    • Congrats on the incoming MME! I think there are pros and cons of each and it comes down to personal preference. Even though I no longer have my MME, I still think it is the greatest looking EV SUV. I’ll say the EV6 rides better but the MME drives better. EV6 has better tech and charging capabilities but the MME’s build feels more premium. If it’s an around town vehicle, MME is probably preferred whereas if road trips are the common norm, EV6 may take the cake due to charging being fast. Both are great options. One area the MME is significantly better is branding, I didn’t feel badly spending $50k+ on a Ford like I do on a Kia lol.

Never been in a Tesla so maybe I'm being gullible but my brand new Rivian R1T doesn't have this fingertip adjustability of regen or much adjustability of it at all and I found it to be a joy to change it at a moments notice in the KIa. I have heard the Model 3 as well as the Y are awfully harsh around town and I don't care for thier I am a tech company interior and after sitting in the Rivian the Kia looks way less luxurious.

I am planning to purchase the Ioniq 5 because of the "head turning affect" and the roomy interior. In the EV6, the cockpit didn't appeal to me.

Don't forget to delete the EV6/BT connection on your phone when you add the adapter. There's even an adapter that'll not only allow you to wirelessly connect your phone, but it'll turn your entertainment screen into a full-blown tablet (although it's more expensive). Great videos!

They all operate similarly so I think it just comes down to what additional features are you wanting (wifi enabled, ability to adjust charge levels from phone, etc). Wallbox, ChargePoint, chipper creek, Juicebox, Blink, all seem to work well so any of them you choose should be great. The main thing is that you are installing a level 2 charger.

  • I think Hyundai (HMC) is making a BIG move with Kia from affordable car into mid-high range EV. And the EV6 is their first major player...but Kia is supposed to have ELEVEN models of EVs by '26. And the EV6 lineup isn't even complete yet. I'm wondering what the GT is going to run. I'm thinking at least 80-90k so they're creeping into that supercar/luxury market. I too remember Kia being kind of a joke. Oh, did you get your Kia from a bubble gum machine? They did have some almost cheap vehicles & some strange designs. So it's been fun watching that company grow. From a company manufacturing like $15k cars into a company going all in with the EV market. I do hope they kinda go with the Samsung business model.....a phone in ALL classes. Can get a Samsug A model phone for $200 bucks or can get the S22 Ultra for like $1600 and almost every price point in between. I know my '23 goal is to probably get me a '22 EV6 GT AWD. I'm hoping when the '23 EV market hits that the '22 EV6 drops a good amount. But right now my online build is about 58k.

They have the same battery, battery tech, software, tech, etc. They are both really spacious as well. EV6 vs the Mach-E, lots of differences.

  • Good overview of your first-hand experiences! One note that's become more obvious as time goes on: Too many car reviewers give car-makers a pass on branding vinyl as something else. Vegan leather = vinyl = plastic. That's not a knock against vinyl per se, it's just that it sounds goofy when people try to pass it off as something better, like someone who paid $20 for a "Coach" bag and tries to convince everyone it's authentic. Somewhere, marketers are laughing at the fact that people are paying over $50k for cars with vinyl seats. I'm looking forward to the day when an automaker puts real leather in an EV. For this kind of money, we should be getting real leather, or at least have the option. Do we really have to go to Porsche or BMW in order to get something that a $30k Accord has as standard?

    • I'm selling my Audi with leather interior to get an EV6 and I don't feel like Kia (or Tesla) is doing it as a cost-cutting measure so much as an environmental statement, since that's frequently the sort of thing that's important to people shopping EVs. I like leather, but I honestly doubt they're saving all that much money on the materials.

      @mattpalmer8058@mattpalmer8058 Жыл бұрын
    • @@mattpalmer8058 I think you’re illustrating my point perfectly. Instead of calling it vinyl, they call it “vegan leather,” which hopes to appeal to those who think that it will save the lives of the animals that would be the source of the leather. Based on everything I’ve read, the leather would likely have come from animals that are already being used for other purposes, so using the leather would actually make better use of a resource that is already being used. No more animals likely die just to make leather seats. But instead, the marketers have managed to sell you on the idea that creating something new out of plastic is somehow better for the environment/world while providing a lesser product that is most likely also a lower expense for them to makers. That’s brilliant marketing. That was my point.

Waiting for the second model year anyway. They already put the larger battery in the Ioniq5 for 23. But I am with you. We have a Kia Soul top of the line and it was 25k! The Stinger is the only Kia that comes close to 50k! Curious though how did you guys make out selling the MachE and Ioniq5? Wait did you sell the Model3 too?
