Why does the Kia EV6 have a larger battery than other EVs?

I noticed that the Kia EV6 has a 77.4 kWh battery, while other EVs in its class have smaller batteries. Can you explain why this is?

The larger battery allows for longer driving range and more efficient charging.

Kia has optimized the battery technology and power management system in the EV6, allowing for a larger battery without significantly increasing the weight of the vehicle.

Having a larger battery may also be a strategic move by Kia to compete with other EVs in the market.
