We had the opportunity to test the EV9 for several hours on a local freeway and found it to be easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The ride is smooth and smooth over bumps and ruts, while the EV9 does a great job of reducing road noise and wind on the highway. The car's acceleration is surprisingly fast, and it comes with adjustable regenerative brakes that permit "one-pedal driving" simply by releasing the accelerator.
The EV9 has excellent range and can be fully charged in about three hours at home, or using any commercial charger. The driver can choose from two operating modes: eco mode and sport mode. The eco mode is a preference for the torque and cruise control, while the sport mode maximizes speed and handling. Both are fun to drive and provide an experience unlike any other for anyone who has never driven an electric vehicle before.
