What is that?

Is KIA getting ready to go to Mars?
Tell me this is an electric car too. It’s the worst to have an EV in the bush. What do you do if you get stuck and drain the battery? Walk a generator up?

As an experienced off-roader, what would you do if you ran out of gas in a normal vehicle? It’s the same problem. The difference here is the solar panels. If you’re truly in the bush, those panels could save you.

It takes 12 hours to charge a phone with solar! How are you going to get 13,000 watts of power from a 500-watt solar panel?

My whole house uses 2000kw per month in summer. I understand you may have concerns, but the EV6 has a 77.6kw battery with a range of 310 miles. It’s not for everyone, but it could work in many cases.

You bring a jerry can. $30 for a range extender, no subscription. But that’s not your style, right? More of a ‘look the part’ type?

Sorry, I’m just looking at photos of my real-world off-road experiences. You seem to have a narrow view of things. It’s not all about one solution—there are many ways to solve the same problem.

It has solar on the roof and charging wheels on the hubs. Not sure how that impacts charging time though.

It’s a car joke, relax.

Some people have no sense of humour or reality.
