Charging the Kia EV6 on Tesla’s Supercharger: Is It a Super Experience?

Spoiler alert: No, it isn't.

at a Tesla Supercharger. The ID4 and Lightning worked, but the Hyundai—which our EV6 shares its architecture with—didn't. Would our EV6 suffer from the same issue since it shares its platform with the Ioniq 5?

You use the Tesla mobile app to activate a charger, which couldn't be more intuitive or easier to use. Once the app told us to do so, we released the cord from the Magic Dock by first pushing it up, then pulling it down, and plugging it into the EV6. The cord was easy to maneuver, but the adaptor felt a tad flimsy, especially compared to the bulky and heavy CSS plugs we've been accustomed to.

A source at Tesla also acknowledged the need for a software update to improve charge speeds for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis' 800V EVs. The source, who asked not to be named, told us interactions between the DC-DC converter that our EV6 and its siblings use to fast charge, and Tesla's V3 Superchargers can result in voltage ripple at high charging currents.
