No waiting to pick up our Kia EV6. Yeah, it's a Kia, but it is SOLID. Higher speed charging with the 800 kwh architecture (most cars are 400 kwh, so I can charge to 80% in about 18 minutes. Most power around here is hydro or nuclear (TVA), so not burning coal. For 3,000 miles, we've only spent $26.00 in electricity to charge.

Given that I spent $1,800 in three weeks of traveling out west, I'm happy with our purchase. We don't have to buy gas for my truck unless we're camping so we're saving money by using the EV6 for everything around town and even trips where we don't need the truck's hauling capabilities.

Yeah, I know. It's a Kia. It's electric. But it is plenty fast for my wife AWD/dual motor option, VERY well made and solid, has local dealer support 3 miles from our house, and is saving us the worries of gas prices. They're not everybody's preference and they are not a catch-all solution for everybody and every need. But it's working for us.
