The EV6 shares the Ioniq 5's efficient, fast-charging platform (~3.2 mi/kWh) in a sportier wrapper. Against a 27-mpg gas crossover, fuel cost per mile drops sharply, and home charging makes the savings feel almost free.
Performance GT trims use noticeably more energy, so adjust the efficiency if you go for one.
What to keep in mind
- ~3.2 mi/kWh — strong fuel-cost win over a gas crossover.
- Very fast charging for the occasional road trip.
- GT performance trims cut efficiency; model accordingly.
