We were able to test drive the EV9 on the local highway for a few hours. We found it easy to drive and comfortable to drive long distances. The ride is smooth over ruts and bumps, while the EV9 does a great job of suppressing the sound of traffic and wind on the highway. The acceleration is quite quick and the vehicle has adjustable regenerative braking that allows "one pedal driving" by lifting off of the accelerator.
The EV9 has excellent range and can be fully recharged within three hours at home or Green Power with any commercial charger. The driver can choose from two operating modes: green power eco mode and sport mode. Eco mode focuses on torque and cruise control, while the sport mode increases speed and handling. Both modes are enjoyable to drive and provide an experience unlike any other for those who've never experienced driving an electric vehicle before.
