You want to buy an electric car, but you don't know which one to get.
On the other hand, there's a brand that's synonymous with electric cars in the US. There are also electric up-and-comers on the other side.
The EV6 SUV is one of the fastest-selling EV's. It is sporty, sleekly styled and does well in the range department.
Can it compete with the Model Y SUV? I went to find out.
The Model Y starts at $65,990 and Equipping the EV6 with all-wheel drive costs $10,000 more.
Some of the longest-range electric vehicles are sold byTesla. All-wheel drive is standard in the base Model Y.
The EV6's Wind RWD trim has a range of over 300 miles. All-wheel-drive models get over 200 miles of range, while base models only get over 200.
The EV6 is a fast-charging electric car. In 18 minutes, it can increase its battery level from 10% to 80%. It would take 30 minutes for the Y to complete that task.
Even though they rely on home charging or fast-charging third-party stations,Tesla owners can plug into exclusive Supercharging stations, which are common and easy to operate.
The cars are more fun to drive than other SUVs. The ride is not as comfortable as it could be due to the fact that theTesla is more Agile.
You are thrown back into your seat by the model Y. The rear-wheel-drive model of the EV6 is more powerful than the all-wheel-drive model.
The cars are similar in size, but the cars have more space for passengers and cargo. Thanks in part to its big glass roof, the Model Y's interior feels big and open, with 76.2 square feet of storage space, including a front trunk.
50.2 square feet of storage is offered by the EV6 with the seats folded.
Some buyers would prefer the sporty and bold interior of the Kia over the minimalist and button-free look of theTesla. The Model Y should be avoided by people who are repelled by using a touch screen.
It's a tech fan's dream that the Model Y has a big touch screen. It has fun features like video games, as well as more useful ones like Sentry Mode, which uses the car's many exterior cameras to watch people. New features are added to the system frequently.
It's not an Apple device on wheels and has more conventional controls than the electric car. There are two outlets that give enough electricity to power household appliances.
It is a toss up. Both are great electric options that can be used in a variety of ways.
I would pick the Kia because it was fun to drive, charged quickly, and offered a more accessible price point than theTesla.
If you want a minimalist interior, the Model Y is a good choice.
