Video Summary
The Kia EV6's mileage efficiency at 55, 65, and 75 miles an hour was tested. The theoretical maximum range that the car can travel at these speeds was discussed. Efficiency drops with higher speeds. The efficiency drop was determined to be linear.The test took place on a highway on rolling hills over a distance of 32 miles. The outside temperature ranged from 58 to 63 degrees Fahrenheit. An extended range, all-wheel drive Kia EV6 GT Line with 20-inch wheels was tested.
The run at 75 mph resulted in an efficiency of 2.9 miles per kilowatt hour, and a theoretical range of 225 miles. The 65 mph run resulted in an efficiency of 3.5 miles per kilowatt hour, and a theoretical range of 271 miles. The 55 mph run resulted in an efficiency of 4.1 miles per kilowatt hour, and a theoretical range of 318 miles. A linear mileage drop of 0.6 miles per kilowatt hour occurs for each 10 mph increase in speed.
