Daily Driving A EV6 GT! (As A Petrol Car Owner) - Range Anxiety? Charging Problems?

  • How easy is it to daily drive a performance electric vehicle? The answer is pretty easy! (if you have a charger at home haha)
    When my boss told me he was going away for vacation and I could drive his car, I was super excited! 576 Horsepower & 545lb-ft of torque sounded like my kind of party! However, with great power comes great responsibility (and energy consumption) 🪫
    While most of my worries stemmed from range anxiety, I was able to make it work!

    I have a 2 1/2 yr old 2020 Kia Niro PHEV with 60k miles. I drive all over and yes a lot of times someone is blocking the spots. Or they may not be working, but more people blocking spots even other EVs(mostly Teslas) not charging. Its EV parking while charging not EV parking. But thankfully no range anxiety.

    I rented out a Kia Soul and became uncomfortable seating in a short time of driving local. My Porsche and previous Audi is always comfortable as well as supportive (with sports seats plus). Both local and long trips. I believe the latter companies design with ergonomics in mind. Especially Porsches who are known for over engineering.

      Basic kias do not have good seats--I have a Kona N and the seats are very comfortable and supportive--kia soul is their lowest end car and I would not judge by that--go rent a base corolla or any base car and the seats will be basic and not that supportive.

    Does it come in different specs depending on what market your in? Here in Sweden the range is 424km. I expect to get atleast 400km out of it during summer (uninspired driving).
