Kia EV6

It comes on 30 mins before your scheduled departure time

I cant answer for the EV6 but the two EV's that I've owned that had remote cabin heating adjust automatically based on the current cabin temp, your desired temp and the outside temp. Its not a set amount of time.

What is the EV6 actually asking you for.... is it a start time or a departure time? If its a departure time it should mean that it will decide when it starts itself based on all those parameters.

So, if you set departure time to 8am it will decide how much time it needs to ensure the cabin is at your desired temp at 8am. That might mean it starts at 7:50 or it might start at 7:15. Depends on how cold it is.

If its just a "start now" option you are clicking on an app or something, then that will run for a set period and auto turnoff to ensure it doesnt drain the battery.

So, exactly 30mins before, no matter what the temp? Thats a bit of a waste but I suppose the important thing is that its at temp at departure time. If it achieves that reliably, its a win!

Thats unfortunate alright. I'd regularly start heating via app. Not just when leaving from home but also leaving when away. You generally know when you are leaving within 15mins and to be able to quickly press a button in the app and remotely heat it, is a nice feature.

Have not seen the car yet.

Car was delivered from Dealer to Detailer. Getting car Zeus and Titan coating done , glass and full wheel and brake callipers coating. Should have car this Friday 14th or Sat 15th. Detailer sent Pics of car. Paint needed stage one polish, piano black outside needs to be polished to have it the way it should be. Callipers were not perfect as had staining on them which detailer could not remove. Removed oversized KIA badge from boot. Having piano black inside ceramic coated and inside protected. I know yes I am car OCD. Yes it will cost a bit but worth it to me.

First EV and bloody expensive.

Will be putting up videos about how the car is and reasons why I bought EV6 over other EVs. Youtube title EV GEAR.

Not me bud. Have not seen my car yet and it is white.

In normal driving, the EV6 doesn't warm up sufficiently for optimum charging speeds. But once you reach 25 degrees min temp and SOC is low enough, it charges at 230kW.

Try keeping temps low then. The Id.3 at 50kw doesn't compare.

Not sure if cooling can be amped up in an OTA update or there's a physical limitation on the EV6. Still, it's one of the fastest charging cars currently.

I look forward to seeing your videos, perhaps it'll give me some insight into what I need to look out for (my paint and outside black plastics seemed fine but I wouldn't be looking as in detail as you or with the same level of knowledge).

Good luck when you get it, I've had several taxi drivers getting me to wind the window down at traffic lights for a bit of a yarn about it, I'm not used to this sort of attention.

€54,450 for mine

Is this not all relative? Sure you can get a better price but are you losing it on the vehicle you are trading in then? Got the earth model for €51,000.

Of course it’s relative but I expected with the grant in play that it would be fairly consistent at 55K after grant . I was quoted 56650 after the grant incl delivery before my trade in was considered.
