New EV6GT Owner - Why the Low Miles per kWh on My First Drive?

Hard to tell if you’re joking or serious.

The GT has features and specs that make it special, even if you’re not using all its performance potential. It’s got a great interior, drivetrain, and suspension, which make it a good choice for people who want more than the regular trims. I would still buy a GT for those reasons, even if I don’t plan to push it on the track.

Right now, I’m looking at a few other cars to replace my Bolt.

Below 50°F and driving at 80 mph is the worst-case scenario for any EV. If you drove the same route in 80°F weather at 55 mph, you’d probably get around 3 miles per kWh. It makes that much of a difference. Also, Kia’s range ratings tend to be slightly optimistic. I regularly get around 310 real miles on my Wind AWD, which is rated for less.
