Does anyone know how it did this? The article of course gives no specifics. Is it more efficient? Faster charging?

Fast charging. Hyundai's E-GMP platform that EV6 is built on uses 800V and supports charging at 230kW. They advertise 18 minutes to go from 10% to 80%.

  Oh wow nice. I wish the Tesla had that. We just have to leave it at home when we go on long trips. :( It’s hard to justify adding like five hours to our trip. Just have to take the old Prius.

    Sounds like you might not know how to charge properly. I’ve discovered that a lot of Tesla owners don’t. Five hours, for how many miles of a trip? Edit: Or maybe you did not buy the long range model, in which case you are forced to charge up into the top of the range, where charging is slowest. Yeah that’s bad.

      Lol open with the attack ok. I assure you, I know how to charge properly haha. 2021 SR+ Model 3 and 12 hour drive turns into 17 hours when I did the trip planning for our last vacation using the Tesla trip planner. Believe me, I wanted it to work out.

        The Kia would probably take 2h or so to charge if you manage to find 800V chargers - would that actually work for you?

        The Tesla trip planner doesn’t make the most optimal decisions. It prefers longer, less frequent stops. Since the battery charge rate isn’t linear you can do significantly better than Tesla’s plan by keeping the battery state of charge low and hoping from charger to charger, getting just enough juice to reach the next one. A recent 7 hr drive I spent less than 40 minutes charging in my 2021 SR+. Play with a better route planner and you can almost certainly do a lot better than Teslas basic plan.

        Relax, there was an “or” there. And, what the other poster said about the trip planner.
