The Kia EV9 is an electric SUV: Sleep Utility Vehicle

The Kia EV9 is a front-runner for the title of chillest electric SUV. The new model going on sale late this year has a unique solution to killing time at the charging station . The EV9 can be ordered with two rows of climate-controlled seats with power leg extensions that can all be positioned in a reclined "Relaxation Mode" simultaneously. However, its 800-volt architecture can handle 230 kW public charger speeds and fill the battery from 10% to 80% in 25 minutes, so you won't need more than a cat nap.
