Test drive: 2022 Kia EV6

Is it really the best car in the world?

Race car drivers know time spent in the pits is wasted, and that also applies to electric car owners.

Slow charging times continue to be one of the top reasons people choose not to buy an electric vehicle, but things are speeding up.

While most still need at least 40 minutes to replenish their batteries to 80% at a DC fast charging station, Tesla, Porsche, Kia, Hyundai and Lucid all have models that can do quicker than that.

But which one is the quickest?

The test found that the Kia EV6 with rear-wheel-drive and a long range battery had the best 10-minute performance with a 127-mile charge, followed by the Lucid Air GT at 124 miles and the Tesla Model S Plaid at 123 miles.

The slowest of the vehicles tested was the Ford F-150 Lightning with extended range battery, which was only able to pick up 59 miles, and the Ford Mustang Mach-E with extended range battery and rear-wheel drive at 62 miles.

“As more Americans consider an EV for their next vehicle purchase, range and charging efficiency will remain key concerns,” Edmunds’ vice president of editorial, Alistair Weaver, said.
