Kia has launched fully into the conquest of the electric market with the launch of its first 100% developed as such: the Kia EV6. This dynamic and futuristic design SUV, which shares a platform and electrical system with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 , will be able to charge in less than 20 minutes when the Spanish network has superchargers , something that has yet to be seen in our territory. Charging is one of the key points of electric cars, but not the only one. If you want to become the proud owner of a zero emission car, be it the future Kia EV6, or the Volkswagen ID.3 or Cupra Born, you will have to take into account some changes in habits.
Driving an electric car is, basically, the same as driving a combustion car. Its behavior, beyond the weight of inserting the batteries, is identical and is controlled in the same way. Of course, we have a much more forceful kick when stepping on the accelerator, an aspect that we can adjust with the driving modes that this type of vehicle incorporates. We also have the aspect of regenerative braking , which allows firms such as Audi or Volkswagen to bet on drum brakes on the rear axle . This system refers to the ability of the electric motor itself to hold the car in the most common decelerations, those that do not require forceful braking. In this way, we will recharge the battery slightly at the same time that we wear out the conventional system less, getting to drive only with the foot on the accelerator at the highest resistance levels.
These details refer to the journey, a journey that will bring many new sensations to a newcomer to electrification. However, there are many other aspects to consider when purchasing a zero emissions model. The benefits are many, starting with the environment but also by avoiding restrictions on road traffic in cities or those referring to taxes. If you want to know what kinds of habits you should incorporate into your driving routines, keep reading this gallery on tips for electric cars.
