I drove the $62,000 Kia EV6 GT — a genius electric SUV with supercar speed. Here are 8 things it taught me.

• We recently spent a week with Kia's new EV6 electric crossover, which starts at $49,000. 
• The GT trim we drove starts at $62,000, and it accelerates at supercar speeds. 
• The car taught us eight important things about itself — and electric vehicles as a whole.

I heard a lot of great things about the Kia EV6 GT before driving one myself. Friends and colleagues raved about its sleek new looks and lightning speed, and after a week with the car, I now do the same.

But I don't just want to tell you about that, because you've probably heard it. I want to tell you eight other things I learned while driving the EV6 GT.
