Ford built a genuinely quick electric crossover that happens to embarrass its own gas-powered Mustang in a drag race, the GT does 0-60 in 3.1 seconds, and one owner's 300,000-mile example lost just 8% battery capacity. The 2021, 2022 models suffered chronic infotainment failures (Bluetooth drops, system freezes) that Consumer Reports documented, and Ford's loss of the $7,500 federal tax credit leaves it thousands more expensive than a Model Y or Ioniq 5 after incentives. If you want the performance and can live without the rebate, the 2025 refresh at $38,000 finally adds the heat pump and fixes the value equation, just know you're buying into a brand still figuring out its EV commitment, with dealers sitting on unsold inventory.
The EV6 is a genuinely fun electric crossover with the fastest charging architecture in its class and handling sharp enough to make you forget you're driving a family hauler. The ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) fails often enough to strand 2% of owners unpredictably, and Kia hasn't fixed the root cause, warranty covers the repair, but not the tow truck wait or the loaner lottery at your dealer. Buy it used with heavy depreciation in your favor if you have a solid dealer nearby and can stomach the stranding risk; skip it if you need absolute reliability or hate turning radii the size of a school bus.
