We rate the KiaUK EV6 so highly that we named it Car of the Year. But now we're finding out if it continues to impress when you live with it every day – including when you need to put the kettle on 🫖
As well as being able to power any electrical appliance fitted with a three-pin plug, the EV6 can top up another electric car via the same adapter. Admittedly, this is something that you’d do only in an emergency, because the charging speed is very slow and a top-up would therefore take a long time, but if you ever need to rescue a fellow electric vehicle driver and dispense just enough juice to get them to the nearest public rapid charger, this is how you’d do it. And thankfully, the EV6’s 77.
The V2L adapter is fairly easy to use. You plug it into the charging port, push a button on the end to activate it, open the semi-weatherproof flap over the three-pin socket and plug in your device. As is the case when you’re charging the car’s drive battery, the charging port locks soon after to prevent theft. Just a little while later, you’ll be enjoying the fruits of your labours. Hopefully without burning your fingers on a hot toastie maker like I did.
