The EV9 is a three-row electric SUV at ~2.6 mi/kWh — not the most efficient, but it replaces big 18–20 mpg gas SUVs, so the per-mile fuel saving is still large on home charging.
Families that rack up miles in a big SUV are exactly who saves most by switching, even with the EV9's higher curb weight.
What to keep in mind
- Replaces thirsty three-row gas SUVs — big per-mile fuel savings.
- ~2.6 mi/kWh is still far cheaper than 18–20 mpg gasoline at home.
- High mileage families recover the premium fastest.
