    Got my Wind AWD two months ago. Love it. Been driving in ECO mode because I live in the city. So many lights and tons of traffic so there's no need to keep it on Sport mode. Been averaging 321 miles of range that way. But when I get to the highway, bam, just effortless speed and power. Love it. And had two days without power in my building for a scheduled power equipment replacement. The EV6 easily charged up my portable batteries and kept the fridge running for two days. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

      IT KEPT YOUR FRIDGE RUNNING?! That’s crazy! How’d it do that? That means you couldn’t leave the house because the fridge was connected to the car? Lol.

      @TheHungryRoad sorry, lol. it charged up my portable batteries.the batteries kept the fridge running. But yeah, if you have a long enough extension cord, you can plug in the fridge.

    Little more info on charging. KiloWatt is king...
    120v outlets generally max out at 20amps in most homes. 120*20=2400watts or 2.4 kw
    240v outlets for your dryer are usually 30amp. 240*30=7200watts or 7.2kw
    240v outlet for your stove or dedicated EV charger in your garage will be 50 amp. 240v*50a=12000watts or 12kw
    A slow public charger will generally put out 7kw.
    a DC fast charger will be 50kw
    Superchargers are usually 150kw up to 350kw and maybe more. This is what charges them from 20-80% in 18 minutes
    I picked up the Gravity Blue Wind AWD with Tech package (have to have the surround cameras) just 3 days ago. Yours looks a lot more blue than mine. Its nearly midnight blue.

    Just got my 2024 wind trim Awd long range blk on blk with all the perks and coming from my 2020 KIA Niro EV, never gave me a single issue for 3 years and all that was ever needed was windshield washer and tire rotation, I'm expecting the same from my EV6 for even longer and I don't miss changing my own oil not even a lil bit.

      Joking apart.. your enthusiasm for the EV6 has helped me make a decision! I’ll be ordering mine on Monday, and I’m dead serious. I test drove one on Tuesday and really liked it, but wasn’t sure if I was getting carried away or not. I really think it offers the best balance of performance, range, size and charging capability in its class. For me, it’s also the best looking offering in its class in my opinion. Just need to make the next difficult decision on what colour to go for. I’m interested on what you would choose and why?
      I’d be interested to know what colours your viewers would choose too!

      @@Mental_Fortitude. If I had my way, I would go with white in the GT trim. White just works the best with the standard black accents, lime green calipers and the red lights. It just works! Congratulations on getting to order one! I love this thing so much!

    All the negative people talking about electric vehicles…
    After five years, the battery dissipates 1 to 3% insurance doesn’t go up because of the fire issues there’s no such thing as fire issues anymore not got taken away when Tesla started coming out in 2015 the first one or two years everybody figured out about the battery catches on fire the batteries are guaranteed 1000 thousand miles resale on these cars are more better than the resale on gas powered cars. These cars are the future. If you look at the market electric vehicles used are worth more than gas powered cars.
    Cons
    Infrastructure isn’t ready yet around the United States….
    Again, these are the future..
