What the numbers say
The Kia EV6 costs about €46,399 to own over 5 years in Ireland — €773/month, €0.62/km at 15,000 km/yr — and depreciation is the biggest line: €28,520, 61% of the total (as of July 2, 2026).
- Call it a tie: €803 apart over 5 years is inside the noise of estimates like these — choose on fit and charging access, not on cost.
- The Kia EV6 pulls ahead of the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid 1.6 T-GDi 239hp Comfort Plus if you drive more than about 17,500 km/yr.
- On cost per month the Kia EV6 ranks #9 of 16 EV models we track in Ireland.
- Where the Kia EV6's €46,399 actually goes: depreciation €28,520 (61%), financing interest €8,087 (17%), charging €4,044 (9%), insurance €3,400 (7%), maintenance €1,748 (4%), registration & fees €600 (1%).
- Per km, that is €0.38 of depreciation and €0.05 of charging, with €0.18 for everything else — €0.62/km all-in.
- Charging vs the fleet: at €4,044 over 5 years the Kia EV6 sits within €388 of the €4,432 median for the 18 EVs we price — nothing unusual either way.
What we assume for maintenance
Assumed €350/yr for an EV at 15,000 km/yr — about €1,748 of the 5-year total above. On this market's assumptions an EV runs about €351/yr less in maintenance than a petrol car (€350 vs €701). See the methodology for sources; adjustable in the calculator.
Kia EV6 battery — replacement cost & lifespan
Most EVs never need a battery replacement inside the manufacturer's battery warranty, so this is not in the 5-year total above — but it's the cost buyers ask about most, so here it is transparently. US-sourced replacement pricing (recharged.com); local pricing varies.

Cost to charge the Kia EV6 at home
The Kia EV6 runs about €4.15 per 100 km at home — versus about €12.81 for a typical 7 L/100km petrol car. Home charging only (the ~12% AC charging loss is included); public DC fast-charging is billed per session by each network — often 2–3× the home rate — and isn't in these figures.
