Description:
Today I’m testing the Kia EV4 with the large 81 kWh battery in a real Autobahn power drive.
Front-wheel drive, 150 kW, heat pump, and 19-inch wheels (215).
How efficient is it at top speed?
How much battery do we lose at 170–177 km/h?
Does torque steer become an issue?
I drove at GPS-verified top speed for several minutes and measured:
⚡ Real-world consumption at high speed
🔋 Battery percentage used
🔥 Power draw (drive + heating + electronics)
🚗 Stability in corners and lane changes
🌡️ Power limits or overheating
💼 Fleet Charging Solution (Advertisement)
If your company provides EV company cars, charging at home is cheaper and easier.
With Tronity, fleet managers can automatically track home charging and reimburse employees accurately.
More info in the video description.
