Performance
The Kia EV6 Standard Range AWD offers modest performance with a maximum power of 173 kW (235 hp / 232 bhp) and a total torque of 605 Nm (446 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.2 seconds and has a top speed of 185 km/h (115 mph), aligning more closely with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 58.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 54.0 kWh, providing a 4.0 kWh buffer (6.9%) for battery protection. Operating at a nominal voltage of 523 volts, it qualifies as an 800-volt battery system. This high voltage is pivotal in enabling the system’s charging capabilities.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle’s range is 371 km (231 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 14.6 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 233 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 43 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 18 minutes with an average charging speed of 129 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 4% to 67%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 107 kW, with each charging session taking about 19 minutes and 2 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 21 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 47 minutes, requiring five charging stops from 5% to 63%, totaling 88 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full charge from 0 to 100% in about 4 hours and 54 minutes using a home setup.
