Regardless of which version you choose, you’ll find that the EV9 is among the most efficient large electric vehicles on the market. This is due to a number of factors, including optimum weight distribution to promote traction for both rear- and all-wheel drive models and a heat pump that helps minimize range loss in cold weather.

During our test drive of the EV9, we were able to achieve an average of 2.9 miles per kWh during a mix of backroad and freeway driving. This is very close to the manufacturer’s advertised figure and shows that this SUV can easily do more than 300 miles in everyday use. Additionally, the EV9 features standard Vehicle-to-Load functionality that allows it to charge external devices at 3.6 kW. This is a handy feature to have for things like powering a camping fridge or charging portable power tools.
