These teething problems aside, this is the best car I've ever owned, previously I've had some very nice BMW, Audi and Volvo, the EV6 outshines all of these. There still is one problem with the sat nav where the previous destinations are all saved with 'unknown' as the date, making this function unusable. There were also two occasions when the 12v battery died, this seems to have been resolved now with firmware updates. First off the 240 socket in the rear seat was a euro socket not the required UK 3 pin, this wasn't replaced until May 2022.

Being one of the first cars into the country, there were a number of teething problems. I received my stunning Yacht Blue car in November 2021. I also test drove an MG5, ŠKODA ENYAQ and Hyundai Ioniq 5Īt the launch day in June 2021 I placed my order for my GT Line S. This left the Kia e-Niro which was firmly at the top of my list until I received the invite to the dealer launch of the EV6. The Model3 was removed because I sometimes have to carry stuff for work and the salon body just wouldn't work. The Kona was immediately removed from my list as I could live with that interior. I hired a Hyundai Kona, Kia e-Niro and Tesla Model3 each of them for 3 days when I needed to travel for work. I was lucky enough that there is a car hire firm in the town I live that have only electric cars on their fleet.

I had been looking at going EV for a little while, my diesel lease had ended at the end of 2019 so I was carless for a while.
