My answer is NO if it is not your lifestyle. Should you buy a fully electric vehicle (Battery Electric Vehicle) in the Philippines? I speak from my experience of buying one, owning one, driving one, and understanding one. Here are my top 3 reasons why: 1) Lack of charging stations and charging standards. Most commercially deployed chargers in Manila are Level 2 - the ones for home use.... and there are less than 20 of them scattered all over the Philippines with no standards (Compare that to 55,000 in the US and around 11,000 in Australia - with 400 charging stations in the city of Brisbane alone) Assuming your EV has a CHADEMO type charger with a standard 80kWH battery: Level 1 plug socket charger (10 amperes single phase) will take around 44 hours. Level 2 home chargers (22kW or 100 amperes 3-phase) will take around 4 hours. But for the standard home, Level 2 single phase (7.2kW 32A) will take 12 hours. Level 3 super chargers (350kW DC Chargers) will take around 20-35 mins. 2) While range is not a major issue in my opinion for Manila streets since the typical distance driven daily is around 10km, an 80kWH EV has a 460km WLTP which in other words is around 385km assuming you are frugal on electrics (the BMW has a 74-6 kWH configuration - 74 for electric motors and 6 for the accessories). If you don't want to worry yourself about planning your daily trips because of these numbers or the lack of understanding of what these numbers mean, EVs are definitely not for you. 3) EVs rely heavily on proper road networks (which we do not have in the Philippines). They need lane markings, standard traffic signages, kerbs, and other basic road network requirements. These things are needed by the EV for ADAS to work properly. EVs are like mobile phones with wheels. They are not your traditional car that got converted to battery power. They are electronic gadgets. If their environment does not have the necessary outboard infrastructure, then it is a waste of money to buy one. Owning them is a lifestyle decision - even in a first world country that is advanced with infrastructure. Talk to someone who owns one. Do not talk to a salesman or rely on information published by a car magazine reporter or on youtube who borrowed it and drove it for a week.
Came across your video on TH-cam kia and hyundai are really pushing the envelope with technology and engineering better built than German cars and best warranties on the planet got myself a new kia proceed gtline 7 year warranty keep up the good work 👍 kev from United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Looks great. Only sad part is charging stations are still very few in metro manila. And people like me who lives in a condo has no way to charge EVs at home. Sucks really. Probably still 5-7 years away from having a decent amount charging stations.
Good to see that manufacturers are starting to bring EVs into the PH and that a company like Ayala is building the charging infrastructure. The range on this car is more than enough to get you to and from work for more than a week without needing to charge. Realistically you’ll be charging from home more than 90% of the time. Kudos to Kia for bringing this to the Philippines.

27min video, but all helpful info is found at 25:35. Honestly just lay the side comments aside, people watching this doesn't want to know how the brand is portraying the product, but how practical it is to buy and use in a country like PH. Spec, design, practicality, performance, price. All under 10-12min. All in a regular consumer stand point
When i first saw this along c5 in January i think. I was so amazed! Very beautiful. I was having a hard time identifying the brand due to kia usually changing their logo design 😊
you forgot to compare this to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 which is on the same platform and share many parts. which is, also that last EV you drove. Price is still problem, the GT costs $52,900 in the US, under 3M pesos; spend 3M on internal combustion car and spare change 1M for fuel.

Yo camera man, set your focus to manual (or auto focus single) when your subject is somewhat stationary. Nakakahilo yung unnecessary in/out of focus starting at: 19:00

How is the battery life? Do you need to change the battery every 5 years? Another question is the maintenance. How much is the maintenance of this car?
I am curious though, how do they fair with the philippines flood issues? Regular engine vehicles tend to fare better than EVs in flood situations and since we drive in the philippines where flood is almost a natural occurence, how do they stand or what is kia's advice?
mas capablr pa nga mga ev sa baha eh kasi wala sya exhaust tsaka sealed naman mga battery nya.. may napanood ako mini ev nilusong sa baha parang wala lang naman..
I feel like there's a lot of problems here not in the car but the surrounding first of all traffic how long can this car stand.. 2nd charging area since this electric how do they charge how much will you put bills in your electric bills ... Not all buildings have any access to the charging area. Ayala will provide a charging area. What if you are in the province or in parañaque or Taguig you are going to ayala just to charge??or something like that .. not thinking negatively here just a lot of questions
its always fun watching your videos sir. you really have a great sense of humor. but ive been waiting since day one fot u to make a review then relay it to ur audience using tagalog🙂🙂🙂😂
Nice to know that EV's are coming to PH...the question is....can we use it in the flooded streets of Manila??? or this is just for the rich with multiple cars in their garage?
Can we include the details for the battery life and cost of new battery sets when reviewing for an EV? It would be great to compare this cost vs the cost of gas/ diesel. Just a suggestion. Thanks.
If the battery goes bad and the car is out of warranty most people will not replace it just based on cost alone. It would be cheaper to just buy a new car, it already happens here in the US. Then you have a battery that is flammable and more poisonous going into the dump because the Philippines has no facilities to recycle the batteries. Also who would buy a vehicle that only has 70% of the original range? A 25 year old gas car still has the same range as it was new because the gas tank doesn’t shrink.
True! KIA isn't exactly known for its good after sales service compared to the more established Jap brands wc also have EVs and Hybrids now. Bought a brand new KIA before, nice styling, average performance but mediocre after sales.
OMG! I remembered Linus Tech Tips getting so frustrated about that front console controls! LOL Personally, I find that's gonna frustrating as well. KIA should have just separated the climate controls from the audio controls. Extra knobs wouldn't hurt. Not everyone wants everything to be digital.
its a nice car! Just sat in one earlier and its a wow! Like i am awed! I came w the Range Rover SVR but i still got wowed by the EV6. It looks sexy and very simplistic, price is really good too. Reason why i sat in one, gas is getting expensive! $600-$800 monthly on gas dont make sense
kudos to you caco, great presentation indeed. just one comment regarding the price (below php4m), maybe it will have quite a stiff competition when the 2024 mazda cx-90 hybrid is out in our philippine market. what do you think?
Great video! I'm getting my GT Line AWD next week 🙂 Regarding the heated chairs and steering wheel - Believe me when it's -20 Celsius outside you would LOVE those features ;-)
You should add more time to review the air-conditioning of the cars kasi tropical county tayo, big deal ang AC lalo na sa EV, we need to know how the AC performs
Sucess sa charging station sa pinas😆 . I have my EV6 since september last year 2022. Sarap! Sulit, I trade my Mr Benz B class to it I just add 21k euros plus I recieved subsidy from Gov't 3.5k Euros. Speed+comfort+matipid wala na ako yearly maintenance at wala road tax. Btw I live in Netherlands ✌️

Waiting for the comparison between the EV6 and Ioniq 5 since they share the same platform.
Rode one last week in Shakopee, MN. A lot of Teslas ply the streets but the EV6 has more style. And acceleration is crazy quick.
Can't wait for the more powerful EV6 GT to follow suit, that would be a blast to drive!
It is a blast. I just got mine. I live in Canada. The car just wants to go fast!!
19:35 they go nyyeeeoooowww
What an amazing EV from Kia and the colour is awesome, great review Caco & Jack.
19:35 wow!

I like the added key fob feature that allows you to move the car forward or backwards.

You r one of d most and great vlogger,,, well explain, nice narrative feautures of car,,
Not an EV6 question, but do the hybrids (Kicks to be specific) get the coding exempt treatment as well? And if they are already enforced
Yes and yes!
Caco has never been this excited before.
Yo camera man, set your focus to manual (or auto focus single) when your subject is somewhat stationary. Nakakahilo yung unnecessary in/out of focus starting at: 19:00
Sa South Korea, ginagawang taxi na din ang e-vehicle nila like EV6 at IONIQ5.
Caco, did Kia mention if that price tag accounts for the tariff cut already signed by Malacanang? Seems a bit stiff.
Kaya nga estimates ko pa mga 2.5 - 3M. Wow male 4M shocks.
wala pambili pero manonood pa rin hahaha

The best in its class as per Consumer Report Mag! The problem is the charging station! Are they pervasive in the Philippines.
How is the battery life? Do you need to change the battery every 5 years? Another question is the maintenance. How much is the maintenance of this car?
Impecable design! I'm a VW fan and I'm comparing it to the ID.4 Crozz and the EV6 is starting to gain my attention even more.
I saw this once in BGC and everyone's staring at it
that looks promising, hoping for more EVs to come on PH market.
EVs na hindi nasusunog kahit ibilad sa araw ng matagal.
This looks really cool, when he started driving he was like inside the spaceship😂
Is touch screen for charging port really a good idea?
I've been watching you guys for a while now. Now I'm rewatching to find hidden gems of what kpop songs you place in the infotainment 😁😁😁
Wait the chargeport is American j1772 standard?
Edit: does this mean it's the us spec we get?
How cool is the aircon?
why is the slow portable charger for "emergencies"? In an emergency don't you want to charge quickly?
I am curious though, how do they fair with the philippines flood issues? Regular engine vehicles tend to fare better than EVs in flood situations and since we drive in the philippines where flood is almost a natural occurence, how do they stand or what is kia's advice?
Good point. I am curious though about this concern. I'm hoping to see a reponse from Kia or from EV car reviewers out there.
And this is why you take it or leave it.. These cars are obviously designed or made just for US or Korean market where floods are not an issue..
