The platform allows Kia to build quality EVs with increased efficiency and optimised packaging - this can be seen from the completely flat floor within the EV6, which doesn't have any transmission tunnel to obstruct the passengers.
With the correct charger, the EV6 can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes Yet another benefit of the E-GMP platform can be seen from the EV6's powertrain - its 800V infrastructure enables ultra-fast charging capabilities, taking just 18 minutes to charge from 10% to 80% with the adequate charger.
The platform also allows performance benefits in terms of greater power, driving range and control.
The Standard EV6 with its single-motor drivetrain puts out 168bhp and 350Nm of torque, propelling it from 0 to 100km/h in 8.5 seconds, while the dual-motor GT-Line produces 321bhp and 605Nm of torque, allowing it to complete the century sprint in just 5.2 seconds.
