How the Kia EV6 Long Range RWD compares to similar EVs on battery, range, home charging speed and V2X capability.
EV6 Long Range RWD
Kia CCS
The sweet spot in the EV6 range: 328 miles, 18-minute rapid charges, and V2L at a price that undercuts premium rivals.
EV6 Long Range AWD GT-Line S
Kia CCS
AWD traction for around £9,000 more, though WLTP range drops to 285 miles
IONIQ 6 Long Range RWD
Hyundai CCS
Same 800V platform with up to 220kW DC charging and longer WLTP range in saloon form
Model 3 Long Range RWD
Tesla CCS
170kW Supercharger access and longer range, at a similar price with a different charging network
The EV6 Long Range RWD accepts up to 233kW DC, giving a 10–80% charge in around 18 minutes. The Nissan Ariya peaks at 130kW (45 minutes for 10–80%), and even the Tesla Model 3 Long Range tops out at around 170kW. Only a handful of cars charge faster.
The AWD variant adds a second motor on the front axle for better traction in poor conditions. It costs around £9,000 more and reduces WLTP range to 285 miles. The RWD is the better choice for most UK buyers unless AWD grip is essential.
There is currently no consumer EV grant for private buyers in England. However, the 4% BIK rate makes it attractive as a company car or via salary sacrifice, and some employers or energy suppliers offer incentives towards a home charger.
The EV6 is limited to 11kW AC, so a three-phase 22kW charger will deliver at 11kW — not 22kW. This is still faster than most home wallboxes and typical destination chargers rated at 7kW.
