IM6 EV Road Trip Sydney to Canberra: Charging Efficiency Highway Drive

Join Tom and Joy from Ludicrous Feed as they take the IM6 electric SUV on a real-world road trip from Sydney to Canberra: putting its features, efficiency, and charging capabilities to the test. This review covers the IM6's highway performance, comfort and air suspension, and pros and cons of its interior and software including the notable absence of a state-of-charge percentage on the main display. The trip highlights DC fast charging while comparing efficiency figures for the uphill and return journeys. They also provide a balanced comparison to rivals like the Tesla Model Y and Zeekr 7X, discussing the ADAS system's strengths and weaknesses, overall driving dynamics, and the final cost analysis of an EV road trip | Video by Tom Gan (Tesla Tom) and Joy of Ludicrous Feed from Sydney Australia January 2026 IM6 EV Road Trip Sydney to Canberra: Charging Efficiency Highway Drive Sydney to Canberra to Sydney | January 2026 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15p42YGhxNXU06zenDVWM4aX6QAezrzxcOOwjvmiaJeE/edit?usp=sharing EV Comparison table featured in this video: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hwofpTF_v7YgxOsc32MnLBZG3a0xqNIR0MJPpX7bdt4/edit?usp=sharing *** % SOC can be viewed: Apps - Mycar - Set ===== Financial Disclosure: - This vehicle was on loan from MG for the purposes of review, testing, and content creation - Accommodation, Food and Charging was at our own expense With thanks to our sponsors: 🔌⚡️ Explore Powershop's EV Energy Plans ⚡️🔌 Sign up to a Powershop EV plan to receive $100 CREDIT off your Electricity Bill* https://bit.ly/4nl1liy carloop - Australian EV Data & Ownership Trends https://carloop.com.au/ *Must be a new Powershop residential customer, or an existing Powershop residential customer who is moving premises, and taking up your first electricity market contract with Powershop for the premises you switch.
