Tesla is still top dog but the ID4 and Mach E get blown out the water lol. Let's see how the bZ4X/Solterra and Ariya fare later on, though their current range estimates indicates that neither will match up to either one of the Koreans in battery efficiency.

Yup. What's rather odd though is that the EV6 gets better range across the board compared to its Ioniq 5 sibling, despite being mechanically identical.

I think it has more to do with the weight. Supposedly the Ioniq 5 weighs around 200 pounds more than the EV6 with the same-sized battery pack, because it's a slightly larger car with a longer wheelbase. But we don't have any official weight specs yet for the U.S. models so I'm not 100% sure. The U.S. versions of the Ioniq 5 are different from the global versions because they receive the larger battery pack (77.4 kWH vs 72.6).

Just saw a response to this thread. I have an update.
I needed to paint my '99 SC painted and some minor body work done. with the supply chain issues, it took the body shop three weeks. In the meantime, I rented a Kia Niro EV. Fun experience. I took the car from LA to San Diego to go fishing. As I don't have a 220v charger, I pretty much used public charging stations. The car has a 350 mile range, so I was never really worried about that. Pretty nice. I'd like an EV for a second car. One of my friends, however, has a Model S Plaid. His experience is MUCH nicer.
I even found myself having to go to War*Mart nearby. Having FOUR apps on my phone for charging was a pain.

If the price is right, I would definitely consider one of these brothers/cousins? as a Model Y alternative. Looking at the ranges for the RWD SR versions, it just make me wish Tesla still sold the Model Y RWD SR too. The big drop in range when going to AWD in LR is disappointing though. Pretty comparable to the Mach-E and the ID.4 and real world Model Y range.

The Standard Range's price at $41K is good, but only 168HP? Not very good.
Best value option at $45K for the 225HP SE RWD. AWD bumps power to 320HP, but lose almost 50 miles in range. $3K more.
Surprised top trim AWD goes up to $55K. That is close to Model Y Long Range money.
I wonder if the EV6 will be slightly cheaper than the Ioniq 5. The EV6 GT might be $60K+? Pretty much Model Y Performance money.

haha, good find. he admits in comments that he's a sarcastic reviewer and that he's really bored of ev's right now because he finds them all like appliances.
the ev6 and ioniq 5 obviously feature distinctive styling and are targeted to hit price/range/performance/utility points. they do that pretty well.
his point about car noise due to lack of side laminated glass is a good one and why i would prefer their genesis cousin the gv60 if i had to choose.

2022 Kia EV6 pricing starts just over $40,000
It's eligible for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, and available in all 50 states
One of the key pieces of the 2022 Kia EV6 puzzle is finally here: pricing. The base model, called Light, comes with the 58-kWh battery pack for a range of 232 miles. It also gets a single rear motor making 167 horsepower. It starts at $42,115, including destination charge. It's eligible for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, which brings the effective price down to $34,615. Rebates in other states will bring that price down further.
Above the Light are the Wind and GT-Line models, which get the larger 77.4-kWh battery pack. They're offered with either a single rear motor that makes 225 hp, or dual motors and all-wheel drive that together make 320 hp. With a single motor, range for the big-battery models is 310 miles, and dual motors drop range to 274 miles. Pricing, as well as other specifications, haven't been released for the high-performance GT, yet. The EV6 line's pricing so far is listed below:
Kia expects the EV6 will reach dealers in just a few weeks and will be "eligible for sale in all 50 states." We take that to mean that it won't be restricted to just a portion of the country to begin with.
