KIA EV6 review UK KIA EV6 (CV) (07.2021 - ...)

UK EV6 owners generally rate the charging network pretty highly—the Kia Charge app/Card gives you access to over 17,000 public charge points, and coverage is now genuinely solid, with rapid chargers almost everywhere outside deep countryside (where sheep sometimes outnumber sockets). Some folks think it’s still not Europe-level seamless, but big motorway drives or cross-city commutes are rarely an issue now.

Range anxiety? Most drivers say it’s a “thing of the past”—the real-world range tends to be 250–300 miles even with all the usual British surprises (rain, “just a little bit chilly,” etc.), though winter can trim 10-30% off the headline figures and heavy motorway driving will drop it further. High-speed chargers top up from 10% to 80% in under 20 minutes, so unless you’re really pushing it, you’ll only get anxious if you forget your charger app or fancy a drive across the Scottish Highlands without a plan.

Software & updates are mostly smooth, but some owners gripe about weird infotainment bugs or glitchy phone integrations—they get ironed out with updates, but it’s worth keeping the car “online” for bug fixes. Most folk agree comfort is top-notch: seats are plush, ride is quiet, and it soaks up long trips with less road noise than rivals. Only the sportiest models rumble a bit more due to tyre choice, but family and grand-touring journeys get high marks for comfort and space.

TL;DR: EV6 is comfy, hassle-free to charge, rarely panics about range, and has fewer quirks than most new EVs. Just keep your charger apps handy and count charging stops as an excuse for a posh coffee break. Would cruise again!
