Kia EV6 is an electric crossover SUV unveiled in 2021. It is the second EV after Hyundai Ioniq 5 that uses the next generation e-GMP platform. Thanks to being a purely electric car, EV6 has up to 52 liters of luggage capacity in the front.
Electric SUV is being offered with five different options: Standard Range 2WD, Standard Range 4WD, Long Range 2WD, Long Range 4WD, and EV6 GT. At the top of the line-up, EV6 can produce 585 HP and 740 Nm torque. It also has two battery options: 58-kWh and 77.4-kWh. EV6’s range can go as far as 510 kilometers on a single charge.
Long Range version of the EV6 will be delivered to customers in US, Europe, and South Korea in October 2021. More powerful version Kia EV6 GT will be available sometime in the 2022. EV6 Long Range models start at around £40,000 in the UK. EV6’s US pricing estimated to be around $45,000.
<h2>Performance</h2>
Kia EV6 Long Range 2WD option has 228 HP and 350 Nm torque, whereas Long Range 4WD model can produce 325 horsepower, 605 Nm torque and 0-100 km/h performance at 5.2 seconds.
Standard Range 2WD EV6 offers 170 HP, dual motor version however offers up to 235 HP and an impressive 605 Nm torque.
EV6 GT offers 585 horsepower and 740 Nm torque. 0-100 km/h only takes 3.5 seconds. Top speed is 260 km/h. It is faster than both Tesla Model Y Performance and Porsche Taycan 4S.
Kia EV6 has a towing capacity of up to 1,600 kilograms. 58 kWh Standard Range option can only tow up to 750 kg though. These figures are true when the car has more than 35% battery charge.
<h2>Design and Features</h2>
Kia uses the new ‘digital tiger face’ which is basically shut down partially to improve aerodynamical efficiency. Lower part of the front bumper still allows air flow to pass through in order to provide cooling for the battery system. EV6 has a lightbar at the back, giving the vehicle a very sleek look. Electric crossover can be one of the best looking EVs on the market right now.
There are some similarities between the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 interior-wise. But Kia designed its EV with more vivid colors and patterns, black dashboard design also looks impressive.
Kia EV6 has two 12” curved touch displays located in the center of the dashboard and wrapped around as one body. One screen is for the infotainment system and the other functions as the digital gauge cluster. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay with wireless connection is standard. There is also a Meridian sound system option with 14 speakers available for the EV6.
Kia puts a dedicated button for reclining the front seats all the way back. While your car charging you can recline your seat with a simple push of a button. Both front and back seats have USB-C charging ports, back seat ports located very cleverly at the side of the front seats.
<h2>Range and Charging</h2>
Kia EV6 comes with both 58-kWh and 77.4-kWh battery packs. It does offer more range than its sibling Ioniq 5 which is 510 kilometers with the larger battery. High performance EV6 GT’s range will be around 400 kilometers when fully charged according to the WLTP estimates.
EV6 GT and EV6 Long Range models all support 220 kW 800V DC ultra-fast charging. It takes 18 minutes to charge EV6 from 10% to 80%. AC charging time is 7 hours and 20 minutes according to the official data.
Korean electric SUV can also share its electricity via V2L feature. Charging port can supply up to 3.6 kW of power, powering up your appliances in your caravan will not be an issue. You can even charge another electric vehicle with the Kia EV6.

Kia e-Niro is an affordable electric SUV which has been on the market since 2019. It has two battery variants: e-Niro 39 kWh and e-Niro 64 kWh. Big battery option also comes with a more powerful engine producing 204 HP. Niro EV with the small battery pack only produces 136 horsepower.
The 2022 Niro EV -as Kia America calls it- is only available with the 64-kWh battery, starts at $39,999. Newest and cheapest e-Niro in the Europe has a price around €35,000. It is rebadged with the new Kia logo, but exterior-wise nothing has changed in the new year model.
<h2>Performance</h2>
e-Niro has a single electric motor located in the front. 39 kWh version can produce 136 HP, while bigger battery model has 204 HP. It is enough for getting from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.8 seconds with the e-Niro 39 kWh and 7.8 seconds with the 64-kWh version. Torque figures are the same at 295 Nm.
<h2>Design and Features</h2>
Kia e-Niro has been using the same exterior design since its launch in 2019. It has a textured and also fully closed front grille, charging port is also located in this area.
Kia used hard plastic materials when designing the lower parts of the interior. It feels cheap and doesn’t look sturdy. It can be acceptable for a price tag equivalent to ordinary gas-powered Niro’s, but battery powered e-Niro is not cheap and spending all those money to find cheap materials on the inside will definitely disappoint some drivers.
Base model e-Niro 2 has an 8-inch infotainment display, while upper trims e-Niro 3 and e-Niro 4+ comes with a 10.25-inch touch display. These two trims also include wireless charging pad for smartphones. 7” digital gauge cluster and Android Auto &amp; Apple CarPlay support are standard for all trims.
<h2>Range and Charging</h2>
Both e-Niro 39 kWh and e-Niro 64 kWh support 100 kW DC charging and they can be charged from 0 percent to 80 percent in 54 minutes. The new Kia e-Niro 4+ is the first model to include an 11-kW AC on-board charger, it takes only 7 hours to fully charge the car. Other variants only have a 7.2 kW charger which is enough to get from 0 to 100 percent charge in 9 hours.
e-Niro can travel 289 kilometers with a fully charged 39 kWh battery. Range estimates increase to around 455 km when you choose the 64-kWh battery option. e-Niro is not the fastest or the most comfortable car, but it does offer quite a good range for the price.

Chinese electric vehicle brands are a top priority at Licarco because the EV market has become increasingly dominated by pure electric Chinese cars. Last year, China sold more EVs than the rest of the world. BYD, NIO, ORA, and Geely are some of the biggest Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.
Even though China has been producing millions of EVs for years, American drivers wouldn&#8217;t be able to buy one. It&#8217;s because vehicles made in China are subjected to a %27.5 import tariff in the US. Due to heavy taxation, Chinese brands had not prioritized the US auto market in their global plans. But that&#8217;s changing quickly, as more and more Chinese EV marques are expanding their reach towards western markets, including United States.
In this article, we gathered a list of Chinese EV brands and their expansion plans. We will update this post when an announcement is made regarding any Chinese EV maker&#8217;s global expansion.

Tesla vehicles are famous for their in-car entertainment experience. There are a bunch of games available for drivers to enjoy while charging their vehicles or spending some time inside the car. You can even use a game controller for better experience. A couple of games will also require you to connect a controller to play.
In this article, we created a guide to help you easily connect your Xbox controller to your Tesla Model 3/Y.
<h2>A Complete Guide to Connecting an Xbox Controller to Tesla Model 3/Y</h2>
If you want to play games with an Xbox controller on your Tesla, use a data cable (not a charge-only USB cable that lacks the data transfer function) to plug your controller into your Tesla Model 3/Y&#8217;s main screen via the USB-C ports in the center console or the USB-A port in the glove box. If you prefer a wireless connection, or your controller cannot be connected to your Tesla via cable, just follow our guide down below.
Step 1. Buy a wireless adapter/dongle for pairing your Xbox controller. <a href="https://amzn.to/3HCaTTv">8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/3jyyigK">MAYFLASH Magic NS 2</a> are two of the most popular choices.
Step 2. Plug the wireless adapter into your Tesla via USB data ports. Use a USB-A to USB-C adapter if necessary. Please be aware that newer Model 3/Y vehicles don&#8217;t have USB data ports in the center console. You will need to use the USB-A port inside the glove compartment.
Step 3. Put your wireless adapter into pairing mode. 8Bitdo&#8217;s pairing button is on the bottom, whereas the Magic NS&#8217;s pairing mode can be activated by pressing the black button on the side until the light goes green and blinks fast.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-32404" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration.png" alt="" width="755" height="425" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration.png 755w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration-300x169.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px" />
Step 4. In order to put your controller into pairing mode, first press the Xbox button for one second until it lights up. Then, press and hold the circular pair button located on the back of the controller for three seconds.
Step 5. Once the wireless adapter and Xbox controller ared paired up, the lights on both of these devices will stop blinking. You will see a notification message on your Tesla&#8217;s screen that confirms the pairing.
Enjoy your games!
<h3>My Tesla says the Xbox controller is disconnected. How can I fix it?</h3>
Your wireless adapter might lose the connection between your Tesla and the Xbox controller. You just need to unplug the adapter and plug it into the car again. The controller will be paired with your car in a few seconds. If you experience this issue often, you might need to contact your seller and ask about the wireless adapter&#8217;s firmware update status. Sometimes a small update could fix these disconnection problems.
<h3>Can I connect all Xbox controllers to my Tesla?</h3>
There are numerous reports on people using Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Series X controllers both wirelessly and wired to play games on their Teslas. But some of these controllers are not supported by all wireless dongles on the market. You need to thoroughly research before buying an adapter.

How to Connect an Xbox Controller to Tesla Model 3/Y? | Complete Guide

Regenerative braking technology is a bliss for the efficiency of <a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">all-electric vehicles</a>. But it takes time to get used to this helpful feature. Sometimes it gets annoying or makes no sense on some occasions. There is an option to turn it off, but things get complicated with <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a>. Let us explain.
If you want to turn off regenerative braking on your Tesla, you probably won&#8217;t find any disabling option in the menu. Because turning off regenerative braking is not possible on a Tesla. It is also impossible to adjust the regen on Tesla vehicles built since Q2 2020. Tesla Model S/3/X/Y vehicles built before that date can still be able to offer adjustments. You just need to navigate through the main screen and go to Driving, then change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; to &#8216;Low&#8217; for reducing the level of regenerative braking.
Newer Tesla vehicles come with standard level regen as default. There is no &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; adjustment option anymore. So, why wouldn&#8217;t Tesla allow its drivers to adjust regenerative braking? The main reason is that the vehicle range is heavily affected by not being able to recuperate the energy you otherwise lost to heat, etc by pressing the brake pedal. Other automakers agree with Tesla as well. According to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://electrek.co/2018/08/08/audi-e-tron-quattro-electric-suv-range-regen-braking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Audi</a>, regenerative braking can extend the range by up to 30% on average. Soon, every new electric vehicle on the market will probably remove the option to adjust regenerative braking for the sake of efficiency.
<h2>How to Adjust Regenerative Braking on Tesla Model Y/3 and Model S/X?</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32384" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-300x169.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-768x432.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425.webp 1088w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
If you drive a Tesla vehicle built before Q2 2022, your car&#8217;s main screen comes with an option to adjust regenerative braking. You just need to go to settings, then select the &#8216;Driving&#8217; menu from the left and change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; option to &#8216;Low&#8217; for partially turning off the regen.
You won&#8217;t be able to turn off this feature. There is, however, a way to heavily limit the effects of regen braking. Here&#8217;s how:
<h3>Why Does Regenerative Braking Limited on My Tesla?</h3>
If you live in a cold area or your battery is fully charged, your Tesla vehicle would warn you about the regenerative braking is being limited. That&#8217;s because the battery is unable to receive the energy from the regen system and the battery&#8217;s management system temporarily turns off the regenerative braking feature. It might take up to half an hour for your vehicle to recover from that. In order to reduce the negative effects of this limitation, you can enable an extra feature for automatically applying the brake pedals instead of regen braking. Just go to Controls &gt; Pedals &amp; Steering, then turn on the &#8216;Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking is Limited&#8217; option.
<h3>Does Regenerative Braking Work on Icy/Snowy Roads?</h3>
Not being able to turn off regenerative braking might sound dangerous on icy/snowy roads, but Tesla has a solution for this. In 2022, Tesla adjusted the traction control software of its vehicles and added a hidden snow mode. Its main function is to better handle regen braking adjustments on icy roads and snow. Take a look at the video down below for more detail.

Israel has become one of the most EV-friendly countries in the Middle East. Regular ICE vehicles are subject to high taxation (up to 83 percent, including purchase tax and VAT), while there is only a 10 percent tax on fully-electric models in Israel. Auto-importers are exploiting the unbalance between two kinds of cars, and the first brands to benefit from this are, of course, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/best-chinese-ev-manufacturers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers</a>.
People in Israel are not only facing heft taxation when buying a vehicle, but they also have to burden 62 percent taxation when filling up their tanks. Thus, low tax levels on electric car purchases and tax-free electricity give this country no other option than to adopt EVs.
We realized the rising popularity of EVs in Israel and prepared a list of budget-friendly Chinese electric vehicles in order to help our visitors from Israel easily compare affordable EV options.

9 Affordable Chinese EVs Available in Israel

On Tuesday, Kia unveiled photos of the 2024 Kia EV9 three-row electric crossover SUV. The automaker has laid the groundwork for a new flagship that will be based on the idea that debuted two years ago at the 2021 Los Angeles Motor Show.
The tall, boxy crossover SUV updates the attractive design of the Kia Telluride. With a novel twist on the brand&#8217;s dogbone grille, the vertical ends defy aerodynamics. Daytime running lights strike the fender like a lightning bolt from the bumper.
The LED headlights are all new, consisting of two stacks of little cubes, similar to an ice tray of light. Out back, the stepped pattern is repeated with taillights that ascend up the tailgate to the integrated rear roof spoiler. Kia foregoes the light bars that brace the front and rear of many other EVs, particularly in the premium class.
Large wheels with a noticeably square form are housed in boxy wheel arches. It has a discordant yet appealing design, although Kia has not revealed wheel sizes, standard features, or any other details. The roof is worn like a cap by the squat greenhouse, and a kink at the quarter window cuts a sharp line up to the roof spoiler. It appears to be both sporty and truck-like, implying some off-road capability.
<h2>The EV9 Will Have A Range of Up To 482 Kilometers/300 Miles</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-33518 size-full" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/https___www.carscoops.com_wp-content_uploads_2023_03_2024-Kia-EV9-108-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />
The cabin is even more spacious than in any other Kia car and most other production EVs. The cockpit is familiar, with two 12.3-inch panels separated by a 5.0-inch monitor behind a single pane of glass. The blocky dash, like the exterior, spreads horizontally, but instead of the haptic panel seen on contemporary Kia vehicles, Kia placed certain crucial climate control controls behind the vents. A shift lever is attached to the steering column, although the open top half of the steering wheel resembles, but differs from, the Kia EV6.
The 2024 Kia EV9 is most compelling from the dashboard back, in six- or seven-seat configurations. The floor is left open by a floating center console, which looks to feature many storage places. The front and second-row seats recline, allowing users to &#8220;relax and rest while the EV is charging,&#8221; according to Kia.
<h2>2024 Kia EV9&#8217;s Technical Specifications Comes Very Soon</h2>
EV9 will be the biggest car yet developed and constructed on the E-GMP dedicated electric-vehicle platform. The EV9 &#8220;will become the brand&#8217;s flagship vehicle and will redefine the big electric SUV category,&#8221; according to Kia, in 2022. The EV9 looks to have the potential to propel Kia into the realm of luxury.

For the time being, there are just a handful of three-row electric SUVs fetching premium pricing. The Tesla Model X was the first three-row electric vehicle to hit the market, and it recently received a $10,000 price decrease, lowering the starting price to $101,380 for five seats; an extra row costs $3,500 more. That&#8217;s a little less than the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, which starts at $105,000 and goes up to more than $130,000. The 2023 Rivian R1S starts at about $80,000 in price.
The 2024 Kia EV9&#8217;s technical specifications are due around the end of March. The price will be announced closer to the vehicle&#8217;s on-sale date later this year.

The 2024 Kia EV9 SUV Makes Its Debut With Concept Exterior

Ahead of its 2023 release, Kia is unveiling the EV9, its first electric SUV. The three-row electric SUV was initially displayed as a concept car at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show. But as its production date approaches, Kia is giving us a deeper look at what to expect.
As the demand for EVs increases, the electric SUV market is heating up. Now is the time that Kia is launching its own &#8220;flagship&#8221; EV SUV, the EV9.
<h2>Kia Desires to Enhance Its Position in Electric Car Sector</h2>
With the introduction of the EV6, Kia&#8217;s first entirely electric vehicle, the year 2022 has been successful. Kia hopes to maintain the momentum it gained in November when it set records for sales.
The Hyundai Motor Group&#8217;s E-GMP platform, which already supports Hyundai&#8217;s <a href="https://www.licarco.com/hyundai-ioniq-5-long-range-awd-2">IONIQ 5</a> and Kia&#8217;s EV6, will support the Kia EV9, the automaker&#8217;s second entirely electric car.

&nbsp;
As sales of gas-powered cars decline, Kia, like its parent company Hyundai, has embraced completely electric technology. It has incorporated EV-inspired design elements into its whole <a href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-hyundai-kona-electric-150-kw">KONA</a> series.
The EV9 is predicted to revolutionize everything for Kia and the market for electric SUVs. Kia released further details about the concept in March 2021. The SUV accelerates a 0 to 100 km/h speed of 5 seconds and 336 miles/540 km range on a full charge. The concept was initially unveiled at the LA Auto Show in 2021.

As the company seeks to sell 1.2 million EVs yearly by 2030, Kia&#8217;s flagship EV9 is so crucial role.
<h2>EV9 Electric SUV Launch Hinted </h2>
The EV9 will go into production in 2023, according to a statement from Kia in August that included photographs of the vehicle covered in camouflage. Since Kia India issued a teaser video on its Twitter account showcasing the car&#8217;s distinctive shape and edges, the carmaker plans to remove the coverings.

Hyundai Motor has validated its intention to construct a new assembly plant but has declined to provide specifics about its location. &#8220;We are excited to announce a new EV plant plan in the United States soon, but we do not have details to share at this time,&#8221; Hyundai told in the statement.
According to Reuters, the new Georgia factory will produce both the Hyundai Ioniq 7 and the Kia EV9 — 7-passenger battery-electric SUVs specifically designed for American drivers. Each is essentially a battery-powered variant of the Hyundai Telluride and Kia Palisade, the company&#8217;s largest vehicles. The ultimate official statement is likely to come later in the month, once President Biden travels to South Korea.
Hyundai announced recently a $300 million investment to transform its Alabama production plant to produce the battery-electric Genesis GV 70 and a hybrid Santa Fe. The GV 70 will indeed be Hyundai&#8217;s first electric vehicle produced in the United States. Kia has stated that it will have 14 electric vehicles by 2027. Hyundai has stated that it will launch 17 vehicles by 2030, including six for its luxury Genesis brand.
<h2>Free Land, Grants, Tax Credits, And Workforce</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-10541 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-1024x680.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="498" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-1024x680.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-300x199.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-768x510.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
SK Innovation, a battery supplier to Hyundai and Kia, already operates two battery factories in Georgia. One of them manufactures batteries for Volkswagen and began production earlier this year. Another one will provide batteries to Ford, which is constructing a new EV manufacturing facility in Tennessee. According to Reuters, the Ioniq 7&#8217;s battery will be supplied by SK On, a division of SK Innovation.
The AJC says, “The incentive package that state officials would offer to land the Hyundai Motor expansion is not immediately clear, but it could rival the record-breaking $1.5 billion bounties of perks negotiated for Rivian, which includes free land, grants, tax credits, a workforce training center, and infrastructure improvements.”
Georgia is planning to commit public resources to two major automotive manufacturers — Rivian and Hyundai/Kia — in the hopes of creating thousands of manufacturing jobs, and transforming rural areas of the state.
The arrangement with Georgia and Hyundai Motor is still in the works. Governor Kemp is now being called into question by the ex-senator David Perdue. According to former House Speaker Tip O&#8217;Neill, &#8220;all politics is local.&#8221; Rural voters who want to keep their way of life may have the final say on whether a new Hyundai and Kia factory is built.

The most exciting announcement during the 2022 CEO Investor Forum is the new modular platform which will debut in 2025. The new Integrated Modular Architecture (IMA) will be the evolved version of the electric global platform (E-GMP), which will be on the market with Hyundai vehicles like the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/hyundai-ioniq-5-long-range-awd/">Ioniq 5</a>, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/kia-ev6-gt/">Kia EV6</a>, and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/genesis-gv60-performance/">Genesis GV60</a>.
The Korean carmaker elaborated that the IMA will be developed to standardize the chassis, battery system, and motor. Its innovative architecture will improve the driving range and be used for BEVs in all segments.
The existing BEV development system of the company has different types of battery packs for each model; however, the IMA will allow equipping standardized battery packs and motors for all models, which increases cost-efficiency.  Its cell-to-pack system will allow this new architecture to be able to achieve enough energy density and decrease the charging time.
