To show that it doesn’t just promises, the Kia crossover has launched a major exercise: crossing the United States from east to west, from New York to Los Angeles, in order to show its capabilities. And the car has set a new Guinness World Record, traveling 2,880.5 miles (4634.7 km) with the shortest charging time.

“The EV6’s record-setting run is the latest signal that Kia will be a leader in the popularization of electric vehicles. All of Kia’s world-class engineering and experience in electric vehicles will be applied in the move to electrification. The same attention to detail, design, quality, technology and driving dynamics that Kia has become known for will be found in every new electric vehicle we bring to market.”
