I’m a big fan of the Kia EV6, particularly in GT form. But one frequent complaint about that trim level is that while its 576 horsepower rating and zero to 60 mph time of 3.4 seconds are commendable, the range is less than stellar at 206 miles. (Other EV6 trims do much better, thankfully.) Fortunately, Kia and its corporate cousin Hyundai are switching to Tesla’s once-proprietary North American Charging Standard (NACS) port in the coming years, giving owners the same level of convenience that Tesla drivers have enjoyed for years. It’s a big shift, and at Kia’s inaugural EV Day event in Seoul this week, we learned that the EV6 is first in line to reap the benefits of that plan.
