Kia EV6 Makes History As First Korean Car To Achieve Carbon Footprint Certification


Kia’s EV6 has proven that our company’s bright future will be one that keeps the well-being of the planet at the forefront of design and implementation strategy. The EV6 has received carbon footprint certification and the “Carbon Measured” label from the esteemed Carbon Trust consultancy. Providing so much more than just zero-emissions mobility, Kia has kept a sharply-honed focus on the materials used, means of transportation for parts, and the way the vehicle is recycled when its lifespan is complete.

One of the reasons the EV6 attained this certification is its E-GMP. It is the first model to be constructed on this all-new Electric-Global Modular Platform and boasts one of the highest all-electric ranges on the market. Also touting revolutionary 800V1 ultra-fast charging along with an interior space that also leads its segment on the market, the EV6 includes PET recycled plastics, floor mats, and seat coverings, with every single model being the equivalent of 107 500ml PET bottles. 


The Carbon Trust helps show entities their opportunities for a low-carbon and sustainable world while officially certifying the environmental footprint of organizations, supply chains, and various products worldwide. PAS2050 Standards calculated the statistic of greenhouse gas emissions for the EV6 as part of the Carbon Trust’s means of assessing products. Established in 2001, the Carbon Trust has been an integral example and positive force that defines efficiency strategies and is focused on a healthier and cleaner vision for the world.

The EV6 will offer rear or all-wheel drive, two different batteries, and the ability to get from zero to 60 mph in under 3.5 seconds with the range-topping EV6 GT model. The battery options are a 58.0-kWh and a 77.4-kWh pack, and anyone who is pressed for time will appreciate the fact that you can charge from 10 percent up to 80 percent in under 18 minutes when plugged into the ultra-fast 350-kW fast charger. This setup can also add 70 miles in less than five minutes.

Some of the touches that stand out are the two-tone, two-spoke steering wheel, the cool gold accents placed throughout the cockpit, and the unique button on the center console. You’ll be able to use 54 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat, and there is also more disposable space under the front trunk. Once you are outfitted and cruising away in this awesome and fully electrified machine, consider the available Meridian upgrade which includes 14 pristine and clear speakers!
