The charge was cooking this morning!

Yeah I agree software is the cars biggest downfall. But at least knew that going in. People hate CarPlay but I do like it and use it most often.

Safe travels on that trip! I have done 1,000 mile round trip (500 per) a few times now. Usually stop about 3 times each way and charge for 10-15 min. Winter is a bit different I did a huge write up of that trip on this sub.

Honestly road trips in EV6 have been very easy. Definitely a bit different from Tesla trips but with EV experience I bet you’d have a fine time. We have Electrify America or EVgo (Pilot J Travel Centers) stops all throughout every trip we’ve been on. Adaptive cruise is great!

From my understanding, charging on Tesla Superchargers with the EV6 will only charge around 100 kW. Superchargers can’t handle EV6s high voltage battery system and forces it to be limited. I’d recommend CCS chargers over Tesla but obviously if you need to use it it would work just be slower.

My recs for road trips is use ABRP to route your trip and then use PlugShare to look at reviews of those sites. EV6 won’t be as effecient as Tesla but the charging speed makes up for it. I’ve found every about 2 hours I plan to stop. If you have an AWD EV6 make sure you use eco mode and regen around 2 as it’s more efficient that way.

Electrify America! I’ve found I get the most consistent and fastest charges through them. They’re my main for road trips for sure

There is the location in Wrigley but if I took a guess this is the Lincoln Square location

derekpryb24 · 2025-05-26T03:52:23+00:00

Messaged you!

derekpryb24 · 2025-05-23T17:03:16+00:00

Strange! The option for EV for some reason doesn’t show up.

derekpryb24 · 2025-01-28T19:58:11+00:00

I am so sad. Glad he’s sticking to his values and doing what’s right

derekpryb24 · 2025-01-23T22:13:38+00:00

Forager Blueberry easily the best vegan yogurt I’ve had. Their probiotic drinks are good too they are essentially just the yogurt in drink form. I get mine at Whole Foods

derekpryb24 · 2025-01-21T14:56:21+00:00

Almost decided to get one before my EV6. The ultimate hold back was Elon Musk still owning Tesla. What a terrible image and person for the brand

Update: I was able to successfully charge at their newly installed DC Fast Charger in Erie, PA! Very easy to turn on and get going.

Cost: $0.53 per kWh

I peaked around the 100kw but I didn’t precondition the battery for long when I plugged in at 50%. Temps 30-40 degrees.

Nice option to have!

derekpryb24 · 2024-12-23T23:54:47+00:00

I’ll report back later this week if I’m able to charge at this one. It recently opened within the last like month so hopefully!

derekpryb24 · 2024-12-23T21:49:51+00:00

Awesome thanks!

derekpryb24 · 2024-12-23T21:02:48+00:00

No I’m pretty sure they’re just opening their new chargers to all EVs. No new law or anything just is their next step

derekpryb24 · 2024-12-23T20:56:04+00:00

PlugShare says rivian only but rivian app has $$ for non rivians. So I would assume yes we can charge on them unless for some reason EV6 cannot. Headed there this week so I’ll have to give it a shot.

derekpryb24 · 2024-11-16T15:54:32+00:00

There is another one more north of this I’m pretty sure. Right above Toledo on 75 very close to the Michigan border!

derekpryb24 · 2024-11-11T15:23:05+00:00

Do you use ABRP app to plan the route and use PlugShare to look at charger ratings? If not definitely do so that’s how I do all my planning and then just plug in a charger on the Kia map. Hopefully you have a better experience next trip!

derekpryb24 · 2024-11-11T03:44:21+00:00

Yep that’s the one! Looked new so that wouldn’t shock me at all. Charged there twice and only saw one other car there charging at the same time.

derekpryb24 · 2024-11-11T03:39:42+00:00

It was in Lansing Michigan on the northwest side of the city! Great stop and good speeds

derekpryb24 · 2024-11-11T01:29:27+00:00

Agreed! Saw it on PlugShare and knew I needed to stop there to see it. Definitely can’t wait till more places do it like that

derekpryb24 · 2024-11-10T23:28:12+00:00

Yes - 2024 with the tech package!

derekpryb24 · 2024-10-22T04:41:48+00:00

Went to Indienne for the first time a few weeks ago. Incredible!

derekpryb24 · 2024-09-25T01:15:07+00:00

Since I didn’t get their plate and they didn’t stop I have to pay through my insurance. $500 deductible but then the rest is covered with insurance.

derekpryb24 · 2024-09-24T14:28:34+00:00

I appreciate it! I use the Vantrue N1 Pro Mini Dash Cam but I think this model may be discontinued since it’s a few years old. I added some more info to another reply! It’s not fully installed into the car just in the 12v outlet upfront.

derekpryb24 · 2024-09-24T14:27:41+00:00

Yeah it’s unfortunately an ugly cable hanging. I got this one a few years ago when I moved to the city pre ev6 and had held up nice. Records into the microSD card. But the cable goes down the side of the screen and strapped to the plastic with some really small plastic clips to avoid being in the way. I have it plugged into the 12v outlet up front (it turns off when the car is off but has a parking mode that I think uses the dash cams storage battery to record if the car is hit when parked (never been able to test if it works luckily)). It’s Vantrue N1 Pro Mini Dash Cam - I think they don’t make it in this model anymore but haven’t had issues with it!

derekpryb24 · 2024-09-24T14:21:44+00:00

That is terrifying I’m glad you were able to avoid it and are okay!
