My wife and I need to get another car and after test driving a few different EV vehicles we are thinking about getting the Kia EV6. Anyone have one that they love / hate? Anything we should know? This would be our first electric vehicle.

    Don’t worry too much about CCS vs NACS, as there are simple adapters to convert between them. The protocol the cars talk to the chargers with is all the same, it’s just a different physical connector. If you’re going to be doing any kind of good mileage I would recommend getting the level 2 charger in your garage if you can. I use one and take advantage of cheap real-time/off peak electric rates to do all my charging in the middle of the night.

      That’s the plan to get a level 2 to get the best charging deal. We will be doing mostly city driving well within the range so just a top up when prices work
