Got my Wind AWD two months ago. Love it. Been driving in ECO mode because I live in the city. So many lights and tons of traffic so there's no need to keep it on Sport mode. Been averaging 321 miles of range that way. But when I get to the highway, bam, just effortless speed and power. Love it. And had two days without power in my building for a scheduled power equipment replacement. The EV6 easily charged up my portable batteries and kept the fridge running for two days. One of the best purchases I've ever made.
IT KEPT YOUR FRIDGE RUNNING?! That’s crazy! How’d it do that? That means you couldn’t leave the house because the fridge was connected to the car? Lol.
@TheHungryRoad sorry, lol. it charged up my portable batteries.the batteries kept the fridge running. But yeah, if you have a long enough extension cord, you can plug in the fridge.
There are some amazing lease deals on this model right now. Some dealers in some states will offer a 24k mile, two year lease for $165 per month with only $2000 down. And that’s for this model or even the slightly upgraded E Tech Wind AWD.
Crazy right? It’s like the EV hype has severely died down and now manufacturers can’t move the cars fast enough. Which is why I bought a GT. Lol. Browse the channel to see that video. Thank you for watching!
Little more info on charging. KiloWatt is king... 120v outlets generally max out at 20amps in most homes. 120*20=2400watts or 2.4 kw 240v outlets for your dryer are usually 30amp. 240*30=7200watts or 7.2kw 240v outlet for your stove or dedicated EV charger in your garage will be 50 amp. 240v*50a=12000watts or 12kw A slow public charger will generally put out 7kw. a DC fast charger will be 50kw Superchargers are usually 150kw up to 350kw and maybe more. This is what charges them from 20-80% in 18 minutes I picked up the Gravity Blue Wind AWD with Tech package (have to have the surround cameras) just 3 days ago. Yours looks a lot more blue than mine. Its nearly midnight blue.
Just got my 2024 wind trim Awd long range blk on blk with all the perks and coming from my 2020 KIA Niro EV, never gave me a single issue for 3 years and all that was ever needed was windshield washer and tire rotation, I'm expecting the same from my EV6 for even longer and I don't miss changing my own oil not even a lil bit.
I agree. The meridian surround system is their bottom of the. It's not what meridian puts in land Rover. I think kia needs to get a better model of the meridian
@@TheHungryRoad 😂 Joking apart.. your enthusiasm for the EV6 has helped me make a decision! I’ll be ordering mine on Monday, and I’m dead serious. I test drove one on Tuesday and really liked it, but wasn’t sure if I was getting carried away or not. I really think it offers the best balance of performance, range, size and charging capability in its class. For me, it’s also the best looking offering in its class in my opinion. Just need to make the next difficult decision on what colour to go for. I’m interested on what you would choose and why? I’d be interested to know what colours your viewers would choose too!
@@Mental_Fortitude. If I had my way, I would go with white in the GT trim. White just works the best with the standard black accents, lime green calipers and the red lights. It just works! Congratulations on getting to order one! I love this thing so much!
My cheat sheet is just notes I took from the website. Lol. This isn’t a press car so I don’t get all of the ins and outs of the car, but you are right. I did get tripped up on the V2L adapter because I had no idea what it was or how it worked, but not I do understand what it’s for.
All the negative people talking about electric vehicles… After five years, the battery dissipates 1 to 3% insurance doesn’t go up because of the fire issues there’s no such thing as fire issues anymore not got taken away when Tesla started coming out in 2015 the first one or two years everybody figured out about the battery catches on fire the batteries are guaranteed 1000 thousand miles resale on these cars are more better than the resale on gas powered cars. These cars are the future. If you look at the market electric vehicles used are worth more than gas powered cars. Cons Infrastructure isn’t ready yet around the United States…. Again, these are the future..
@@TheHungryRoad look at Holland look at China look at Japan. They’re running all 99% electric vehicles over there. Meanwhile, we’re still in the Stone Age. There is your positive reviews :-)
@@TheHungryRoad Lol vehicle to load adapter. The Little device you called the charger, Is called a V2L adapter. Used to power other devices. Can even charge another ev.
@@TheHungryRoad you mean after a small dent or rock hits it or pothole. And your insurance doubles. Most insurance companies will total the car if any kind of damage is suspected to the battery,

This was a rental, I actually bought a Runway Red GT 6 weeks ago. Lol. Thank you for the math which makes so much sense!
This was great. I just got an EV Light (my first EV) and was a bit intimidated by all the tech. This was very educational. Thanks.
You are the most welcome and thank you for checking out my video!
great vid, bro
Thank you so much for checking out my channel!
Love your positive fun to watch review getting our gt line 2 next week Cheers !
Thank you so much for watching! Congratulations on your new ride! I know it’s gonna be a LONG 2 weeks to wait! Lol. I’m still searching for my GT! 😩😫😖

Amen. I added an 800W Kicker amp and sukbwoofer to my GT to give it more bass.
@TheHungryRoad has it helped
Nice Review....thanks!
Thank you for checking it out! I appreciate you!
Go into setting and set it to unlock on approach. If that Wind has the Tech package.
I feel like I looked for it pretty heavily, but didn’t find it.
Driving a GT Line in Denver --- sweet!
It’s pretty damn cool isn’t it?!
“so much space for activities”😂😂😂😂
He means you can sleep in it. Even two people can sleep in it. If they want to sleep.
If I won a dollar every time you said “no big deal” I’d be able to get the GT twin motor version.
I’d be able to retire. 😂

We need more positive reviews!

There is your positive reviews :-)
@@chrisballard115. I will admit, whenever I do go to Europe (never been to Asia) there are SO MANY more electric vehicles there.
you need to upgrade to gt line or GT for two tone seats
Sounds about right!
omg The v2L adapter whoopin yo a$$😂
The what?
@@TheHungryRoad Lol vehicle to load adapter. The Little
device you called the charger, Is called a V2L adapter. Used to power other devices. Can even charge another ev.
@TnTteam09. IS THAT WHAT THAT WAS?! See, I had no idea! It makes all the sense now!
Wow. Sorry man. yes I’m the only one who doesn’t like this review
This is the review you get when someone who knows diddly about EV‘s reviews one.
Lol. I’m sorry to hear that, but thank you for watching anyway. I appreciated your time.
not worth the 40k battery replacement
Lol. Whet? After what, 200,000 miles?
Lol and it's covered for 10yrs 100k miles. Plus it costs less than 40k
@@TheHungryRoad you mean after a small dent or rock hits it or pothole. And your insurance doubles. Most insurance companies will total the car if any kind of damage is suspected to the battery,
@@TheHungryRoad your home insurance will increase significantly due to fire risks and other hazards
@@chall2630 100k miles is what I put in a car in a few years. I live in Northern Canada. Its a useless car here
Awful review
I’m sorry you didn’t like it.
