What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?
I wanted a good looking, strong performing battery electric vehicle that gave me good options for carrying the family dogs without having to have a high SUV style body. It is truly excellent.
What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
Styled more to look like a hatchback, Kia styling has e locked a lot in the last 5 years and it competes well with the top European designed vehicles
What have you discovered since owning the car?
Although I charge it 95% at home, any electric vehicle charging structure is very slow at rolling out in NZ. It would be nice to see more options along our state highways.
What do you like/dislike about the car?
Love the performance and handling, it came down to a two horse race between the EV6 and the Model Y Tesla. The EV6 performs better on our roads and is excellent all round.
