You forgot EV6’s greatest advantage on Mustang : charging speed 10-80 of only 18 minutes (really !). And that makes the difference on long trips.

All of the glass of the Mach-E GT is formulated to avoid solar energy transfer. It's not the problem you might imagine from the total square inches of glass, and this is their excuse for not having ventilated seats with the all black interiors. It's not a problem. :-)

Sometimes you JUST need to get out of the sun...its a cost cutting measure not to have a blind.

You asked why EVs have weird door handles. One reason is that EVs are different, the door handles are different, and different can be interesting, if not always better (see pretty much everything Tesla does). The other, and better, reason is that EVs are very sensitive to aerodynamics. Typical door handles may not seem like much, but they actually create a significant amount of drag, almost as bad as the side mirrors, and even a small amount of drag can have a noticeable affect on range and efficiency. They are also a major source of wind noise which is all the more apparent without an engine masking it. There aren't a lot of easy ways to reduce drag and wind noise left, so designers went with flush door handles and are starting to do away with side mirrors as well. I do think the Mach-E takes it a little too far, though. At least the Kia's handles will still work if the electronics fail.

Those efficiency metrics must be weighed against overall weight & cargo capacity to determine value. Very few channels acknowledge this. In that way, the Mustang is _much more efficient._ I am seeing as high as 4.0 miles per kilowatt-hour in my GT PE... at typically less than motorway speeds. I deliberated for a long time between these two... and, ultimately, the greater utility, power, and range vs. weight & capacity ratios, along with the MagneRide suspension, were what determined whether I would buy a Mach-E or an EV6.

The rear is what turned me away from the ev6. Just not my cup of tea. Besides that I liked the car over the Mach e GTP. The discounts and interest rates (0%) on the Mach e are pretty good and pushed me in that direction. The ev6 Gt is way more money here right now.

Kia s Top milage on this car is 200 max..and that's on a good day..I have a 2024 Mach E GT..I charged my car last nite and got 295 miles. Clear choice is The Mustang Mach E..

That Kias estimation based on the fact they know people are going to drive a few times on each charge in quicker modes. I have a 2023 EV6 GT and I easily get 440km average per charge (274Mi). The ford has a bigger battery so efficiency is very similar, id say your just a little biased but thats fine, your car is great.

I also have a 2023 Kia EV6 GT that I have had for 1.5 years and I get much better range than the EPA estimate. Saying we can only get 200 miles on a good day is just plain wrong. If I drive conservatively in mixed driving I can get close to 300 miles when the weather is warm. Your range guess-o-meter said 295 miles? I have seen 299 miles on mine with a smaller battery (and it’s fairly accurate). I have been shocked by the range I am getting. I was fine with 200 miles, so the range has been an unexpected bonus. Of course, if you drive with a lead foot, the range will drop. I drive mostly in normal mode, which has plenty of power, and just hit the green button when I want to go fast. I recently rented a Mach E on a vacation trip, (not a GT) and liked it quite a lot. However, I didn’t like having to go into the screen to change driving modes. I’m used to hitting buttons on the steering wheel, which is much simpler and way more convenient.
