Expert Reply:
We have a way to install a brake controller on your 2022 Kia EV6 but you will first need to start with a 4-way like the Tekonsha part # TK65VR and then convert it to a 7-way with the # ETBC7 which comes with the wiring needed to also install a brake controller. Standard trailer wiring can't operate trailer brakes without a brake controller since trailer brakes need varying voltage to actuate the brakes without just locking them up.
So for a brake controller I would recommend the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR which uses an inertia sensor to determine how hard to apply the brakes and it only installs a small knob on the dash of the vehicle.
