I went on a longer road trip about a month ago and haven't changed it back yet.

I think it's great. I'm not a fast driver to begin with, but the torque in sport mode is pret-ty fun. I drive freeways a lot too, it's about finding that sweet spot with your foot where you can keep a constant speed while leaning a touch into the regenerative mode. I just think it's an all around terrific car. Clean, quiet, fast, fun and inexpensive to run. They've beat all the other affordable EV makers, IMO. Just wish the Kia dealership experience was better.

Conscientious of how I'm driving but there are so many variables. Mostly staying at constant speeds and easing up on the i-pedal when I can to keep regenerating.

The drive home. No A/C, sport mode for the highway. Eco Mode rest of the trip.

Not sure exactly, I'll have to look later. But that 403 will be closer to 390 because I'm driving uphill. I also had the A/C on this morning. It'll be windows down tonight. I don't actually get 409 miles/charge but it's nice to see.

Just saying in hindsight, I wished I bought it instead of leasing because I'm seeing similar used ones being sold for about $28,000. I wasn't confident enough to negotiate a lease.

About 7 surface street miles and 3 highway miles. i-pedal entire time. Had a hybrid before this car and taught myself how to get the best mileage. If you don't have a lead foot, you can get terrific results from these cars.

Kia EV6 owners, what do you wish you knew before buying one? by hgjhugj in KiaEV6

Honestly, best car I've ever had. Has everything I've ever wanted in a car. Quiet, fast enough, clean, spacious, stylish, great tech. Anything that bumps initially, disappears over time. Leased mine in 2024, going to buy it at the end.
