Kia EV9 GT Long Distance Test (1000 km in Real Traffic!) + House Trip

Description:
Today’s long distance test in the Kia EV9 GT is very different from usual.

Instead of a typical Sunday highway run, this trip happens on a busy Friday with real traffic, mixed roads, and multiple charging stops. Even better: it’s combined with a 500 km journey to check out a house we might buy.

This creates a perfect real-world scenario to test how the EV9 GT performs under realistic conditions — including charging strategy, efficiency, comfort, and driver assistance systems.

What works well on long trips? Where are the weaknesses? And how does it handle a demanding day like this?
