She eclipses the previous record kept by the Tesla Model S on the famous New York-Los Angeles trip.

The Battle for the fast charge is in full swing between the manufacturers, who communicate more and more over the recharge time of their electric vehicles, even before approaching the question of total autonomy.On this last point, the Kia Ev6 is already in the high edge, with a minimum of 506 kilometers traveling on a single load.

Kia, from the promise to the acts

However, the model recharge is also very quickly carried out.Kia thus promises only 18 minutes to go from 10 % to 80 % battery thanks to a fast load in 800 V.

Not content to proudly display these impressive figures on paper, Kia took advantage of the Los Angeles automobile show to exhibit them in practice.

La Kia EV6 bat le record du monde de la recharge la plus rapide

The Korean brand has chosen American soil and its famous route connecting New York to Los Angeles (a Civilized Run Canonball) for its essay, in order to measure the time spent recharging its Ev6 during this long journey.In this game, we can say that Korean has managed rather well!

The Ev6 crushes the model S

The Kia Ev6 has indeed traveled the 4,600 kilometers separating New York and Los Angeles by recording only 7 hours, 10 minutes and 1 second of total charging time.An impressive time that buries the previous record held since 2015 by the Tesla Model S, which was targeting a total recharge time of 12 hours, 48 minutes and 19 seconds on the same route.

Note that the EV6 has been helped by its very good autonomy (528 kilometers in WLTP cycle) in addition to the impressive contribution of its fast load in 800 V.Kia signs a nice communication there before the marketing of the EV6 on American soil, scheduled for 2022.

In France, the Kia Ev6 is available from € 47,990 excluding bonuses.
