    Suppose I’ll have an EV at some time, that is if the government alloys me to own one.

    I drive a Seat Leon with 150ps which in the real world is probably just about quick enough, £42.79 will give me a range of 450 miles plus, so not really convinced with EV’s yet

      Yes but the difference with an EV is that this is the extreme pricing for the 20% of time that road trips require it. Osprey are also among the most expensive.
      So for 80%+ of the mileage, it’s about 2 to 4p per mile if charged at home.
      A 500 mile round trip like the one here would be 200+ miles at the cheap rate and the rest at the higher rate so making simple comparisons doesn’t work. Petrol pricing though is always at roughly the same high price.
      For another comparison, we recently popped down to Switzerland. 1,865 miles, charging cost was £156. That included hotel and public charging. 8 p per mile, still far cheaper than my diesel or petrol cars.
      However… It’s also pointless making *this* comparison because of the cost of the car, then again that is largely funded by solar FIT so more complexity to the equation!

      @Peter Harrison but what puts me off is the inevitable greed of the govt hiking up both electricity charging & some new tax for EV’s once there are enough on the road,a recent convo with a regional electricity network provider told me it would take 50 years for the grid to be viable (& strong enough) right now

    Another interesting film. We got 160 miles from 211 range in the dead of winter but in the good weather in June we drove for 200 miles with 50 miles of range left from a 223 mile range when we left home. What a difference. If there was a rapid charger near the rally I am going to watch 150 miles up North I would take the Jag but I guess it’s the Honda for me tomorrow. I hope my mechanic in the village here does well in his Hyundai Rally Car.

    Why can’t all electric chargers take a debit card. Having to set up many accounts for different charges stations is a potentially a big issue

      They are mandated by goverment that every charger has to be able to take contractless payment.

    I will never get used to this planning a route around chargers. At 74, being forced to buy an EV won’t be a problem for me along with heat pumps. However, with 15-minute cities and ULEZ cropping up all over the country no one will be able to travel anyway.

      *50 Minutes to charge from 30 to 100% and £42.79 !*

      It will be well in to 2050 before anyone is forced to buy an EV, by then nobody would want anything else.

      @GrrMeister Yes. If it is a planned stop for a meal, OK, but you must calculate the cost of meals for four (two adults and two eat everything children) on a road trip each time and £42.79 won’t even be the start of the costs. A good old ten minutes petrol stop is going to be a lot cheaper and a shorter journey. (Took two children to a park today. Four small servings of chips and two fruit shoots £15) … (Other drinks are available at the park )🤕

      @Mike Breen Probably correct. A shame they won’t know any better.

    I have an EV6 RWD GTLine, love the car. Not bonkers fast like the GT, but fast enough for me. I came back off holiday last week from Wells to Blackpool – 230 miles. Stopped for breakfast a a great farm shop/restaurant with a rapid Instavolt Charger – topped up the battery to 100% – there were 6 chargers and I was the only one charging. Got home without having to charge – 220 miles mostly motorway with cruise set at 75 mph – 20% remaining when we got home. The car lasted longer than me – 2 comfort breaks along the way LOL. Great car, stress free driving with the brilliant cruise control, what a car!!!

    Bloody expensive to charge that – aouch, and damned slow to boot. Another reason that Tesla seems the way to go – if only they had more chargers. That said the actual EV6 is very nice!

    Not sure I could deal with 218 on 100% charge. As much as I would love the performance. I’ve got a Q4 50 at the moment, looking at the i4 40 next, 300+ bhp, but 300+ miles.

      I’ve got the i4 40; (cancelled EV6 due to supply uncertainty), and it’s a great car, better than the model 3p I had previously too. 300 mile range achievable in warm weather.

    Proper consumer review… Very interesting.. Were you aware of the T shirt you were wearing at the beginning of the video ;)…. Love the term volt and bolt, that could be the phrase of EV drivers going forward. Cheers, Pedro, great as always.

    Nice video thank you. Some of your other videos with BEVs have been disparaging so it’s good to see you had a positive experience.

    I’ve done 750 miles in my EV, 460bhp Polestar 2, this week for about £35.
    -> Home charging : before my trip : Home solar and cheap overnight charging – 9.5p per kWh
    -> Public chargers -> Polestar users (and some other EV brands) get cheaper Inonity rates. Also, sign up to Octopus Octoverse and you can get cheaper public charging rates on many charging sites, and they give you £10 for doing so too ⚡👍

    This Kia has 570bhp – most users commenting on charging costs, have no idea what it would it would cost to run a petrol car with similar power

    I’d be happy with a ‘normal’ LR version that’d do 4m/kW / 300 miles plus. That’d be powerful enough for me, though to be fair that GT does look good!

    Kia have really cracked it with EV6.

    EV6 charging speed on a 50 kWh charger is unlikely to slow down till you reach 90% SOC, I hope you managed to see it charging on a 350 kWh rapid charger

    So, having successfully taken a long journey in the GT, is it worth the extra for those Welsh Road moments or would you pick a lower power long range? Ignore the money difference in your answer

    Great car, sat in that one in Kia Chiswick. But my god that’s very very expensive to charge up.

    Great content as always but that charging price stung a bit. Interesting future for EV’s when car dealer magazine quotes the top 10 highest depreciating motors are EV’s and Dealers won’t buy second hand as they take too long to shift off the forecourt. Some will counter that by leasing but the lease companies are hiking the price to counteract their losses at the end of the contract
