Kia EV9, future Air?


This is seriously impressive.. and it's coming to the US! It should be a very nice competitor for the Air. I wonder if Lucid is working on mechanical updates for the Air and future revisions of the Gravity?
 
Not bad. Reminds me of the Audi e-tron GT. In a good way.
 
It's using a prototype battery. I hope this tech becomes manufacturable and reliable soon.
 
From the front, I see your point! From the side and that absolutely beautiful rear, it's just you. 🤣
IMO the styling of Polestar's 3 and 5 look great.
 
Good luck getting a fast charger that will allow for that. Maybe in a few years but the so called fast chargers all throttle down a lot below 350kw after a few minutes from my experience.

Much of that is the car, automatically reducing charging speed as the battery SOC rises. Different cars have different charging curves.
