Electric Vehicle (EV) Indicators
A
State of Charge (SOC) gauge
The State of Charge gauge displays the
high-voltage battery charge status.
B
Power/Charge gauge
Kia EV6’s Power/Charge gauge provides
information on the energy consumption rate
of the vehicle and the charge status of the
regenerative brakes.
• POWER — Shows the energy consumption
rate of the vehicle when driving uphill or
accelerating. The more electric energy used,
the higher the gauge level.
• CHARGE — Shows the charging status of the battery when it is being charged by the regenerative brakes. The more electric energy
charged, the lower the gauge level.
C
Distance to Empty (DTE)
DTE is the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining high-voltage battery level. The DTE will vary according
to the selected drive mode and Climate Control settings.
Ready indicator light — Illuminates when the vehicle is
ready to drive. When the ready indicator light is blinking,
the vehicle has detected a possible malfunction. Have
an authorized Kia dealer address the concern as soon
as possible.
EV Service warning light — Illuminates when there
is a malfunction related to the electric vehicle control
system. Have an authorized Kia dealer address the
concern as soon as possible.
Power down warning light — Illuminates when the
vehicle’s speed and performance are limited for the
safety of the electric vehicle.
Charging indicator light — Shows the charging
status of the high-voltage battery. When charging,
the GREEN indicator turns on. The indicator turns
off when not charging.
High-voltage battery level warning light —
Illuminates when the high-voltage battery charge
level is insufficient.
Regenerative brake warning lights (when both
indicators are lit) — Illuminates when the regenerative
brake system is not functioning correctly.
Energy Consumption
There are several factors that contribute to your electric vehicle’s energy consumption, including maintenance of your vehicle,
driving style, environmental conditions, vehicle weight, and vehicle aerodynamics.
Below are tips on how to help reduce energy consumption:
• Use Scheduled Climate settings to preheat the vehicle before driving.
• Keep your vehicle in good condition with regular maintenance.
• Don’t “ride” the brake pedal.
• Use the climate control system less often. Use the Driver Only setting.
• Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure.
• Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary weight in your vehicle.
• Ensure wheels are aligned correctly.
• Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks.
• Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads.
• Keep HVAC settings at moderate temperatures and use the heated front seats* and the heated steering wheel.*
For more information, refer to Section 1 of the Owner’s Manual.
EV Charge Transfer / Vehicle to Load (V2L)
7
EV Charge Transfer/Vehicle to Load (V2L) allows you to use the vehicle’s high-voltage battery to
power electrical devices like home appliances or other electronic devices. V2L can also be used
to charge items like electric bikes or another electric vehicle.
If equipped, there are two ports, an interior and an exterior. The interior port
A
is under the
rear seat. The exterior port
B
is the charging port for your EV.
If your EV’s high-voltage battery discharges to the limit set, the system will automatically
stop supplying power to the ports. Set your EV’s battery discharge limit in the infotainment
system’s Settings
C
. Press the EV button onscreen. Select Vehicle To Load (V2L) > EV Charge
Transfer Settings.
Interior Port — The EV POWER button needs to be ON to operate the port. Use
the Smart Key fob mechanical key to unlock the power outlet cover
D
. Check the
indicators on the port to ensure power is on.
Exterior Port — Open the cover of the V2L connector
B
and connect your appliance
or electronic device. Connect the V2L connector to the charging inlet on the EV, and
press the power button
E
on the connector.
Reminder: Maximum wattage is 1.9 kW, or 1,900 watts.
EV Mode — Infotainment System
1
EV Mode on the infotainment system screen
allows you to navigate several menus that include
information on available range, energy information,
next departure setting, charging and climate info,
Vehicle to Load (V2L) setting, nearby charging
stations, and EV settings. To go to EV Mode, swipe
the Home screen to see the menu buttons. Press
the EV button to enter EV Mode.
A
Available Range — Displays the available driving
distance according to the vehicle’s current location
and charge amount. The first distance is with the
Climate Control ON. The second is with the Climate Control OFF.
The estimated available range is based on a number of factors and assumes optimal driving conditions, efficient driving habits, and a
straight road. Actual range will vary with options, driving conditions, driving habits, vehicle maintenance, charging practice, battery age,
weather, temperature, and your vehicle’s condition. Battery capacity will decrease with time and use. For more information on range,
please see www.fueleconomy.gov
B
Energy Information — Displays battery charge information and electrical power consumption.
C
Next Departure — Displays the date and time set for the next battery charge.
D
Schedule Charging and Climate — Allows the user to set the charging schedule and climate.
E
Vehicle to Load (V2L)/EV Charge Transfer — Displays the battery discharge limit when powering external equipment and devices.
F
EV Settings — Allows the user to change the Winter Mode, Warning, and EV Route settings.
