We've just taken our long-term KiaUK EV6 on a road trip to Scotland to drive the South West Coastal 300. So, how did it get on?
might be better suited to such an adventure, but first of all I didn’t have one of those to hand, and secondly I was eager to put the electric EV6 to a real test.
Starting in Dumfries, my anticlockwise route took me past the giant Clyde wind farm, over the Mennock Pass , then westwards towards Ayr and down to Stranraer for an overnight stop in Portpatrick. The next day took me back to Dumfries via Newton Stewart and Kirkcudbright, hugging the Irish Sea coastline most of the way.
By strengthening the regen on the way into corners and reducing it on the way out , I felt more involved in the driving process than I might have done in anFront seat comfort could be better, though. The bases are a bit narrow for someone my size , so sometimes I feel as though I can’t settle into them properly. But you tend to get used to this after a while, and I still felt fine after seven or eight-hour days at the wheel, albeit interspersed with plenty of breaks.
That said, at no point during the 1070 miles that I ended up covering over four days did I have to take any risks with the battery’s state of charge, thanks to the EV6’s generous range. The lowest it got to was about 18%, and most of the top-ups were relatively quick ones from 30-40% back up to 80%.
