I just got an EV9 on Saturday. Looked at both the Light LR and GT Line, ended up going with the Light. Loving it so far. Did a drive on Sunday from my house to the EA chargers they have installed at the VW plant in Chattanooga just to feel what a longer trip would feel like. Can't wait for an actual road trip I have coming up in a couple of weeks.

I would only recommend the RWD if you know you won't need AWD and want to save some money because you don't care about 0-60 times as you'll still leave ICE vehicles in the dust at the light. The difference in range comes down to which settings that you use, how fast you are going, and the extra weight from the AWD models. Note that you will get more range with smaller tires, but AWD with the smaller tires can go just as far as the RWD with the bigger tires. Hope this helps.

Kyle you mentioned a few times that EPA testing should allow the car to run eco mode and disconnect the front motor. But remember the new EPA rules don’t allow that. The car maker has to run the car in both the least efficient and most efficient settings and then report the average or if they don’t want to run 2 tests they can choose to report only the least efficient settings result.

Easy answer to the range discrepancies question Kyle - they conduct their range test in normal mode, or the mode the vehicle defaults to at start. Eco and Sport mode are considered extremes. Same reason Sport modes aren't used for range test by these agencies. Some petrol cars have to get their sport/drag mode uninstalled to be legal in some states.

Not surprised they are similar when you set them to eco and only run rear wheel drive. I would expect a difference if you run in normal mode and have more stops and acceleration. For me the choice is much more about the price of the car. My EV6 is the RWD because it’s cheaper. I really don’t think most people have a use for AWD unless the RWD doesn’t have enough power as it sounds like the EV9 may. I say spend that extra money on good winter tires instead (Nokian maybe 🙂)

Might be interesting to go to the extreme on this type of test with Ioniq 6 which goes from 361 miles EPA rated (with 18in wheels and RWD) to 270 miles EPA (with 20in wheels and AWD). I think this might be the biggest difference in EPA estimated range in an EV where they have an identical battery.

I think one reason the EPA test shows a big difference between AWD and RWD range is because, for most of the test, the car is not going at a constant speed. A decent amount of the EPA test is under acceleration and deceleration, so the front motor would be triggered to engage sometimes when under hard acceleration (of course the frequency of front motor engagement would also depend on the drive mode selected).

Really really interesting on the odometer difference between the two cars. When we purchased a Niro, I asked the dealership about buying a set of the aerodynamic wheels to put on the higher trim level and they were adamant that the speedometer/odometer is calibrated between the trim lines and the different size tire would cause the speed/odometer to be off. This is kinda showing to me at least that when the tire used is just like 1% different circumference KIA might not even calibrate for the new size. And maybe its still not a worry because tire wear will still change the circumference anyway Awesome test, really interested to see if you notice a difference with Ioniq trims. Also curious if you have a set of calipers to measure tread wear in the future; I know you mentioned both of these were "broken in" but since you're big on data collection anyway it'd be yet another data point haha

Did not see the value in this test by only driving 58 miles. Kyle’s conclusion was that both models have same efficiency so no difference. Kyle knows better than this, too short of test to get overall efficiency comparison. Based on OOS’s own range tests of these vehicles, the RWD base did 278 mi 2.8 mi/kw and the AWD GT line did 260 mi (Kyle got 266 mi but he kept putting the car in neutral down hills at the end so did that for at least 6 miles so I adjusted … you can’t counting coasting in N as part of your total range) so 2.6 mi/kw … so that is the difference. Both performed a little worse than EPA estimates. But day-in and day-out the base RWD is more efficient and has a longer range. They are not the same.

With the rain and (somewhat) cold that we’ve been getting here, I’ve been getting closer to 2.0-2.1 pretty consistently. But my Ioniq5 would only get 2.5-2.6 in the same conditions, so it’s really not substantially worse given how much bigger the car is.

Your driving speed, temperature, elevation, and wind are the biggest factors when it comes to range. Driving it on the highway at 80 mph in sport mode up a mountain at 0 degrees with wind in your face will significantly reduce the range. If you have no question about the range, drive it the way you want to but if it will be close, keep it in Eco mode closer to 65-70 mph.

I think I know why the EPA range is so much lower on the GT. It has 2 motors, and remember that the new rule the EPA made was that you have to rate your vehicle in the worst performing (milage wise) driving mode that persists between starts (i.e. when you get in the vehicle it is still set). So the deference in milage is probably not in the eco mode you were driving in but in sport mode. In Eco mode they probably drive very similar (as you discovered), but in sport mode it will have both motors engaged on the GT pretty much all the time, and it will be much more aggressive than the rear wheel drive version. It is a thought, try them both in sport mode and see. I have been worried ever since the EPA made those changes that though the ratings are now more conservative, what they really do is penalize performance vehicles that allow you to keep the sport mode engaged.

This was a great test, thanks. Even before this, I thought it was odd marketing - 15-20 miles of specified range difference simply isn't significant in anything you're going to do.

As you show, it's not much of a benefit, though of course you're paying less, too. Thanks, again.

About the wind turbine carbon offset , i was curious so I made the calculation. Assuming you are comparing electricity production in comparison to natural gas and coal plant, here are the number : This is probably a wind turbine of 6MW , and most windmills runs about 45% efficiency annually, so that produce 23 millions kWH annually with 0 emissions. The equivalent coal and natural gas plant would generate respectively 11 000tm and 7000 tm of CO2 annually. Life expectancy of a wind turbine is about 30year, so you will save about 350 000tm of CO2. Of course their is emissions from the manufacture and construction of the wind turbine , but so does the coal power plant, not to mention the mining/extraction of the coal itself
