To keep things consistent, I use painter's tape to mark where I coil the charging cable. I coil it up to the desired length, then place a piece of tape at the top of each coil. This way, I always coil it the same way, which helps prevent tangles and makes it easier to store.

Have you tried charging from, say, 20% to 40% and seen if the charging speed improves? I'm wondering if the charger you're using might not be able to supply enough power to charge the car as quickly as it's capable of.

My girlfriend was trying to decide between the EV6 and the Ioniq 5. She ruled out the Ioniq 5 because to get any of the good tech features, she'd have to go for the Limited trim, which seemed overpriced to me. Plus, she really wanted blind-spot monitoring and a surround-view camera, which...

My friend already owns his own car and has a Zappi charger, so he knows how these things work. I'm curious if any other EV6 owners have any experience charging at 1.4kW/6A. My owner's manual says the minimum charging rate is 4.2kW, but I'm wondering if it's actually possible to charge at a...

That's interesting! I just got back from a 5-day trip, and I noticed a similar battery drain. I was losing about 1.15% of charge per day, even with the truck parked outside, with features like "Park" mode enabled, Gear Guard activated, and all the usual precautions. I checked the state of...

Honestly, I have no idea what's causing the issue. The Jag app no longer works with my Octopus smart charger, and I'm not expecting an easy fix. I've heard that other people have had similar problems with third-party charging apps like Octopus. It seems some manufacturers have changed their...

You can check the Tesla’s website for more information.

I'm sure you'll be fine, but I wouldn't try it unless it's specifically mentioned in the owner's manual.

Only Tesla Superchargers with a "Magic Dock" are compatible with our cars for now. Tesla needs to update their network to allow our vehicles to charge. I'm looking forward to when that happens, though, as it would significantly expand my charging options.

My friend is having the same exact issue with his car, and he's getting the same error code. He hasn't had much luck with the dealership so far. I'm curious to know how you resolved this issue. Did you find a solution?

The way the 12V battery system in my Kia EV is designed just doesn't make sense to me. The electronics that control things like the clock and remote commands use very little power – a small 12V battery could easily last for weeks. It's also not a complete system. The main car battery should be...

The only thing I'm not crazy about with my 2023 EV6 is that it doesn't have wireless Apple CarPlay. My son's 2022 Elantra has it, and it's so convenient. I'm using a USB-to-wireless adapter, and it works perfectly, but it seems like a bit of an oversight for a $50,000 car. Other than that, this...

You need to schedule a visit to the dealership. There's a software update for the HVAC system that needs to be installed by the dealer through the car's ECU. When you make the appointment, you’ll ask for the recall update with the Technical Service Bulletin number KCE22-71-EO40CV

I use the Easy Kia charge card, so I don't get any price discounts. To be honest, we don't use public chargers very often, mostly just on longer trips. The Easy Kia card works with most charging networks, but not all. So, it's good to have a backup plan, like a different charging app or my bank...

That’s a cool feature but I prefer the standard map. :ROFLMAO:

You can check Kia's website. I hope it helps!

Since my car's software updated to version 6.0.0, I've noticed that the trip history feature hasn't been working correctly. It's not updating properly for me.

How the all-wheel-drive system works in my car depends on the driving mode I select. Most modes (like Normal): The car primarily uses rear-wheel drive to save energy. The system will automatically engage all-wheel drive when extra acceleration or traction is needed, like when I'm accelerating...

The VESS backup sound in my EV is absolutely awful. I hate it so much that I've seriously considered trying to figure out how to change it, or even resorting to something drastic like pulling the fuse. I know it's there for safety, but it's incredibly annoying.

@djwolford The VESS noise on my EV is way louder than the ones I've heard in the UK. Over there, it's just a soft 'bonging' sound. Ours sounds more like an alarm! It's really obnoxious.
