Kia EV6 Ireland: Price, Range, Charging & Motor Tax (2026)

The Kia EV6 is one of the electric cars Irish buyers ask about most: long range, very fast charging and a seven-year warranty, in a shape that sits between a hatchback and an SUV. This guide covers what a new EV6 costs in Ireland today, what the running costs look like, which grants apply, and what to check if you are buying a used one.

Quick Summary

Kia Ireland lists the EV6 from €42,840, including VAT and EV grants (dealer and delivery charges extra), for the Earth long range model.

The current EV6 has an 84 kWh battery and Kia quotes up to 582 km of range.

On an 800V charger delivering at least 260 kW, a 10 to 80% charge takes about 18 minutes.

Motor tax for a battery electric car is €120 a year, the lowest band.

The SEAI grant for a new EV is €3,500, and the ICE2EV scrappage scheme can add up to €5,000 if you scrap an eligible 2013 or older petrol or diesel car.

Buying used? Check the battery size, the warranty start date, charging history and outstanding recalls on the VIN.

Kia EV6 price in Ireland

Kia Ireland lists the EV6 from €42,840 for the EV6 Earth with the 84 kWh long range battery and rear-wheel drive. The better-equipped GT-line Plus is listed from €54,750. Kia's prices include VAT and EV grants but exclude dealer and delivery charges, so always ask for the on-the-road price in writing.

Version	Price from (Kia Ireland)	Highlights
EV6 Earth (84 kWh, RWD)	€42,840	Heated front seats and steering wheel, dual 12.3" curved screens
EV6 GT-line Plus	€54,750	360 surround view cameras, heat pump, glass sunroof, powered tailgate

Because Kia's published price already has the grant taken off, compare like with like when you look at other brands: some list prices before grants, some after.

Range, battery and charging

The current EV6 uses an 84 kWh battery, and Kia quotes up to 582 km of range. Real-world range in Ireland will be lower in winter, at motorway speeds and on wet roads, as it is for every electric car, so plan around 70 to 80% of the official figure for long winter trips.

Charging is where the EV6 stands out. It runs on an 800V electrical system, and Kia says a 10 to 80% charge takes 18 minutes on a charger delivering at least 260 kW. Kia also says 15 minutes of charging can add up to 343 km. On a slower public charger, or the 50 kW units still common in Irish towns, it will take considerably longer.

Home charging: most owners charge overnight at home. SEAI offers a separate home charger grant; check the current amount on seai.ie before you buy.
Plug&Charge: the EV6 supports Plug&Charge at compatible public chargers, so you plug in and pay without an app or card.
Vehicle to load (V2L): the car can power devices such as a laptop, an e-bike charger or a kettle from its battery.
Towing: Kia lists a towing capacity of 1,800 kg.

Running costs, motor tax and grants

Kia quotes energy use of 15.9 to 17.7 kWh per 100 km (WLTP). Your cost per kilometre depends mostly on where you charge: overnight home charging on a night rate is far cheaper than public rapid charging.

Motor tax

According to Citizens Information, the annual motor tax for a battery electric vehicle is €120, the lowest band. For comparison, a petrol or diesel family SUV in a middle CO2 band can cost several times that each year.

SEAI grant and the ICE2EV scrappage scheme

SEAI EV grant: €3,500 for a new battery electric car, claimed through an SEAI-registered dealer.
ICE2EV scrappage: up to €5,000 extra (up to €8,500 in total) if you scrap a petrol or diesel car, including hybrids, from 2013 or older that you have owned for at least 12 months. The car must have valid tax and insurance and an NCT that is valid or expired no more than six months.
Price cap: from 1 August 2026, the new car must cost no more than €50,000 before the grant to qualify for ICE2EV.
Limited budget: the scheme has a set budget, split between rural and urban applicants, and closes when the money runs out. The dealer applies on your behalf.

Grants change often, so confirm the current rules on seai.ie before you sign. Grants apply to new cars only, not used ones.

Inside the EV6

The cabin is built around two curved 12.3-inch screens, one for the driver and one for navigation and media. Because the battery sits flat under the floor, there is no transmission tunnel, which gives a roomy feel in the front and more foot space in the back. The rear seats split 60:40 for longer loads.

The entry Earth model already has heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, useful on cold Irish mornings. The GT-line Plus adds 360 surround view cameras, a glass sunroof, a powered tailgate and a heat pump, which helps protect range in winter.

Buying a used Kia EV6 in Ireland

Customer deliveries of the EV6 in Ireland were due to start in October 2021, so there is now a good choice of used cars. A used EV can be a strong buy, but check these points first:

Battery size. Today's EV6 has an 84 kWh battery; the launch models in 2021 had a 77.4 kWh battery, which means less range. Confirm the battery size on the spec sheet or with a Kia dealer using the VIN.
Warranty start date. Kia offers a seven-year warranty (conditions apply). Ask for the first registration date and the warranty booklet, and confirm what cover is left and whether it transfers to you.
Battery health report. Ask the seller or a Kia dealer for a battery health (state of health) check. A healthy battery should show only a small loss of capacity for the car's age.
Recalls and software updates. Ask a Kia dealer to check the VIN for any outstanding recall or service campaign, and get confirmation in writing that they have been completed.
Charging cable and adapters. Make sure the home charging cable and, if fitted, the V2L adapter come with the car.
Tyres and brakes. Electric cars are heavy and quick, so check tyre wear carefully; regenerative braking means the brake discs can corrode if they are rarely used hard.
History check. As with any car, check outstanding finance, write-off history and mileage. Our used car checklist for Ireland covers the paperwork step by step.

Buying from a dealer gives you rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 that a private sale does not, including the right to reject a car with a serious fault within 30 days.

Is the EV6 right for you?

The EV6 suits drivers who cover long distances, can charge at home and want fast charging for the occasional trip across the country. If most of your driving is short local trips, a smaller and cheaper electric car may do the same job for less. If you cannot charge at home, think carefully about how often you would rely on public charging. Our comparison of electric, hybrid and petrol cars in Ireland can help you decide.

When you are ready, browse used electric cars on EcoSteer and compare prices from dealers around the country.
