For $15k less the EV6 GT-Line or Ioniq 5 Limited are a little smaller and just as well equipped and just as quick with AWD, but this fits a nice niche in the market segment.
why not add the electrified genesis gv70 to the list of vehicles you could buy at that pricepoint? not only is it quicker but also has a fast charger making it viable for road tripping? Infact i wouldn't be too far off saying that it's better in every way aside from the exterior looks.
280 miles range, 190kw charge rate are very doable specs for road trip. In fact my Lightning has 240 miles range, charges at 170 kw max, I have taken it on a lot Texas road trips. You just gotta stop every 2 hours for a convenient pee break. It works.

FYI Marques the net thing is a sun shade for when you have infants in the car especially but also for real passengers too, but those get used a lot for babies in car seats to keep the sun off them on drives.
I can't even comprehend how anyone can sleep at night after spending 75k on a car. Especially an ev. I can barely pay mortgage and keep food on the table these days.
Reviewing it for InsideEVs this week and I have the Double Apex Blue. Looks really good. Also very usable and I actually think you can road trip in it. Just plan your fast chargers ahead. Takes 5 mins to do that.
Sigh, these automakers just keep cranking out more and more expensive vehicles. Between fully integrated software and astronomical prices, I think I'd rather an EV converted older vehicle. At least then I could get something that might have some character and I can tailor it to my liking. The sea of crossovers is so boring and uninspiring.... (driving a 2024 Kia Sportage X-Line).... sadness.
This kind of reminds of the mach-e situation. I loved the look of that car when it came out, but then you come to find out the max charge rate is 150kW and that basically killed the idea.
Regarding road trips, Acura's website says you can get "up to 81 miles of range with a 10-minute charge." I don't know the 30-minute charge time, but presumably it's about 200 miles.
